I would like us to target Brodie Kemp from Carlton. I think he is going to be a very good 2nd KPD/CHB. He was drafted as a midfielder but keeps growing and is developing well, even in the dumpster fire that is Carltons (lack of) development program. He would be like a taller Williams and could in time handle bigger opponents.
He would be one of those buy low players and offering a better development program & opportunities for multiple flags, should be something to consider.

IF he was keen, I would be after him this year before he plays at AFL level and his price goes up.

Don’t think he’d be a ‘buy low’ player. Only 2 years removed from being a first round pick and only injury has stopped him getting on the park, mostly a serious injury that was known when he was drafted. I’m picking the asking price would be a pick around where he was drafted, so late first at least.

He’d actually be cheaper if he got on the park and did stuff all. Rightly or wrongly, first rounders with limited exposure due to injury still have that air of mystery and potential.

IF he wants out the price goes down. IF he is happy to stay there, then yes a first rounder would be the cost.

There is a young man Vande….can’t spell his surname who plays for Footscray( no. 70) 200cm, left footer and plays in back line. I like what I’ve seen on tv and would speculate on putting him on list or at worst rookie him. I think Darcy + raak / vander? would do nicely. Raak to replace woody and vander to maybe be replace a retirement / delisting.

Vander Heuvel I think

 

[Munnez]

They’re going to start playing him forward in the SANFL to try and get him going. He’s been pretty poor in the SANFL to date apparently.

Spudding it up to encourage Crows to let him go??

 

[willofwest]

Vander Heuvel I think

That’s him. Nice size , moves well and a leftie, he had a couple of good wins in one on one contests against swans in last vfl game during last quarter.

Five trade targets for EVERY club: Western Bulldogs

With an already stacked squad, who could Luke Beveridge lure to Whitten Oval?

Jake Carlisle isn't the worst suggestion.

His back is knackered isn’t it?

 

[Cudi]

Yeah I searched him after and didn't realise how bad it was.

Probably cross him off the list, and also Talia who would never come here.

Would not want. I remember Naughtys first year forward where Carlisle was roughing him up big time and the Saints beat us on a Sunday at Marvel. Have hated him since that day haha do not want him in a dogs jumper

It took you that long?

 

[mattwa]

Kelly and Durmen from that list would be good. Kelly would actually do well in our system I feel

Daniel Talia will never play for this club

 

[mattwa]

Na I always hated him just more so from that day. I literally followed him from the 3rd to the 4th quarter (switched seats) just to give him some more sprays (was very sauced up that day). I would have been like that bloke in Happy Gilmore just heckling him the whole game haha

 

[Mofra]

Jake Carlisle isn't the worst suggestion.

No, but would be a very close neighbour.
Bevo ruled a line through him on character grounds before he was cooked physically.

5 suggestions and not one ruckman in that article. I think we can take that with a massive grain of salt

 

[Philthy1]

I think we can also rule out Leinert. The article suggests "He could be a ready-made solution should any Doggies defenders not perform." Meaning he is a VFL player. Don't need anymore of them.

 

[Virgin Dog]

The fact they even bothered to mention Talia removes any credibility a list like this might have had.

Lienert would be a huge maybe if we got him absolutely dirt cheap, while Kelly I wouldn't mind, but again would want him cheap. Overall not the most inspiring list. It's like they forgot the ruck position exists

 

[Philthy1]

Kelly is only 189cm. Feel like we need someone taller - 195cm+

Not sure any of the ruckman on offer are any good. I think Timmy is pretty much ready with another off season in the gym and another pre season working with Steph/Kingy. He hasnt been an utter liability in the ruck this year I think his work has been far better than we expected. I cant think of anyone that I want from another team other than Mcevoy. The rest are garbage (Ceglar, Sinclair etc)

He plays taller but than that but I agree we need someone around that height

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Rather than anyone on that list, I would be keener on Van Der Heuvel or Glass-McCasker from Footscray.

VDH has looked good at times with Footscray and would surely benefit as a full time in an AFL system.

Glass-McCasker did have time at Carlton, but not many seem to develop there. He has shown great versatility at Footscray, forward, back and ruck.

Ladhams is the one for me. I know some character issues have been floated but I’m just about all in on him being our guy

If we had a mid season draft pick, I wonder if Van Der Heuvel would be on our list.

Yeah they're how I'd go if we were wanting key position depth. Most available players are either cooked, too expensive (money or trade requirements), undersized or unknowns. We might as well take a punt on a someone involved in our VFL team and see how either of the two go in our system as rookies ideally, if it works then awesome and if not then it wasn't a huge investment.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

I really like Kreuger as a player. Not sure he can stay on the paddock though, injury prone.

whats his height and weight?
