Rookie.

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

might be able to shuffle a fringe player on to the rookie list though to open a place for a draft pick.
Someone like DJerka

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Having no idea about contracts but another serious injury might be the end of SHaggy and I think the end will come quickly to Gia and Cross when it comes (if that makes any sense).

Happy to be shouted down on these but we need to transition a little from the core of 1982 born players in steps over the next couple of years.

Also Higgins might be tradeable

Don't be too sure — 1982 was a very good year…

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Didn't Grant sign an extension last year?

Do contracts mean much ?
Clubs, players and managers do deals.
If a club doesnt want you or you dont want to play at a club anymore, deals are done.

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Yeah, let's trade off Higgins and Grant while we're still struggling for a forward line.

Maybe for you it was as you were born, the dogs were crap!

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Its a stretch to name 4

1) Mulligan
2) Hooper
3) Gilbee
4) Moles

I don't think that is a stretch at all.

5) DJ
6) Addison
7) Vez

We have a heap of fringe players who have had a while in the system and may be looking at the chop sooner than many believe. Big year for

8) Cordy
9) Markovic
10) Skinner

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

I rate the kid, but Tom Hill wouldn't want another big injury either.

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

yep and neither would Shaggy or Morris

[Throughandthrough]

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Rookie.

Not a good year to be in the final year of your Rookie contract either.

Morris? Even if Morris doesn't play this year he will be around in 2013, no doubt about it.

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

NO chance we will get rid of Grant he has showed this pre season that he works hard.

Mulligan
Hooper
Gilbee - although hope he gets a few games this year
Moles
Hargrave may retire which would make 5 although we all love Shaggy and would love for him to stay another year

Skinner from last year has stepped up and would not want to risk trading him as he could be a very exciting player (Already is imo)

Markovic is solid down back and would have him in the side even with a morris fit or a williams fit. Watch him against Geelong and you will see how well he tiemd his tackles ect was very solid in the back and looks more aggresive. Think he will have a great year

Yeah, let's trade off Higgins and Grant while we're still struggling for a forward line.

We'd trade both in a heartbeat if we picked up a buddy equivalent coming up the ranks. Would you trade them for Patton? My only point being nearly everything is on the table all the time and it's a good time to do it if we we're going to IMO.

Re: Dogs Trigger Ward/Reid Compo Picks

Trading Grant and Higgins out right now would be pretty disastrous IMO.

Higgins, irrespective of whether you think he chases hard enough or is lazy is still good for 1.5 goals a game and can rotate through the midfield. And Grant is the only person on our list that has managed to kick six goals in a game, and should be good for a couple consistently if played on the full forward line. He is only 22 and still has some time on his side to prove he can hold down a major role in our forward line.

If they both have seasons that our club thinks are not at an acceptable level to remain on our list, then what would their trade value be? What type of picks (remembering we'll have five in the first three rounds) would they command? Why would a club give up a decent draft pick or a decent player for either of them, if we don't think they're good enough for us?

In a season where we're worried about kicking a winning score we're already talking about trading out the only players other than Gia and Jones that look like being capable of slotting a few on a regular basis.

If they have good years they'll stay. If they have crap years we'll get nothing for them that's likely to improve us.

We have more than a few other players who are likely to slot goals. Tutt, Dahlhaus, Cordy, Campbell, Griffen, Skinner. I think all these players can make a regular contribution if given the chance in the position sense.
