Agree Whitfield is overrated but still a very good player. Hayes was showing signs that the cliff has come.
I want Callaghan.

Dogs have some interest in Callaghan but zero chance the plastics give him up

If he remains uncontracted next year, who knows. Would cost alot

I mean next year. Happy to wait.

Cal Twomey saying the Giants would be open to conversations on Lachie Whitfield and Nick Haynes. He's probably on huge money, but I would love Whitfield on a wing for us, would be a huge get. Maybe can give back better draft capital for GWS to pay a little of the salary if it's too rich for us, but should have some cap space with Dunks going...

He's on almost a million a year and his last two years have been 'ok'.
Cost for benefit I'm not sure it works out.

Okay i've changed my mind though he was only on about 700-800k and we could potentially get him on 400-500k wouldn't go anywhere near him then

 

[adogsfan5]

Is there an updated Sammy Power interview ? Or just the same one from Monday?

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Whitfield is a gun. Has been down the last two years but who hasn’t at gws?

 

[Bulldogs85]

Seems we're just a bystander caught in the crossfire of a bust up between a club and an agent that represents a third of their list and that they're annoyed at for facilitating one of their players unexpectedly moving on a godfather deal.

The "since Logue is going we can't trade Lobb" stuff was a bit odd in how aggressive it was. I doubt they come out remotely that strong if Lobb and Logue have different agents. Will look a bit embarrassing if they end up trading him.

I find it funny if they kept him they would get sweet **** all for him next year.

There's no way we get Whitfield after we've pushed Lachie Hunter out the door for his off field behaviour

Contract and form aside, Whitfield had one incident awhile ago. And whilst i can't even speculate on what Hunter has gone through, i'm not sure they're comparable. Are we even pushing Hunter out or does he himself want a change of scenery? Power is on the record is saying Hunter hasn't requested a trade and expects he'll be at the club next year.

 

[doggies ftw]

if lobb doesn't happen then an English - Grundy pairing would be mega.

Having said that, if pies pay part of his salary we'd still be up for 700k per year until the end of 2027.

We’ve got the cash, Lobb will be on what 500k for the next two-three anyway you’d think.

It makes sooo much sense

Grundy/English is both a lot better in the ruck and better forward than English/Lobb plus has a good 5 years left. Would genuinely be a dream combo and would have us just about faves for the flag

Why aren’t we having a crack considering the price?? Sounds like Freo want more for Lobb than Pies want for Grundy.

No brainer

Boring day so far! Need more dogs rumours!

Hunter is GONE mate

Of course Sam Power's not going to say we're pushing him out the door it's negotiating 101 you don't show your hand otherwise the deal coming back will be less..

This pushing players out is going to bite the club on the ass with sweet FA likely coming in

Yay some middling draft picks?

The club is bigger than any player and if said player is bad for the club's culture then who do you think comes first?

Personally I think the club is being precious

If they want to take the choir boy route, Beveridge should go as well

Why? Hunters off field issues are well documented

Ever considered that sometimes it's the player that wants to go? If Hunter leaves, maybe it's because he wants a fresh start.

Anyway, your 'big' clubs can shrug of controversy and negativity publicity, not as easy for our club. We don't need it and the more we can do to minimise it, the better and that's whether we keep Hunter or not.

All clubs have to lose 3 or more players off their list every year. Unavoidable even if we wanted to.

News Corp can reveal the Lions were shopping pick 15 to rival clubs and have found a trade partner in the Giants, who will send them No.21 and a future second-round selection in return.

Can anyone post the article, or relevant parts ?

What’s the rationale on how this helps?

Interesting... Boy do I hope we aren't sending 21 to Freo for Lobb
