CibbuanoScott Welsh becomes a Bulldog
November 15th 2007 23:45
As speculated Scott Welsh has indeed left the Crows and now looks set to join the bulldogs.
However both parties will have to wait till the preseason draft to see if Welsh makes it through.
In order for Welsh to be a Bulldog they need to hope Carlton, Richmond and Melbourne all decide to pass on the 28 year old premiership player.
Richmond look set to take Guy Richards with its pick, while Melbourne are looking towards youth instead of established players.
The Dogs offered Welsh a two year deal, something Adelaide did not want to do considering Welsh’s off field behavior and recent injury problem.
The Bulldogs entered last month’s trade period looking for a forward, and targeted Russell Robertson.
However once Robertson committed to the Demons the Dogs shifted their sites to watching Welsh’s negotiations.
The attempt to sign a key forward comes after failed attempts to draft key forwards in the national draft.
He is a four-time club leading goalkicker at Adelaide, and has a habit of wreaking havoc against the Dogs, kicking 20 goals in his last six outings against them, including a bag of seven in 2004.
Welsh’s career includes 165 games and 300 goals.
