Mark Nicoski

[Ozza]

In the Herald Sun this morning:

Nicoski appeals to the Dogs as a running defender and he may be headed to Whitten Oval in exchange for a late draft pick.

It is understood West Coast wants the Dogs second round pick, No. 31, in return for Nicoski. But the Dogs are likely to baulk at that and may hope to land Nicoski for a fourth round choice.

Lake met with Bulldogs football manager James Fantasia and coach Rodney Eade on Monday night.

Bulldog Andrejs Everitt continues to attract attention, with the Saints believed to be still keen if they can grab a decent pick for Luke Ball.

No thanks, i would prefer Wood to be given that opportunity.

Re: Mark Nicoski

There is also a snippet on the SEN website that a 4th Round pick will get it done.

The Western Bulldogs are likely to secure West Coast's Mark Nicoski in exchange for a fourth round pick, while St Kilda has shown interest in Andrejs Everitt.

Why do we pick up duds from West Coast? He had a good year in 2005 but has gone nowhere in the last 3 years.

It's a weak draft, so he's likely to be better than a 4th rounder this year.

He did have a very serious shoulder injury that kept him out for almost a whole season ... in saying that, I don't think we need him at the Dogs ... his ball use is ordinary

But why Nicoski? Wouldn't it be better if we went after a small forward?

Yes, but who is available for a 4th rounder? You need two parties in any transaction.

Stokes from Hawthorn maybe? Shane Edwards from Richmond?

Rhan Hooper from Brisbane.

Rhan Hooper from Brisbane.

I'd stay away from Hooper, nothing but trouble and you don't get good return for your money.

Nicoski down back and Harbrow as our small forward who can apply defensive pressure I believe is the plan (assuming of course that our interest is true)

[Bulldog Revolution]

Re: Mark Nicoski

I had previously thought Nicoski was a good developing player - but obviously injuries slowed him up considerably.

He is not worth a second round pick, but might be worth a flyer with a late pick

... his ball use is ordinary

I'd always thought he was a good long left foot kick - is that not really the case?

Re: Mark Nicoski

Stokes from Hawthorn maybe? Shane Edwards from Richmond?

There are only two players I'd even remotely consider from Richmond, and Edwards isn't one of them. He is hopeless.

I'm not against Nicoski. He has ability though hasn't really developed over there. It's an interesting proposition. I think a fourth round draft pick would be fair.

Re: Mark Nicoski

Maybe he could be used as a small foward option.
