What about this guy...

 

 

He’s the one I’d be after if there’s even a sniff that he’d want to return home to Victoria 

Offer him Trac’s contract if need be (too soon?)

Should've just drafted him in the first place. Him and Anderson were always going to wind up the best players from that draft.

[DeeSpencer 26,080]

It’s either Andy Brayshaw now or we’ll wait for next year (at a minimum).

No way we move him for picks.

I received the following intel from a source close to the club but wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the matter

If Fremantle’s Hayden Young does ask the Dockers for a trade, it’s understood he wants to play for Melbourne. 

The Demons are fully aware of Young's desire to join them in the event he chooses to leave Fremantle. 
 

pass it on...

Who cares what Dane Swann thought of Pert? Has no bearing on anything. Just peddling scuttlebutt.

Sure thing champ. 
 

Playing group who played under CEO for almost a decade has an opinion on his leadership. Somehow that’s relevant because of…reasons?

That Swan and whoever anonymous else at Collingwood allegedly  didn't like Pert several years ago isn't relevant. As said. Champ.

He’s been in AFL management for 17 years. Somehow the playing groups opinion of his performance for the majority of that career (~10 years) isn’t relevant. 
 

Make that make sense.

Is that for real or just a swipe at how the media creates something out of nothing by starting a completely unfounded rumour?

What a perfect year of AFL football. There has never been a football of AFL like this football year of AFL. 

[demoncat 1,514]

Yikes… coming from his management

Hard not to see this happening if he’s still keen on a move come the trade period and we get a strong offer from Freo or WC

[KozzyCan 764]

Get the feeling this is his management leveraging the current situation for a contract renegotiation.

[ElDiablo14 5,002]

Wtf is all this BS.

So the man extends contract two months ago and now he wants to leave.

Amateur hour AFL, only here this could happen. Well maybe in the NBA too.

Why not? If Petracca goes there will be a 1m+ hole in the cap to be filled.

Viney leveraged an offer from North to get an extension with us only a couple of weeks ago.

One thing is to have a third party spreading rumours. But to have your own reps to go and offer your services to a rival club while under contract?

I really don't see an issue with it. Playing the field to see his worth. Club can always say no. Waterman is doing the same at the Eagles off the back of our interest.

Club has to pay 95% of the cap and players have to accept less so that all the stars can fit on the list. If the highest paid player goes and we're only recruiting from the draft then that extra money should be spread around the senior players.
