Freo chasing Hogan kind of tells you how they see Taberner Not good enough pass I think
I don't have a strong opinion on Taberner, but no way Freo are gonna pass on a Hogan, even if they did rate Taberner highly.

No-one thinks 1 decent tall forward is enough. It's like saying Richmond don't rate Riewoldt because they're getting Lynch.
 
Who is the other team?

4 posts in a year? You should post more.

Pretty sure it will come out by tomorrow in the media. IF not, I can spill after 7:00pm tomorrow as a journalist told me and it's his story. He is in SA tv but is the back room source checker and not front line.
 
From Wingard's insta story I think we can take that he is looking away from port as if he intended to stay he would have taken that opportunity to reassure fans that he was not leaving, instead saying that we will "hear my side of the story when the time is right"

Hopefully that's standing next to Bevo.

Yep, agree. He wouldn’t need to explain his side of the story if he was staying.
****, I hope The Chad deal comes through !!

I totally see your point I just don't think Taberner had shown enough to warrant trading for. On board if we can another tall forward or just a good forward tall or small

For him to post that on the day of their b&f, you have to presume he's a long, long way from re-signing

Agree Also that all the speculation has done its job, I’ve got what I want but involved clubs need to get on the same page otherwise I’ll stay another year. Until then, I’ve become bored with all the chat so sit back and be patient.
 
I don't know much about Langdon, it surprises me that he would come at that cost. What's he like?
Has an amazing run on him, awesome tackler. Very quick with a decent kick on him. I feel that he'd fit our gameplan really well, basically complementing what we already have in Crozier and JJ

That said, he also fits Freo's gameplan really well too, so almost no chance we get him out of there unfortunately

'No doubt' the Bulldogs are keen on Chad
WESTERN Bulldogs list manager Sam Power has confirmed the club's interest in securing Port Adelaide star Chad Wingard.

Speculation has swirled that Wingard has been tempted by big money offers from the Bulldogs and several other Melbourne-based clubs ahead of next week's NAB AFL Trade Period.

The Dogs are looking to add some much-need firepower to help their poor conversion and goalkicking that's hampered them over the past few years and have identified the 25-year-old playmaker as a key target.

Speaking to AFL.com.au at the NAB AFL Draft Combine on Thursday, Power says Wingard is a player they'd like to complement their young list.

"There's no doubt we've got interest in Chad," Power said.

"There is a lot to play out and a lot of movement through the Trade Period, but we're always looking to improve our list.

"We definitely have some interest in Chad."

Port Adelaide football manager Chris Davies told NAB AFL Trade Radio on Thursday morning that Wingard was yet to seek move away from Alberton and the Dogs are also yet to get a clear indication on where the contracted forward wants to play his footy in 2019.

The Dogs are likely to dangle their first-round pick, currently selection six, as part of the deal to get the Power to trade them the two-time All Australian.

"Chad hasn't (told he wants to come to the club), but we've obviously signalled to his management he's a player of interest to us," Sam Power said.

WHEN DOES TRADE PERIOD START? All the key dates

While they're looking to bring in Wingard, Power says the club is keen to retain the services of midfielder Tom Liberatore.

The 25-year-old is resuming from a second knee reconstruction in his eight seasons at Whitten Oval, and talks with his management will ramp up following his return on the weekend from an overseas trip.

"All the talk has been really positive with 'Libba' and his manager Tom Williams, so we've had some good discussions over the course of the season," Power said.

"Tom's been overseas and only just recently returned, so we'll deal with that and work through that over the short-term, but we're really confident Tom will be at the Bulldogs next year."

INDICATIVE DRAFT ORDER Your club's picks

There's been no movement on a new contract for free agent Jordan Roughead, with Power saying he was yet to hear back from the premiership ruckman's management on a contract offer.

Power also confirmed Richmond forward Sam Lloyd had indicated to the Dogs that he wants to call the Kennel home next season.

"Sam, through his management, says he wants to come to the Bulldogs, which is fantastic," Power said.

"Now it's up to Richmond to tell us what a trade will look like.

"We definitely like to think (the trade will happen) because we think Sam is a player that would add to our list and we'd love him on our list for 2019."

WHO'S LEAVING YOUR CLUB? All the latest retirements and delistings

Power was "surprised" to hear second-year ruckman Tim English's name thrown around in trade speculation and says the West Australian is enjoying his time in Melbourne.

He also said the futures out-of-contract duo Mitch Honeychurch and Tom Campbell are unlikely to be sorted until after the Trade Period.
 
Does it matter? Take him at his word and see what happens. Some bloke you don’t know telling you his source, who you also don’t know. How does that add any validity?

You’re right, realistically it doesn’t. But, with so many people at this time of year with ‘reliable’ mail, it’d ease my mind and make it a lot easier to decipher who actually has mail when truth comes to fruition, and who’s just jumping on board and spreading garbage in the silly season.
