The Western Bulldogs have confirmed the rumours regarding Cameron Faulkner and Shane Birss. They are ready to play AFL but the Bulldogs are so loaded with similar-sized players that they won't be getting many senior games. So the Bulldogs will see what they can return in trade and that way the players will have a chance to play more with a new team.
The Bulldogs are still working out some minor details of the Akermanis trade, and a draft pick acquired from a trade of Faulkner or Birss could be part of that deal. The Bulldogs have also said they would like to trade for West Coast's Andrew McDougall, although Faulkner and Birss may not interest the Eagles.
There might be a spot for Faulkner with the Port Power, although they are also in trade talks with Carlton for Jordan Russell. Birss is still young, but has some experience at AFL level with over 50 games played. He would be a welcome addition to most teams.
The Bulldogs have not announced anything official about Akermanis, but when asked about the pick being a 2nd rounder a club official said that was probably correct.
