But payment situation not the same. In theory if you're banned/suspended, you don't (can't?) get paid, but if you're injured you still get paid, including match payments.

Chris Dawes?

Big risk, but presumably it's being taken into consideration. It's not as if it's not out in the open.

Pretty big field.

Don't think they'd take the chance of delist and re-rookie, he was starting to show something and had a very good final game.

OK. Carry on.

Something you've heard, or something you're proposing?

Just not sure Toumpas has any real trade value.

Pleased with this, both that he's been given another year, and that it's only a year. Gives players like King, Frost and Oscar Mac a bit of time to develop, and Pedersen showed that he could be useful.

Nah, not believable. Got to be a hairdresser in the chain somewhere for it to have any credibility.

Active? It's all just smoke and mirrors at the moment.

You're confusing a lack of respect with a lack of talent.

Probably means it's true.

Because he's reputed to be going to ... oh wait, he's not moving. How's that veil looking?

Seedsman?

750K a year? Heck, we can get Jake Melksham for half that.

North Melbourne and Richmond are offering Port Adelaide's Hamish Hartlett $750k a season over 5 years according to Tony Sheahan.

Greg Baume piece in the Age covers it well - though he's not Robinson Crusoe. "Boo-gans." Nice one Greg.

Given what we've experienced across this season (especially the latter part), I'd be making "competitive" the first requirement. No point being fast, skilful and blessed with a footy IQ if you only use it every other week, or 3 out of 4 quarters.

It's the draft ... comes with the job, and it's the same for all clubs.

Would be an improvement on our current fifth or sixth midfielder. Once again, I trust Goodwin and McCartney (and others at the club) on players they've worked with.

This is very very different. WADA didn't take anyone to CAS for starters. I'll be very surprised if there are no penalties, but with the 6 months already served (provisional suspension), and a reduction for no significant fault, it could come down to 12 months or so to serve = 1 season (or even less, though hard to see how given the rules in place). Presumably that's being (or has been) weighed up.

Given some that were on our list this season, not sure that that would be any different.

Speculation.
