Why aren't we looking at:

Bugg
Townsend
Redden

Carlisle
Henderson
Tomlinson
Talia

Leuenberger
Redden
Smith

Honestly I'd even go so far as to throw the whole kitchen at Hogan. Tell him $1million/year for 8 years or something stupid.

How do you know we arent

I don't, but these are mostly high profile players and it's not often they get traded without any information leaking beforehand.

Do you have any knowledge to the contrary?

Henderson to Cats
Tomlinson to Blues

No point crying over things...we tried for treloar,Bennel,Hannebury..and we missed out for whatever reason..
Maybe for a second straight season we go to the draft and a few seasons down the track we have a smorgasboard of guns.
But then again trade week hasnt even started yet

Have to wonder what the issue is...

Nobody on this site knows all of the details involved in these trades or non-trades.  :P

Anybody with access to all of the relevant facts wouldn't dare post it in here anyway ...   :shh

“We have two needs that we have identified

— one a rebounding defender, which is hopefully (Carlton’s) Chris Yarran,

 and the other is an inside midfielder,” Tigers football boss Dan Richardson said on Friday.


“Ideally we would have liked to have got an elite mid like (Adam) Treloar, but that’s not going to happen.

 “You never say never, but the reality is we’ve been connected to everyone. Some of it’s true and some of it’s not. If we can bring those two players in we’ll be quite happy.”

The Tigers are not in the market for a ruckman and will back Ivan Maric and Shaun Hampson for another season.

“It’s probably something we’ve got to address over the next 12 to 18 months, but at this stage Ivan is obviously still our No.1 ruckman,” Tigers' boss Dan Richardson said.

“We brought Shaun in a couple of years ago to be that taller option. He’s had some injury and (issues with) durability, but he’s also showed signs here of improving. We need to back that in.”
