Rumour is we're really wanting to draft players we believe would be able to play next season

heard from JMac when talking to a scout/s

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Not sure if it counts as a rumour, but seeing as there haven't been any official announcements, I'm 99% sure that 'BLK' will be on our jumpers next year, not 'KooGa.' Regardless, it won't be KooGa. New guernseys and supporter wear are all being/will be produced, we should hear more about it soon.

Bellchambers is another I've heard, would be pretty pleased to get him.

Ive heard we are looking at swapping our pick 5 and a player (might be Wood) for GWS pick three to Grab Wright. like it as with him and say Foster and cordy, there is 3 KPP there plus we should have a mid 2nd Round draft pick with Higgins compo pick

All well and good.

What if Wright's gone by then?

Heard from someone in the know at Carlton, that Casboult is already at the Dogs. This source gets good mail, so we will see.
It is silly season I guess.

This is correct. Dogs have told Wright they want win and are willinging to trade to get a lower pick. This will not be shored up until the "expected" trade choices and finalised between recruiters. Obviously need to find a willing club yet Wright is our number 1.

Oh by the way, this is not a rumour, I work with Peter Wright's father, Norm. Eight Western bulldogs staff including Macca (first coach to visit) outlined there plans to the family last week. Let's hope all the cards fall into place.

And what are Peter (and his father's) thoughts on playing for WB? Any idea?

Good question, been pumping up the Dogs to Norm all year who is a Pies supporter by the way.

Happy with any Melbourne club yet would be very happy with the Dogs. Saints have also shown a lot of interest. He shot up with a fantastic game two weeks ago at CHF with 14 marks.
Was impressed that Macca actually visited, first coach to do so this early. Funny he prefers to be know as a forward who can ruck. Dogs where arguing his best position with half saying ruck, half saying forward at the meeting.

From now on, this thread will be locked. Myself, or one of the other mods will update it when new rumours are spoken about in the trade and list management thread. If you think we've missed one, let us know.

This is to avoid the same topics being discussed in two different threads, as well as using this thread as 3np intended it to be used.

Minson and Cooney will both be traded.

Jaksch was in Williamstown yesterday having coffee with McCartney tried to listen ....

Maybe Jaksch for pick 26

North also has had interest in out of favour Western Bulldogs forward Liam Jones, who booted five goals in the VFL grand final but who has struggled to cement a regular place in the senior side. Carlton and Port Adelaide are both understood to have expressed interest in the strong contested mark.

Channel 7 reporting Liam Jones has been asked to be traded to Carlton.

GWS young gun Kristian Jaksch has agreed to a 3 year deal offered by the Western Bulldogs to return home to Victoria.
