Exactly! Go through the history books and they'll tell you that your "perfect world" marquee players in their prime generally aren't going to go anywhere. You'll either land an elite player when they're getting on in years, or you'll get someone with other question marks hanging over him. The Judd type trades are once in a blue moon stuff, and as we saw Griffen re-signed today.
Never been a fan of Andrew Walker, but these are the sorts of propositions you're going to be confronted with. Someone with a history, but perhaps the potential to step it up in a new environment. The club's gotta decide who's most worth the punt. Not sure about this particular one though tbh. Wish we had gone after Russell when he was available.

For Griffin?!
Yeah you ARE dreaming!
I was thinking maybe a pick with Griffin to sweeten the deal?
No they didn't sorry. Just mentioned WC were interested.

Western Bulldogs - Christian Howard/Mark Austin 2012 Player Sponsor
This year the Dogs have played 14 players with less the 50 games and 7 of those players less than 10 games. Still made top 4
Our 1st round picks from 08 and 09 yet to debut.
2 father sons in the up and coming 2010 Draft.
Our VFL affiliate team Williamstown and Willi 2nd's both finished the Home and Away Season on top of the ladder, both are straight through to the Prelim.
So we have plenty of depth, thanks for asking any way.

Agree you rarely going to get a player who another club is not willing to keep. For mine need to look at those that not getting games at current club are on the fringes and therefore obviously need development.
A suggestion for half bank flanker could be Jarrod Atkinson of Essendon not sure what happened to him in 2nd half season but saw him play against the bulldogs round 10 and I was impressed.
Certainly Djerrkura would be another to fit criteria of looking for greater opportunity elsewhere and certainly would add to our forward pressure. Would also look at someone of Gary Moss type who struggles to get a game yet has showed talent.
Nic Nat has 4 months out coming up due to shoulder surgery.
They just delisted their other back up Will Sullivan.
Seaby gone last year.
If Cox goes down, they're screwed
Seriously? For Hurn. From the huge TWO days I've discussed trades with you I think I can safely say you do not put enough value on draft picks. Wouldn't even ponder letting go of the oppurtunity to snap up a Polec or Lamb for Hurn for one second.Unless its pick 14 then its not going to work unfortunately!
I like Walker. It's hard to figure out what they would want from him. He's obviously very talented and a former first-rounder and Carlton see that, but going on their selection moves and his injury history...
It's a tough one. Anybody want to have a stab at what we would have to give up?
Knowing Rendell, and how he generally has a few abstract ratings in his first round (ie Danger at 3 and Davis at 2), we'd probably pick up the same player with pick 8 as we would pick 14, or else probably the next one on the list. Not really worth it IMO, would rather work something out where we get Essendon's pick 8, we keep pick 14 and they keep Stanton.

Good luck with your VFL premiership. You'll have a matching pair of irelevant spitoons.

Between these kids and your 27+ year olds what is there though?
Hill? Higgins? Minson? Williams?
Don't WB posters spent half their time bagging these guys and talking about how crap/disappointing they are?
Harbrow? Oh well.
You've got a classic Adelaide list. Some nice kids, some classy oldies and some meh in between.
These guys are a fair way off having any sort of impact. And the point is - and this is where the AFC has battled - once these 'fingers crossed they'll be guns' are ready to strut their stuff in a meaningful way that entire list of 27+ year olds I listed above will be gone. It doesn't matter how good your kids are, they won't be able to pick up that level of slack. As we have found out only too well.
Sorry, do any AFL clubs give a stuff about where their affiliate team finishes? Is it a good indicator of future output? If there are good young players running around for Williamston you have a 1/17 chance to grab them, don't see how that helps you. And your listed players who are running around for Williamston aren't good enough to kick Eagleton or Hahn out of the 22 so let's not fall into the trap of judging their ability too highly.
Look, you don't, that's the issue. You've picked up a tiny handful of injuries (seriously you've only got Cooney and Morris missing from your best 22) yet that's enough to completely derail your entire finals chances.
There's depth and there's depth. You might have enough depth to allow you to keep your head above water in the minor round and that's commendable. We certainly didn't. But depth to knock off a decent team in September? I doubt it. Straight sets brewing.
Oh, we are. Don't worry about that.Worry about your own back yard

in terms of your Cordy and Howard your 2008 and 2009 first round picks, firstly there is always a risk in drafting talls early (Cordy) and lets be honest Howard was a smokey first round selection....
re your Father / Son selection, I am happy for you however these selections dont always prove to be a steal for a club
finally on VFL success, congrats on the Prelim, however your club is very good at making prelims
Alright come on lads, back on topic, who cares about the team from the 'elizabeth' of Victoria?
Stiffy, obviously you are a gun and we all respect you but I think Griffin and our second rounder could land Hurn.
I know Hurn was a first rounder, BUT I don't think he is currently worth a first rounder. Has shown patches, and will flourish here but I think our second rounder and Griffin would be a fair and equitable trade for all teams.

the rumours are that Tambling will walk from Richmond
some Tiger folks are suggesting a Trade to Adelaide for Knights
maybe we should look at Tambling, give hime the #23 jumper and get Macca on board to mentor him.

I will be upset if it goes to Petrenko that's for sure.
well, there are few teams in the comp that i don't mind seeing our players at, and Richmond are one of them. if Knights was to leave and join Collingwood, Carlton, St Kilda, Hawthorn, or Bulldogs, i would absolutely hate him!!!
No chance will we get Hurn for that, it would be trade of the past few trade weeks if we managed to pull that off. Hurn is in their leadership group, runner up in the b&f last year, great kick (something in which the Eagles lack) and he is turning 24 next season so he has heaps of good football ahead of him.
Turns the ball over to much. Rather have one of the following Palmer,Suban,Fyfe, Bollenhagen or Ibbotson.
Wtf mate? Petrenko can play, just been getting played out of position. Stick him on the half back flank and he'll gun it.
