There is the issue of attracting indigenous talent to the club, which was an issue in both Impey (Trengove's best mate) and Wingard not coming to the bulldogs.I tend to agree with MD this surely would not be the reason.
the reason any club pays over for a player wanted at is current club is simple, he won't come otherwise. Unless there are no other opportunities or they are limited elsewhere, to attract a player from another club you pay overs
Plus we have a bunch of NGA kids in the next two years who look very good, 'Marra at the top of that list.
It seems it's more about taking a holistic approach to recruitment, development and retention hence we have an indigenous liaison officer based in Ballarat.
