Bulldogs to speak to Hall

Re: Bulldogs to speak to Hall

I'm all for trading pick 96 but 4th round picks can still be pretty useful.

Not if you only have three vacant spots on the list

Re: Bulldogs to speak to Hall

Think EVERY club, including ours is going to turn a fair bit of their list over at the end of the year, with the GC coming in in 2011....whatever early draft picks we can get our hands on and keep will be extreamly valuable

I wouldnt be happy giving anything earlier than a 4th round pick for Barry

His contract is also very important...we are going to pay him the mega bucks he was on at Sydney, but i'd love to see him get paid bonus $$$s for Bulldog wins that he plays in on top of his base

Wouldnt want to see the club do a Crofty on him though, dont want him going berzerk

On the contrary, if he plays with us next year it will be on OUR terms otherwise he is finished as an AFL footballer. Base contract with a behavioual clause that lets us release him without paying him out if he has a brain fade is what I would be pushing for.

Will we really go another year with only 3 draft picks?

There is no reason why we can't pick up Hall & go in with at least 4 selections in the draft, we may very well also drop a few rookies as well, there would be another few selections.

It's a chance, remember it's really only 2/3 of a draft.

Pick 15 is equal to pick 22 in a normal year.
Pick 32 is equal to pick 48
Pick 48 is equal to pick 72.

What are we likely to get with (the equivalent of) pick 100 that we won't get in the rookie draft?

Re: Bulldogs to speak to Hall

I would be happy with this option, but with Roughead's development, I still think a straight swap for Skipper is the best option for both parties.

When I read your first post I thought you were either a bit deranged or else I wanted some of what you were smoking, but;

It smacks of Sydney recruiting, a there-abouts from another club, who could contribute for them immediately.

He has been in great form in the VFL, and is only being kept out of the team by the equally outstanding form of Hudson and Minson.

Sydney need a back-up ruckman, especially if they're sending White forward.

He's only 26.

They're going to get nothing for Hall, and we're the only club interested; why wouldn't they at least have a good look at it.

That's a really persuasive post and you changed my mind. Skip could/would be fairly useful for the Swans and it might just be in his best interests to put a plan like that to him.
