3 Changes not 4, can't count rookie list.

Link The Western Bulldogs have confirmed that
Kieran Collins and Nathan Mullenger-McHugh have not been offered contracts for the 2019 season.
Collins spent three years at the Bulldogs after being a second-round selection in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft, and played his sole game for the Club in Round 9, 2016.
Mullenger-McHugh has been on the Bulldogs’ rookie list for the past two seasons and represented the Club’s VFL team Footscray 37 times, booting 19 goals.
“We’d like to thank Kieran and Nathan for their hard work and commitment during their time at the Western Bulldogs, and we wish them all the best for the future,” said the Club’s General Manager of List and Recruiting, Sam Power.
The Bulldogs have made four changes to their 2018 playing list at this stage, following the retirements of
Clay Smith and Shane Biggs.

Why not, it's still a change to the overall list.

Fair call by the club. We seem to have reasonable depth in defence thus Collins seems surplus to our needs (although i just noticed BAD's post noting the rumour regarding Adams - hopefully it is just that).

After our swap of pick 11 with Carlton for pick 20 and 21 a few years ago, it is now a straight swap of Charlie Curnow for Dunkley.
We got a little too cute with that trade in hindsight. Very glad we nailed the Dunkley pick.
Also interesting that easily the best full-backs in that TAC year were Weitering and Collins, and both have really struggled to develop at senior level. Shows just how good Naughton has been this year.

All due to stupid rule changes in TAC :D
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
What a bust the Collins selection was.
Thank *!*!*!*! Dunkley looks like a 200+ gamer.

Apart from a slick piece of PR by the club after the draft this trade has been shocking from inception. No need for hindsight.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Still no word re Redpath. Exit interviews today so you'd expect to hear confirmation or not on his retirement

Caleb Daniel would have to have some appeal.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Disappointing to blow an earlyish pick on Collins. He never really looked like it if we're honest. Slow athletically and slower by mind, he never stood a chance. Pretty ordinary recruiting.

We are all experts in hindsight
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
I can still see the rationale in doing what we did at the time, if Curnow hadn't turned out the way he has we'd probably still be fine with taking the chance.
Not sure if Curnow was even on our radar, however.
Hopefully Dunks maintains and improves on his form. If he does, and turns into an out and out A-grade player which he has the potential to do then it won't hurt as much.

Yeah. Every team gets some wrong. We picked pretty well during the period, but Collins didn't work out unfortunately.
