		Rivers Extends Contract
		
		That's signings announced three days in a row. I wonder if it will be leading up to Viney's signature

		Tom McDonald
		
		It'd be great if TMac drops the weight but we can't just expect that to get him back to 2018 levels. With no Jesse, he won't be getting the 21ndbest defender like he was, but it may mean Weid gets off the chain a bit more. I think there is definitely room for TMac, Weid and Dogga Jackson in the team with Fritta playing higher up the ground.

		Any idea if it's an internal or external review? And which players were mentioned?

		Brayden Ham
		
		Apparently another Essendon player we are looking at, if he decides to leave. https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/api/v1/article/amp/afl/afl-trade-whispers-rumours-contracts-player-movement-adam-saad-brayden-ham-tom-morris-essendon/news-story/30ee4082f1c23fc9726681eb34d120c1?__twitter_impression=true

		Will be surprised if they go with 2 rucks. Think Max misses, as will Clarry

		WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
		
		Fine not suspended because of Spargo and Kosi earlier in the year. Reckon that might be curtains for Harley. Pert didn't pull any punches in the media release.

		Chad Wingard
		
		There you go. I'm still not sure they are in the space where they'll trade guys like that out.

		All of the trade speculation rests on Clarko finally acknowledging the club needs to rebuild, which he doesn't seem to. Graham Wright went on radio this afternoon seemingly shooting down any trade talk for gunston/Smith et al. And I'm more than happy to see them down the bottom in such a compromised draft

		Steven May All Australian?
		
		Vice captain if Viney leaves, maybe. They won't take the captaincy off Max

		Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
		
		Hey Red. In short, yes. But clubs have been reluctant to match and trade so far, presumably because they don't want to be stuck with a player that doesn't want to be there. Now, matching the bid and forcing a trade would be ruthless, but it could also backfire.

		Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
		
		The only problem is a mid 1st round pick is really an end of 1st in this draft. It's better than what we have but geez, this draft is just so compromised

		Dogs have been super flaky. Not sure Beveridge is the coach to bring any consistency

		Harley Bennell?
		
		Have read somewhere (can't remember where) that list cuts may be put off til 2022, just to help clubs that already have too many players contracted. Would make sense and still assist with cutting some of the running costs for clubs without unduly impacting clubs with contract payouts.
