Re: Western Bulldogs chase Blues star Andrew Walker

I think we need to trade Everitt so we dont run the risk of losing him next year as an uncontracted player.
Its obvious he is not in Eade's bext 22, how is it going to change next year?
GVGjr, why would you want to retain him and potentially lose him for nothing next year?

If that comes to pass we end up with the number 1 and 2 picks from that draft!

would rather Everitt than Walker myself. Unless he gets some teflon shoulder implants.

Re: Western Bulldogs chase Blues star Andrew Walker

If we do trade for Djerkurra, does anybody think that either he or Hooper will be earmarked to take over Harbrow's attacking defender role in 2011? Keeping in mind that Hooper played most of his junior footy in defence, averaging good numbers and even for his size ranking high in marks from oposition kicks.

At 172cm Hooper will struggle at AFL level as a defender IMO. If he was earmarked for the role, he would have spent time ther at VFL level (he spent almost all his time forward).

Djerkurra plays midfield at VFL level. I actually think we are ok for Harbrow's replacement with Wood & Murphy playing back - Wood provides the run & drive, and Murphy the creativity.

I posted this in the 'trading' thread, he has chosen the Dogs as the club he wants to get traded to. He's not overly confident of getting his wish as he's still contracted, Carlton are pricks to deal with and they will over price him(and they don't want Everitt).

The curse is dead.

Murph: I agree, but worry a bit about his knee. Racking up the operations. Anyway, we need more than one creative half back. Options if injured?

Yeah great for club morale with 3 players wanting out ! Don't underestimate Eade's caginess in trade week.

One thing you have to admire about Rocket is his ability to attract good footballers to our club.

A far cry from Jade Rawlings who had to be dragged kicking & screaming & couldn't find the exit door quick enough.

Or such AFL royalty like Ben Holland refusing to play for us. Talk about dodge a bullet there.

Wish he had found it quicker.

Isn't Howard earmarked for HBF?

With Lake, Williams, Murphy, Morris, Wood, Hargrave and Gilbee we have 7 already to rotate into 6 spots, and I'm assuming Howard wont play at all in 2011 and only start to establish himself as a player in 2012.
This also excludes Tutt from calculations as well as whoever we draft & rookie this year.
