Perhaps, if Jordan McMahon does want to go back, but McGregor on his own wouldn't cut it.
Like other clubs give away good players for nothing
We get good trades cheap and keep high draft picks.
You can't have it both ways.

Tell me, at what age must a father son selection be made?
I guess I am asking if a kid didn't nominate for the draft until he was say 20 years of age.....can you take him under the father son rule?

Yes they do!
You said trade for the best available KPF and solid tough onballer.
How we going to get them? Do you think we can trade our discards for high picks or great players and clubs give them away for nothing?

A simply no would have been sufficient. No need to be rude and insulting.
I wasn't being rude or insulting. I said if Jordan McMahon wanted to go back to Adelaide I'd look at McGreggor but IMO McMahon would be worth more than McGreggor would.
If you want rude and insulting you should have seen me about 3.30pm on Sunday.
I hate settling for 2nd best. If we cant get either Hansen, Fev or Kosi then we should use our first pick to get a quality tall youngster. Getting a McGregor or Walsh would only hinder the developement to a young forward.
Having said that would Shultz be a good pick up? Played only 50% of the Essendon match and took 5 marks. I read on the Richmond board that he is a player that thrives on confidence so if we get that up he could provide a target down there until the new KPP are ready. Am i right in saying hes comming back from a big knee? That might have something to do with his confidence levels.
...i just contredicted myself didnt i?

personally borgy i would rather mcgregor over shultz, but like u if we cant get Hansen or Kosi (dont want fev at the club), then keep our first pick.
Id like to think we could pick either hendersen or mcevoy with pick 4/5.

Hey everyone i'm a long time bulldog supporter and follow then religiously.
I'm a long time big footy reader, first time blogger.
I also think that we should be going for the best instead of a quick fix in Shultz or McGregor like we tried with Rawlings, Doogs or even back to Minton-Connell.
And i also think that McMahon has to go he just shits me too much.
Cheers

Welcome. I have seen many attempted quick fixes in the KP department.
Bandy. (Could have had Hansen)
Jackovich (Could have had Hall)
Cook
M-Connell
McDougall
Phillipou
Rance
Parke
If the club is serious about landing a big fish,be fair dinkum and go after a big fish, i.e Kosi,Hansen and trade away,first pick and gun youngster otherwise draft talls and hope one or two step up like Everitt and Williams.

Amen to that. Curse James Cook cost us the grand final in 1998 i felt in that game against the roos.
But anyways we do need a Hansen and he's out of contract too. I thought i read back there someone wrote getting Daniel Bradshaw. That would be just as bad as a quick fix.
There was talk last season that we were keen on Bradshaw. He wouldnt have done the knee with us so could have been good value kicking goals and helping out in the backline.
You'd be talking about this thread on the Richmond board:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363862
There are some wildly conflicting opinions from Richmond supporters on this guy's worth, ranging from useless to future star FF of the AFL. The truth would lie somewhere in between.
I thought I was the only Dogs supporter on this forum who considered Schulz worth picking up. The key to smart trading is to get a player when they are at their lowest value. McDougall is a case in point. We looked at him 12 months before we got him, at a time when WC were expecting nothing less than a first-rounder. Come 12 months later, we virtually got him for nothing. He hasn't yet delivered on his potential but it represents smart trading.
Schulz is currently at that value. If he is not traded and has a strong season in 2008, his worth will skyrocket once again - he is only 22yo.
If you want value in excess of outlay, Schulz as a key forward and Jared Moore from Sydney as a grunt midfielder will offer such value.
Any talk centering on Fev or Charman is wasted talk. Demand far outweights supply, which leaves Carlton and Brisbane in the box seat. They will rightly expect the Earth and then some. I mentioned on another thread that if guys like Ted Richards and Darren Jolley can command first round picks, after having very average careers to that point, the sky is the limit for the likes of Fev and Charman. Bradshaw for a 3rd rounder? Please. He is a decorated premiership player. Brisbane won't give him up for anything less than a first-rounder, knee or otherwise. Not too many high profile trades work out well for the new team, and they have invariably paid over the odds because demand outweighs supply. Look no further than Rawlings - he had multiple suitors, so whichever team ended up getting him was always going to pay well over the odds. Unfortunately it was us on that occasion. The same will happen with Fev and especially Charman. There are 5 clubs with awful ruck divisions, all desperate for someone like Charman. It will be a Rawlings-like feeding frenzy.

i like it buy small sell big do we get schultz for a low price, and hope he comes on when he hit 23-26 and i like the idea of moore if we get them cheap them yeah maybe
Good post - should be stickied.
I've seen enough of Walsh at trainining and intra-clubs to be convinced he can play the game. He's improved each year he's been on the list and he'd had a fairly good preseason last year before his knee injury and was finally looking fit and strong.
We've put a heap of investment into this guy and injuries allowing his body is physically mature enough to make an impact next year. The lesson of Tiller's and William's 'sudden' impact at senior level is that we have to hold our nerve rather than continualy chasing quick fixes and projects that cant see properly/dont particularly like footy etc etc.
De-list Tim now and he might just end up at another club playing good footy through the PSD or ND and no club in their right mind are going to trade squat for him. Our best option is to get another preseason into him, treat him for his hamstring and get them stronger and see how he goes next year with (hopefully) less injury problems. If he shows nothing in footy terms next year delist him then.

i was just on the draft borad and got these two reports on the top kpp and ruck picks can we get both McEvoy at 4 and Henderson at 22?
id be happy with that
Lachie Henderson-196cm, 90kg-Geelong Falcons.(Fwd). Hard to line up this year because he has been injured and missed a lot of the season. Played some good footy last year and he was good around the ground and a good mark. Played pretty well in last years TAC Cup finals which pretty much has to be the guide as he has only played two games this year for the Falcons and I have only seen one of them. He has played in the ruck a bit so far but I don’t think he has the height or leap to be an AFL ruckman. His kicking is good for a big bloke. I am not really sure where he will go in the draft.
Pick 15 to 40
Ben McEvoy-199cm, 90kg-Murray Bushrangers. (Ruck, fwd) He has been on the radar for a while and has had good form this year. He was one of Country’s best performers during the champs playing in the ruck and up forward. He looks to have good endurance and moves around the ground well but he is not blessed with a lot of pace. His ruckwork is pretty good and he can read the play. His kicking skills are very good and he can take a good contested mark. He is the type of ruckman that can ruck for a good portion of the match. Where he goes in the draft will be interesting.
Pick 10 to 30

Henderson at 22!!! Be lucky to last until our first pick at 5. We will have to only choose one of them.
Sad news. Would it be to much to ask for a source?
The rumours of this have been around for 2 months. It's no surprise.
