Latest rumour on SEN from a Bulldog supporter "in the know" - Patrick Bowden for a pick.

Wow, goodie etc......


4th round I hope 


Actually it may not be that bad because I reckon he'll be cheaper this year than last year

i agree wp, and i believe p bowden tanked it this yr to get out of flavour with eade, last yr eade said he was off limits!!!! now they would be happy esp bec of his poor efforts this yr!

LOL WP. You're psychic . The Doggies apparently asked for a 4th round pick.

In other news, Tivs may be heading off to the Roos.

Kangaroos are topping up big time!

Give them 3-5 years and they will be at the bottom of the ladder!

Too right Razor.

Laidley went to the Geischen/Frawley school of recruiting. If this Hay deal goes through they'll again give up their first 2 picks after Nathan Thompson last year. Apart from Jesse Smith they will have not picked up any top kids in 2 years. Recruiting suicide! The Roos will be in the same mess as we were/are with a big hole in their list. 

At the other end of madness the Hawks are trying to become a AFL U21's side if they trade away both Hay and Everitt. Sheesh they'll have picks 3,6,13,14 and 29 plus whatever they get from Sydney for Everitt! If their fanatical youth policy comes off Clarkson will be labelled a genius but I'm not sure how their kids ae meant to learn good footy habits getting pumped by 10 goals every single week. Seems the Hawks are going to tank 2006 to deliberately get a priority pick for the third year in a row .

Laidley seems to have that small time mentality that the Roos cannot afford to bottom out or they risk losing ground on the rest of the comp.  They are backed by the AFL, so I’m not sure why the panic stations and there’s more chance of them going backwards the way they’re going about things anyway.  Not that they’ve woken up to that yet, MT.

There are mixed messages coming out of Hawthorn.  On one hand they’re trying to develop a good environment and culture for the players and on the other they seem to disenfranchise any player over the age of 23.   Seems a bizarre way to go about developing a list.

hawks are stuffed, u cant develop young kids without experienced guys around them setting an example and leading teh way, a team cant be lop sided either way u need balance, basically and ideally every yr 2-4 players leave and 2-4 will come in without disrupting team balance and make up,

but the hawks , and roos both have no idea from one extreme to another. 1st well done to the haks 2 first rnd picks 4 a dud in my book, and the roos gave up 2 1st rnd picks 4 this dud!  now there is no guarantee the 2 kids the hawks may pick up will develop, history shows not all draft picks actually become champions

[Razorblade]

Yeah but when you have as many as the Hawks do, you are almost guaranteed to get a champion or two out of them!

in idea who 4 mt, or is it part of a 4 way 5 way deal to get fev???

Don't know who for X. As a guess a pick or maybe a Daniel Harris or Hamish McIntosh?

[Razorblade]

Harris or McIntosh would cost a lot more then Tivs.

Apparently Harris and Laidley don't get along though, so who knows!

[mightytiges]

Although delistings aren't finalised yet, who do guys think we will now go after in the PSD?

The Bombers want Scott Camporeale while the Hawks probably will go after a ruckman or full back. That would leave only the Blues and Pies' picks ahead of us.

Some of the names talk about:

Shane Woewodin
Brett Montgomery
Brayden Shaw
Daniel Gilmore (according to 6PR on BF)
Kasey Green
Travis Gaspar
Dylan McLaren
Beau McDonald

Troy Selwood and Matthew Lappin look like staying put at their respective clubs.

[WilliamPowell]

Brayden Shaw

It is in one of today's papers - Shaw is going to the pre-season with Melbounre in the hope of being drafted by them

[Jackstar]

Add Cupido and Alvey to that list

I've heard that aswell, also saw it on bigfooty.

[PuntRdRoar]

Gilmore or Green for us
