Re: Dogs Keen on Jack Martin in Mini Draft
It has been reported this morning my Emma Quayle that GWS were happy to give us Martin for picks 5 + 6 but we werent prepared to do that, see here: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-new...008-279d5.html
Until the weekend, most clubs considered the Western Bulldogs, who had done a mountain of work on Martin, to be at the front of the queue. The Giants weren't interested in a deal floated by Richmond that would have involved their young midfielder, Dom Tyson, joining the Tigers, GWS getting the Dogs' first two picks - five and six - and the Dogs landing Martin, pick nine and possibly another player. GWS still wanted both the Dogs' picks and were happy to give them one back (No. 12, on its way from St Kilda) but that wasn't high enough for the Bulldogs. They'll go to the draft instead.
Hopefully that was the right decision. I am not sure how I feel about this, it will depend who we get with 5 + 6 but having pick 12 plus Martin isn't all that different from the 3 way deal that had been proposed where we got pick 9.
How do you feel about this?
