Western Bulldogs captain and All-Australian midfielder Ryan Griffen will become a GIANT after a trade deal between the clubs today.

The GIANTS will receive Griffen as well as pick six in next month’s NAB AFL Draft in exchange for Tom Boyd.

The deal will be lodged with the AFL and Griffen will become a GIANT for the next four years.

I applaud the doggies. They wanted a kid with a big reputation and did what they had to do to get him. Well done to the doggies. :clapping

Yep a very good deal for Footscray

Heard Jon Ralph on SEN this morning. He and Kb were discussing our list and he mad the comment that clubs had been told Vickery was off limits

Cats get Stanley for pick 21. Will say it again it is staggering to me they didn't offer him up. We could have got a pick between 15 and 20 for him

And we didn't even bother trying... That's the thing that annoys the hell out of me. The fact it appears we haven't tried anything else outside Trengove.

Staggering

How can we just finish 8th and think that our list is ok to be competitive for top four? I understand peoples arguements with there is no point being active just to get spuds. But this year has proven contracts mean sweet f all ,so go  out and chase.
Early in the year they complained no leadership, go and get some one. Goddard was free agency but he'll has he made a difference at essendon with leadership.
Has really got me buggered that we have signed all last year players and not looking like to being any one over tomorrow.

Not preparing is preparing to fail. I hope I can come back here next September and eat my words.

We have nobody with the required level of leadership.

We have Chris Newman.

Are the Tiges happy just to go to the draft or are they doing a little bit of trade work?

Herald-Sun's Ben Higgins - Missed out on Trengove due to injury. Now to the draft.

Boyd will be on a 7 year deal on approximately 1 mill a season  :o.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Latest rumour - GWS will trade a combination of pick 4, 6 and 7 for St Kilda's Pick 1.

St Kilda expect McCartin to still be available at pick 4 whereas GWS wants Petracca.

1. GWS - Petracca
2. Melbourne - Wright ..... McCartin too similar to Hogan. Dees want a 200cm forward/ruck type.
3. Melbourne - Brayshaw
4. St Kilda - McCartin

----------------------------------------------------------------

Talk of ...

Bulldogs Liam Jones going to Carlton for pick 46.

Essendon offering Hardingham or Kavanagh up for Cooney.
