Say we were offering $750,000 to Hurley. Since then Minson, Stevens & Hrovat salaries are out the door to be replaced by rookie wages, Cloke is on a basic wage too. We've banked well over $1,000,000 in the cap. The EBA rise should be roughly known by now too. We should have the money to go after anyone we want to, and I hope we are, provided the salary is reasonable (ie. Lids on $800,000 is crazy).

Agreed and you've been going on about it for a while. I'm with you re. Fyfe and O'Meara but we may have played our cards too late due to the Hurley commitment. I'm interested in a few W.C players starting with Sheed.

He's a Perth kid who will get homesick. Liam Duggan is a Western Vic product. I think he must be homesick too...

Funnily enough your post has a ring of truth to it.

Fly the kid over. Get Bevo & Bob to pick him up and bring him back for a tour, get him to hold up the premiership cup, give him a good offer and see where it leads us.

Take him to Wongs, then supper over at Gordo's over canapes and a splash of Dom with the Grand Final on in the background then drive him down to his Mum's in Bacchus Marsh and tell him he'll be able to live at home if he wants to.

Worth a shot. Otherwise, maybe we hold onto Adams to save our defence next year. Especially if Hammer goes. And we let them know that.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Liam Duggin was a Bulldog supporter growing up. Has clean skills. He'd be the target if it comes to that.

Yeah they're in no rush though if they get him for nothing next year. They have coverage down back. I'd rather try for something meaningful now. Adams and Hamling are really pissing me off.
Re. Duggan I assume Doug was his former coach. May be worth a call.

Doug said in his draft year he was either the best or one of the best juniors he'd ever seen.
I want a return, but it may be only pick 34 and leave us with no KPD stocks next year. I'd rather have Adams in another attack at the premiership than pick 34 next year.

That said we just won one without him.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Players that insist on going home are contriving to affect the essence of the National draft declaring they will only play for one or two teams. If they insist on doung this these players should be banned for five years. That would stop them and cure their homesickness.

More so meaning if Hamling leaves too.

Kills competition in trading too. One team seemingly says yes, while the other team seemingly says no. And they seem to attract even lower trade value because of it. Not that's there's a conspiracy...

Yeah he's the key.
