Believe the port-wc-gws deal for ebert-cornes-brogan might've been done without the Dogs, who weren't happy with the pick offered for Hill.

So what pick have the dogs gotten? It's just our pick 45 right?

Good news?

Would rather a player like Young for a second rounder than Hill.

Young has genuine talent and a great boot.

His stocks have just tanked though, due to injury and a raft of similar players vying his place in Hawthorns 22.

Give him a fresh start at a new club, could be a great bargain acquisition, the exact kind we seem to avoid.
Manchester United & Melbourne Heart
Melbourne Storm & Melbourne Rebels

We would need to trade a player if we were going for Young.

Don't mind the idea but we don't really have anyone they would be interested in, other than Mitch Brown. That is obviously overs though.

Unless the club would consider ontrading 28?

Is 28 too much though, it is hard to guess Young's value.

If the WB have rejected pick 45 (assuming we offered it), then surely they are after 28? Ridiculous if true.

Otherwise they have been offered 49, but want our 45 instead. If this is the case, I wonder if WC would be better off keeping the pick. Is there a WAFL player like Gilligan that would be a better get with our 2nd rounder.

If we don't trade for Hill I wonder if the WB will try to low ball him on an offer that will see him slip into the draft/PSD.

Either way, reckon he will be playing WAFL in 2013.

Where does Young fit in though. I like him but we have a surplus in HBF's.

He isn't a HBF. He fits into the wing, also suited to play HFF and did so regularly for Hawthorn. Would give us a fair bit of flexibility with the likes of Smith.

Ok. Which one do you want to replace? Gaff, Rosa or Embley.

Well I'm not going to put down Embley but he probably only has one year left in him anyways. Could also slot into the recently vacated HFF at the very least and provide depth in that area. With Houlihan and presumably Dalziell on the way out we could use some depth on the wing. In terms of cost versus potential, Clinton Young is an absolute steal.

If he says fit he has more to offer than Rosa anyways. A lot of people forget that he is only 25. Did you watch the 2008 grand final and the havoc he caused Geelong in the first half? He has got serious potential.
