Re: Bulldog Only Trade News 2021

If Pies cough up more for Krueger than Lipinski, we’ll officially have been bent over.

Carlton are going to pay more for Young as well.

Young is out of contract
Carlton can pick him up in the psd

That would be very high risk wouldn't it, with a few teams ahead of them, including Adelaide who may decide to nab him first.

Tom Morris reports ...


Hawthorn tall Tim O’Brien is set to join the Western Bulldogs as an unrestricted free agent on a multi-year deal.

O’Brien has spoken via zoom with Luke Beveridge, who was his first line coach at Hawthorn, and is set to play as a key defender for them in 2022.

Port Adelaide showed interest in O’Brien and spoke to him as well, but would have used the 27-year-old as a depth player.

The Dogs see O’Brien as a likely best 22 starter alongside Alex Keath in defence.

Nothing has been signed yet, though Port and Hawthorn sources expect O’Brien to join the Dogs in the coming days.

As an unrestricted free agent, the Hawks compensation will be minimal.

Yeah, not a fan of this move. Apart from the last few weeks of the 2021 season and that mark what has he actually done? Is he quick? Has he got a good leap? What makes this pick-up put us in better shape than this year?

Yes and yes but he's seen as an inconsistent player who has never reached his potential. He's cheap as well it's worth a shot for sure. He replaces Wood. Keath / Gards / O'Brien.

Re: Bulldog Only Trade News 2021

We need a ruckman and a straight swap for Lippa seems like a good deal. Lippa has played 56 games, has done five preseasons and can play. Lynch is tall and mobile and has played 2 games. It's a fair enough deal.

Yep … straight swap. No picks or pick swaps.

Same as Lippa.

If Sweet goes it needs to be Lynch or Ceglar.

I would go for both

I don't see a lot of risk in it. I'll try and have a look at some of his games this year.

I didn't know our mastermind was a player manager.

YOUNG TO BLUES WILL BE DONE TODAY: MANAGER

8.33am: Player manager Peter Rohde is confident his client Lewis Young will become a Blue as soon as today.

The Bulldog has been on Carlton's radar for some time, having starred in a VFL game played between the two clubs earlier this year.

"They've already pretty much agreed on a pick, but the Bulldogs are doing a few movements with their picks beforehand," Rohde told Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio.

"I think they've got a couple of ways to get it done. Hopefully it stays clear of any involvement of other deals but it'll all progress through today. I'm confident by the end of today, Lewis will find his way to Carlton.

"I think [Carlton] will shuffle some picks around. I also think they're likely to get something back for (Sam) Petrevski-Seton, so it might involve that pick. I think somewhere between (Carlton's current picks of 25 and 64), I think he was 49 when he was drafted. He's played 20-odd games in four years, so he's probably still got around that value."

Rohde said the Blues see Young as a key defender, having been thrown into the ruck at times by Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge.

Quote from Rhode:

'Lewis sees himself as a key defender. The Bulldogs have plenty of them and Carlton have a need there, so Lewis sees himself settling in the backline.'

I rate Young chances of becoming a decent senior level footballer and it's a shame he isn't willing to fight for that with us.
Perhaps a few more points will come our way or something extra for next year.

Good luck to Lewy.
