Chook in Perth

Can comfirm the rumours Taberner is an AFL standard footballer are false

Jay Clark is a cracking bloke, actually

Jesse going nowhere, boys and girls.

Balic yes. Watts has options galore. Devastated but going.

A few people asking me what mail is about.Honestly not much this year. Hearing the Watts loot will inform next move. They'd like Gaff and question has been asked. Unlikely at this point but shopping assets like Watts gives us a chips at the table. Balic more likely than not.

Still got it. ?

Jackson Trengove on way out of Port. Offered 3 years, wants 4 and will get 4. We're one of a few clubs sniffing. plan B should we lose Lever from 10 goals up at 3 quarter time.

I assume nowt.

Lever has met with both Melbourne and Collingwood. One meeting went very well. The other didn't.

Hopefully the Franchise have their pants pulled down tomorrow night. Then I'll have something.

Wash.your.mouth.out.

Happening.

First year obsessed was 84, so... B: Sean Wight Anthony Ingerson Matthew Whelan HB: Brett Lovett David Neitz Alan Johnson C: Stephen Tingay Glenn Lovett Robbie Flower HF: Russell Robertson David Schwarz Garry Lyon F: Darren Bennett Allen Jakovich Jeff Farmer R: Jim Stynes Todd Viney Nathan Jones IN: Brian Wilson Brad Green Adem Yze Max Gawn a team lacking serious pace in the middle and forward, but they aren't playing anyone....

From a rock solid source: "Mate this is horseshit".

I didn't say that. I said Brisbane knew nothing about the complex trade posted. "Are you working on a complex deal involving Dunn and future picks with Melbourne for Rocky?" "No." People I trust are now talking about this. I'm approaching cautious excitement. Will be working the phones tomorrow.

Stick fat fella. My information contradicts yours, but I don't doubt you posted with the best intentions and confident it was happening. Some posters battle at life. Their existence doesn't facilitate access to successful people. The fact you have contacts in the footy industry is bewildering to them. Don't let the opinions of nuffies get you down.

Fait accompli right now. But as I always say at this time of year, things fall all over. Doesn't mean the rumours were wrong.

You're giving me far too much credit. I shared this tail with someone who could verify both parties.

No.

Brisbane know nothing about this.

Club has managed this superbly. For this to not get out, given the level of speculation, is remarkable. I've had a lot of mail about Hogan in the last month. but it was wildly conflicting and not worth sharing, other than the 5 years or eff off now yarn. Even that I only posted because the source was impeccable. Clearly he signed for less time than what was on the table. But signs of a rock solid club not sweating under the spotlight.

This is happening.

geez youre a pain in the r's. A modern cyber "Barb". Pity Dirk Welham isn't hanging around Goschs

This will be finished by the middle of October. It's this black and white - either he signs the 6 years on the table, or he'll be traded. Club will not not have this crap going on for another 12 months.

"Do we need Jesse" Strictly speaking - no. If he holds us to ransom I'm comfortable we can kick goals sans him, and the sum of the loot we'd get for him would be our Cyril/Selwood/Parker cherry on the cake. Do I want to lose him? Not in a million years.
