I was referring to the comments and rumours about players such as Jared Rivers, Matthew Bate, Bret Thornton, Lynden Dunn and the like. I've said a few times before that I wouldn't complain about getting Toy as long as he came for the right price. Casboult impresses me as a player but I've raised concerns about how we expect to keep about six talls on our list. Tyson is fantastic and I would love him at the 'Dogs, I just honestly can't see him leaving so have reserved my comments for when I hear more solid word that he's on the outer or wants out. I have no issue with these young players, I was referring to the recycling of fringe players to fill gaps.
There are a few suggesting that, but we have a limited amount of picks and a lot of rumours floating around, so we potentially could end up trading one or two of them. I don't think we will, but I hope we don't. Hence my "please don't do anything stupid" remark. I'm a passionate Bulldogs supporter and I don't want to watch us pick up players to plug the hole and guarantee us a run in the midfield for a while like we have tried to for the past 20 or so years. I'm not against trading, not at all, in fact I'd give up 6 for Tyson if there were legs to the rumours, and I'd gladly give a third rounder for Toy, and potentially a second rounder for Casboult (if we were sure we could fit him in) if any of them wanted to be here - I'm against trading for fringe players from other sides when we're in this sort of rebuilding phase.
