2012...the season that just keeps giving. We can't take a fricking trick.

Lachie Hunter as a 3rd round pick is a small win by all accounts

Mitch Brown from W/C has requested a trade back to Victoria (St.Kilda reportedly offered a 3 year deal).

GVGjr (?) amoung others was very keen to go after him 24mths ago.

He is still only 23, but has had his injury troubles but has just won the West Coast "Bestclubman" award.

What are posters thoughts? He can defiently fill a roll as key back and possible key forward.

Yeah....but can't say I'm feeling on top of the world with today's events. Perhaps it will all turn out for the best but we're not a club that lady luck shines on.

Huge pressure on our football department getting the picks right. Back off on the inside midfielders this year guys.

i agree! we can never seem to catch a break (although sometimes its through our own fault). But we finally land a decent no 1 pick in Cooney and what happens? He gets degenerative knee issue!

Ok, enough of the "poor is me" attitude. We can only control the controllables.
Who do we pick with 5 & 6? Toumpas and Gartlett? Is Menzel worth the risk at 6?

Well said Desi.

I think we need to look at someone like a Gartlett (pace, line breaking ability, good disposal).

We should offload Lake secure Brown and maybe get 3 1st round picks! I think he is worth 2nd round at best and we could get Hawthorns first round pick for Lake.

Thoughts ?

It is good lateral thinking. I would hope we look at all scenarios that can give us as many first round picks as we can get. We would address our ageing backline issues if we landed Brown.
Would Hawthorn do it though?

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Far out, we really owe the Western Bulldogs fatherhood club a great deal in terms of silver linings this and last year. Wallis, Libba, Cordy, Hunter.

Im not too keen on trading out Lake. I agree a early second round pick for Brown is what he is worth.
