The Western Bulldogs’ General Manager of List and Recruiting Sam Power says the Club is maintaining an open-minded view as it enters the official NAB Trade Period.
The Bulldogs spent the day at Marvel Stadium with the other 17 clubs for day one of the Trade Period, which concludes on Wednesday, October 17.
“The first day is slightly different from what it used to be,” Power told westernbulldogs.com.au.
“Players used to have to meet with every club for 10 or 15 minutes, but a lot of those meetings now happen before the Trade Period actually starts these days.
“We’re obviously always looking to improve our list. We’re open to bringing players into the club, and we also want to maintain a strong draft position.”

Power addressed speculation around key defender Marcus Adams’ future, after the 25-year-old indicated his preferred new home was the Brisbane Lions.
“Over the weekend Marcus indicated that he would like to go to Brisbane,” he said.
“He’s still contracted for another two years, and he’s a player that we want to retain.
“At the moment, there’s no more detail to give on that one. We’re hoping he’ll be a Bulldog in 2019.”
Power also reaffirmed the Club’s interest in contracted Port Adelaide forward Chad Wingard, as well as Richmond’s Sam Lloyd.
“I mentioned last week that we’ve definitely got interest in Chad and we’ve signalled that to his management,” he said.
“Sam’s indicated through his management that he’d like to come to the Bulldogs, which is fantastic for us.
“It’s now a matter of sitting down with Richmond over the next 10 days and working through what a trade might look like.”
