Pick Number 5
Despite the fact that it may be traded, does anyone have any thoughts on who we will draft with this pick?
Lachlan Henderson seems to be thrown up a fair bit as a potential pick for us. Does anyone know much about him?

Just my thoughts on a few options.
The easy ones:
Baird- Delist
Faulkner- Delist
D-Mac- Delist
Walsh Delist
(Street- MAYBE DELIST) we have no other established ruckmen though.
don't think there are too many arguments there. Along with Darcy & Robbins, i'd say those guys would make up our mandatory list changes.
Trade:
The following players are all logically, given the right deal tradeable. I'm not suggesting it should be the case for all of them, but i would be surprised if a few weren't.
Gia
Hahn
McMahon
Skipper
Ray
Power
These guys could all be involved in trades to lure key position players and ruckmen. Areas that we severely lack.
Players we need to chase:
Darren Jolly
Ashley Hansen
Brendan Fevola
Mark Blake
Jarryd Roughead
Cameron Wood
there are many more. I listed these guys because they are theoretically gettable.
Ashley Hansen is the one i really want though. I would trade, anyone of my above listed players, and a first round draft pick for him.
Thoughts?

Why in your right mind would you even think about trading Mitch Hahn. One of the few hard bodied players that we have at the club who'll be even better next year.

Re: Trade & Delist & Recruit
hahn also will be better next year and he is what we need should stay
skipper and power may have saved themselfs in the last month
as for trades my 1 and 2 are fev and charman both will improve our list, and thats important we cant just go out for any big bloke
charman will be our number 1 ruckman is the right age and can play forward
as for fev we have tiller and that maybe the way 2 go if we can't get him.
so charman would be my first option.
i dont really wanna see any player go, but if McMahon and ray wanna go home we should seek draft picks and there is nothing to say we shouldn't get 2-3 good picks for them and should be looking at 2 first rd picks
unlike many doggie fans i think gia will be our next captain, so shouldn't be traded and he will be fitter and better next year

I know nothing, but draft thread I read says a bit slow - not really great for a key forward, if true.
geez, I want a tall that has footy nouse - the difference between an everitt and a williams, even though they are both athletic and mobile.

Re: Trade & Delist & Recruit
Hey Guys,
I agree with the Ashley hansen suggestion,
talk is from one of the retired bulldogs players who played golf on the weekend with one of my work collegues.
That Hansen wants to come home
and Ray wants to go home
Talk is West Coast would ask for Ray and a 2nd or 3rd round pick
what do you guys think?

After watching him yesterday play exclusively as a key forward, if I had the first pick - let alone the 5th pick - I would be thinking long and hard about what to do. I (and I understand I am in the minority) am not convinced Kreuzer will be a dominant AFL ruckman - as a forward (and he can play there) I am not sure he will be better than McEvoy who showed good pace and agility...as well as good hands and the ability to kick it very straight.
Much more impressed than I was at carnival time or when I saw him earlier this year.

So in your opinion are we better off taking McEvoy knowing he can ruck a bit than going with Henderson who everyone thinks will fit what we need. Is it fair to say that McEvoy has gone passed him since he has been played predominantly forward. How do these two compare?? cheers for your thoughts
I haven't seen enough of Henderson to do a valid comparison. In the recent 'Phantom Draft', he was picked on my behalf as I was not around that week...Basically, I was very impressed with McEvoy on the weekend and compare him favorably with Matt Kruezer as a forward option.
Would have thought Richmond and Melbourne would both be interested. Carlton you would assume will take Kruezer and a mid. But both Tiges and Dees need KPP and rucks...
Richmond need a ruck, but not really a KPP - Richo (ok, old) Polak, Reidwolt, Hughes... they have a few.
