But Bullants coach David Teague said Lovett would be a welcome player at the Bullants if he "was willing to fit into the culture".

"At VFL level, he would be probably be the best player in the VFL,'' said Teague. ''It's getting harder to recruit these older players because money is getting thrown around at local level and the desire to play at this kind of level seems to have decreased from the older players.

"I would talk to the Carlton board if we were going to recruit him but I'd also to talk to our board at Preston before I'd even communicate to anyone concerning Lovett.

"There's a fair bit to go on beforehand but if we all thought it would be the best for our footy club, then we'd get him.''

I'd also to talk to our board at Preston before I'd even communicate to anyone concerning Lovett.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Lovett recruited from the Preston area ? Preston RSL rings a bell.
And did he play at Carlton as a top up player in our 2nds ?
Don't shoot.......... just asking.

:screwy:

How many crosses does Teague need against his name before he is moved on ?

Frankston seems right

Just reported on SEN...Bullants not interested...officially.

Thank God for that.

Relax - I guarantee the journo "spun" this. Probably asked him something about if AL would improve the team etc. and then spinning it and jumping to the headline that he would be welcome. Teague clearly said that this would have to be discussed by the boards before saying anything. The journo just construed the "specific" comments from general remarks.
You all know how the media makes a mole hill of nothing and don't care what somebody really said. Ever heard of "taken out of context"?
