Social media is the worst after a striking incident. The mania goes from 4 to 11

Might it be Dom Tyson on the proviso that he grows his hair out and gets a priddy perm? Can't possibly be one of our 'promising mids' unless it's Salem, ANB or Harmes. An inflated salary like that would mean we would need to remove a mid so it doesnt matter if UFA or RFA, trade would be made.

Hannebery cooked?

Just an idea, but maybe we could trade Garlett to North or any other club for one of their old age key backs like Scott Thompson, Grundy if they've got one or two years to give etc. Clubs who may need a small forward, we need a defender. Or at least pick up a free agent key defender. Edit: Steven May seems like a really outside shot at coming here tbh

You'll deserve a rivet lager for winning that bet. I'm not in Aus so someone will have to do the honors

Which KPD's do you have in mind and what kind of trade/price range are you thinking? Steven May is obviously ideal but could be out of our league and unavailable anyway.

Re Skills, so an improvement on everyone except Oliver, Salem & Fritsch?

if we do have to match (Like Danger did for Adelaide) I wonder if we can throw Perth origin Jeffy Garlett in as a sweetener (with Tyson + picks). He's getting older, but he'll give them 3 or 4 years of high quality small forward craft i'd have thought. Looks disinterested (in body language) as a demon right now.

If the Saints/Nth are going to make a godfather offer, then i think we need to do a bit of creative accounting and make some tough decisions on some players, to free up some cap space to offer something resembling their offer at least for the first few years. The incentive of playing for a better team should be enough for him to take unders, you'd hope.

Nah, it's only 600. And 125 in cash under the table to Goodwin.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought GCS don't really give a flying fudge about high draft picks and throw them around like trading cards, only caring about academies, points and now trading them for elite players

THE Suns have made an audacious play to lure Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to the Gold Coast. The draft pick rich Suns have offered two first-round picks and potentially another player to Fremantle to get the deal done either in this year’s trade period or next year when Fyfe becomes a restricted free agent. Gold Coast currently have two picks in the top ten in this year’s draft, plus whatever they receive for out-of-contract midfielder Dion Prestia who wants out of the Suns and is believed to have nominated Richmond as his destination of choice. Gold Coast Suns set to launch audacious bid for Fremantle superstar Nat Fyfe

“Nat is clearly a very demanding leader at times and certainly knows what he wants. We love that about him. We really respect that,” Mundy said. It's my personal opinion that Fyfe is the kind of player and person that would want to be the captain of a football club, it's well documented that He and Mundy were competing for it. Have you seen footage of him in the rooms and onfield? He's a very dominant presence. He's 24 now so I think within 3 years would be the timeframe for him. I'm not an insider, i'm just an outsider offering my opinion. No need to be so abrupt with the response Jack. As I said, Viney will be the captain for 7+ years i'd assume so I don't think Fyfe would come to Melb for that reason. Other clubs will offer a leadership and captain role in the near future and that's why I think he will go there. There is more than ONE club offering potential premiership success. I'm not downplaying what we have to offer.

To get FYFE over the line I suspect you'd need to offer him a vision of the club with him in some sort of leadership role immediately, but captaincy further down the line but no less than 3 years. I think any club offering him that would be a chance. St Kilda do not have the most immediate leader to replace Riewoldt and should offer him captaincy within 3 years or straight away in the style of the Chris Judd trade. I don't think it would breed discontent in the ranks if captaincy is what it takes to get him into the club. If I was Carlton, Richmond, Essendon or Nth Melb, I'd do the same. Melb is a tricky situation, this is probably why I think Fyfe will not come to Melbourne as there seems to be an unofficial plan in place for Viney to become a captain of the club for the rest of his career. I'm not disagreeing with Viney being captain, I'm just offering my viewpoint as to why Fyfe is not a good fit for the Dees. Though our club guernsey would be a pretty nice looking fit on him.

I'd add 'Bloodline' to that list, criminally underrated at present as it might be a little slow for some. Stars Ben Mendelsohn who was nominated for best supporting actor but lost to Mr Robot's Christian Slater. Now two seasons in and it's almost as gripping as Breaking Bad in terms of causes and effects, twists and turns Also enjoyed 'Rectify' if you want a slow burning show that follows the rehabilitation of a wrongfully convicted man who has been in prison for 10+ years

What's the latest on Son of Smith? How's he tracking, training and Caseying? What position is he likely to be developing into?

It's been reported that the club has ordered Jake to live in Jacks spare room as a mentor and they are to spend 3 nights a week doing some wrestling sessions in the basement as part of the 400k over 4 year deal. Welcome to our coaching staff Jakey, let's hope the ferocity rubs off

Viney won't be lonely in the maniaclub anymore.

Did the bogan call it a 'girly' trade?

Two years of criticism of the bombers fans ethics in defending the program because of their bias and now that we've got a bomber, it might be better if they get off? Seems hypocritical.

Maybe they've also rented him out a room with Watts and ordered him to mentor jacky with a few wrestling and boxing sessions on the sofa every week.

Can he take a lie detector test for us: Do you harbor any intention to return to your home town of Geelong to be close to mummy and daddy when your contract expires ? Has the thought "gee i'd at least like to have a few years back home before i finish?" ever crossed your mind?
