What? No way!
Pick 12 and Dunkley for Bruce?
Bruce isn't worth either of those by themselves let alone together.

Schache doesn't play like a KPF, he's a flanker in a tall body. We also have zero KPF depth right now.
Even if we bring in Bruce we may target Patrick Kerr as a DFA/late draft pick given we asked about him early in the season.
Played liked s**t all season. But in saying that he's not a KPF.What happened to Billy Gowers ? Seems to have fallen off a cliff big time.
He's 187cm, mid-sizer at best. Not a great kick either. Rumour that Hawks might be interested, where his dad playedWhat happened to Billy Gowers ? Seems to have fallen off a cliff big time.
Wouldn't even do pick 5 and Bruce for dunkley. Dunks is untouchablePick 12 and Dunkley for Bruce?

but it is about right for a bloke that the Dogs are chasing hard ...Pick 12 was already too much for a 28 year old who saints may be pushing out
Saints are desperate for picks between 5 and 55, so it's nowhere near absurd to suggest a second rounder of some descriptionbut it is about right for a bloke that the Dogs are chasing hard ...
we dont know the situation on why Bruce is on the trade table other than the fact that one day he wasnt then the next day he was and the dogs apparently had an offer on the table ready to go.... that to me suggests that either Bruce did something to annoy theclub that they want him out or the dogs want him bad enough it made St Kilda sit up and consider him a trade bait ... if its the first option then a late second gets it done, if its the first then pick 12 would be about right as it would need to be an offer to grab St Kilda's attention
I'd suggest the Dogs are more desperate for an established key forward for next season than StKilda are for a draft pick in the 30s like you are suggesting.Saints are desperate for picks between 5 and 55, so it's nowhere near absurd to suggest a second rounder of some description
Trading Bruce probably offsets a lot of the improvement we're going to make next year. Hes also a fan favourite. That's not worth Pick 30.I'd suggest the Dogs are more desperate for an established key forward for next season than StKilda are for a draft pick in the 30s like you are suggesting.
i dont think so ... if the saints were that desperate for a second rounder there are less popular players on the list that could be shipped out for a second round pick ... it was litterally one day Bruce wasnt even in consideration for trade then next theres interest ... that kind of responce historically doesnt happen for a secound round pick .. so its either the dogs have put something up very enticing or Bruce has done something to put St Kilda off side .. i just cant see the saints getting excited over a 2nd round pick for a guy we have on contract ...Saints are desperate for picks between 5 and 55, so it's nowhere near absurd to suggest a second rounder of some description
Exactly. Bruce is only worth trading if we are getting overs for him.Trading Bruce probably offsets a lot of the improvement we're going to make next year. Hes also a fan favourite. That's not worth Pick 30.
Suggest you read my response again... "of some description"I'd suggest the Dogs are more desperate for an established key forward for next season than StKilda are for a draft pick in the 30s like you are suggesting.
If only there were other uses for pick 12 than just sending it to Freo.Suggest you read my response again... "of some description"
Saints supporters have it in their heads that dogs want to trade pick 30 ... we have the ability to trade into very early second round as well
Pick 12 is not getting you Hill as much as some saints fans want that to happen
If 12 is part of the equation something is coming back, and not 55If only there were other uses for pick 12 than just sending it to Freo.
That would be very likely, probably a future pick.If 12 is part of the equation something is coming back, and not 55
Future picks aren’t worth a lot next year. Teams will be very wary although we might be one of the few teams that sees some value due to NGA and father/sons next year.That would be very likely, probably a future pick.
Your going nowhere with mckernan as your key forward. Bruce has kicked 50+ in a season and mckernan has kicked 67 in a 10 year career.kind of meant that if Bruce is worth 12 we may yet just get 4 and 8 for Daniher.
Not sure Bruce is enough of a point of difference to McKernan.
This thread:
Dogs fan: offers unders, Saints pushing him out.
Saints fan: wants overs, Bulldogs approaching a contracted player.
Rinse and repeat.
I'd say he is worth a first. In saying that, I can not see why St Kilda want to off-load him. He is a 2 goal a game forward if not more at best and with their incredibly thin forward stocks, it seems like a terrible move.
Putting a lot of pressure on Max King to play that role though considering his injury history. I guess that works though and honestly, seems good on paper that new forward line assuming Max plays to a similar standard of his brother.Probably need to play Ryder forward with Membrey and also M.King.
