The Dedication squad is getting closer to its final lineup with the announcement today that Kalaan Schroeder has been traded to a Bendigo based side for this years tournament. Whilst details are sketchy, it is rumoured that Dedication received a seven-figure sum for the star all-rounder. Bitterness is already becoming apparent amongst the rest of the Dedication squad, with 2006 MDP winner Joel McMahon vowing to "practice his bouncers" in preparation for playing against Schroeder. With 12 players left in the squad, Schroeder's friend and rumoured lover Chris Hope is the favourite to be the last to be cut.
