Apparently Ben King to sign a contract extension tomorrow
Tony Cochrane's step son on TwitterWhere is that one being posted? Been trying to find the source of the news
THE WESTERN Bulldogs remain unwilling to include their top draft selection – No.13 – in any negotiations for potential incoming bookends Josh Bruce and Alex Keath.
Bruce's worth is a polarising discussion, and St Kilda football boss Simon Lethlean told reporters on the opening day of the Telstra AFL Trade Period that pick 32 was not "appropriate" for him.
The problem is the Dogs' sole selection before that is 13, which they believe is too much for the 27-year-old key forward, who's kicked 36 or more goals in four of the past five seasons.
They are also reluctant to part with a future first- or second-round pick, because their Next Generation Academy prospect Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, a tall forward, is a possible top-five choice next year.
The Dogs think their No.45 pick is about right for Keath, an offer the Crows greeted with the same resistance as St Kilda with Bruce.
Part of that is based on the fact Brisbane last year sent No.32 and a future third-round selection to the Bulldogs for defender Marcus Adams, who is 18 months younger than Keath.
One solution that could be beneficial for all three clubs is for the Dogs to send 13, 32 and 53 to Adelaide for 23, 28 and Keath, a deal that values him just shy of pick 34 on the AFL Draft Value Index.
It would be closer to what the Crows want for Keath and they'd suddenly have a second first-round pick to accelerate their rebuild.
The Bulldogs could then present 28 to the Saints for Bruce, and St Kilda could flip that selection to Sydney for Jones.
Alternatively, all four teams could be involved in the one trade – but it all depends on the Western Bulldogs budging.
Hope it's true. Not good for an even competition to have elite talent just leaking from the club constantly. With Rankine and now King re-signing, hopefully its a sign that things are starting to turn aroundTony Cochrane's step son on Twitter
Apparently he is never wrong on GC news

Sorry but no way McLean is NOT depth. he has as really good future at the dogs.If McLean is ‘depth’ then we’re in a frigging good position. It wasn’t so long ago that he was being touted as a potential star. He’s been moved around a bit and his form has suffered. At 23 years old he is still young enough to improve. Maybe I’m biased and sentimental but I’d be gutted if we moved him on. The lad is a Dog through and through.
That double negative has thrown me. I can’t tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me.Sorry but no way McLean is NOT depth. he has as really good future at the dogs.

Lloyd nearly as salty about NGA as he is about Daniher. Can't believe two top ten picks seems the accepted price for a broken down player accompanied by the strange media 'silence' on the reasons for leaving. The only comparison for Danihers reasons for leaving being made is with Buddy who was shown later to have mental health issues.Lloyd very salty about the academies. Don’t understand his angst. Surely if 17 of the academy kids lined up in the Grand Final curtain raiser it means the academies are doing what they are meant to do? I get that it compromises the 2020 draft but perhaps it’s just a case that Essendon don’t have a descent academy kid.

3 years left.. 2 year extensionBen King signed 3 yr extension.
What does this mean for the Saints?!
That's crap - we could get St Kilda's pick 18 with 13 and another pick, then trade up our third rounders to get a 2nd rounder for Keath.Lloyd went with this as strong mail:
13,32,51
For
Keath,23,28
Then 28 for Bruce
For me it really comes down to if they think their target will be there at 13 or not

Seems like overs to me & contrary to Power saying we won't trade our 1st pick.

It means they’ll be asking for 2 first rounders when Max requests a move to Gold Coast in next year’s trade period.Ben King signed 3 yr extension.

Over values Keath IMO as 13 is worth more than the points (in a practical/real world sense).Lloyd went with this as strong mail:
