Chook in Perth

Yes.

classy.

3 years, more money than Essendon. Goodwin a fan. Some of you guys need to remember not every deal is going to be a game changer.

Colin told my source directly he'd signed. Why he would tell a relative stranger he'd signed, if he hadn't, is beyond me. You'd think he'd flat bat and say "working through the details". This isn't heard it on the grapevine stuff. Which, by the way, I don't post.

not sure what's going on. Colin himself told my original source he'd signed Friday week ago. Since had mail he said at the bnf he hadn't signed. preference was to stay, but had options. not trying to hedge my bets - I try to be definitive. but this one has me flummoxed

As if.

Apart from the full forward rotting in a jail cell, who's beaten his missus up countless times.

The situation is fluid.

Seems Howe headed for the sunny surroundings of Carrara.

the big offers aren't rolling in. we would keep him by default, unfortunately.

Garland re-signed yesterday. not sure of terms.

Look every chance we sell the farm for him and he's a double amputee by 30.

Bump. Dees not dying wondering behind the scenes. Lot still to take place. Watch this space.

only the poor mans Lynch.

Danger mail from source close to his management "Dees? not likely" Grain of salt, people.

Not particularly enamoured with the club for trying to trade him to GWS for the Boyd pick last year. He's gone.

There is some noise around. Absolutely. But difficult to decipher what is driven by truth, and what is driven by stuff like Slobbo's Likes and Dislikes this morning. But people who I consider reliable sources have their ears pricked. The other thing I'd say is directed at naysayers: It's easy, after the fact, to grab your erection and say "see I told you it wasn't going to happen!!!1!" But anyone with half a brain would realise these situations are fluid. If Danger doesn't ultimately come does that mean "pick x was tabled, and he's strongly considering Melbourne's offer" is rubbish? No, it doesn't. Anyway, I'll check in again if I get anything with legs.

Dawes not in great shape to play long term. Desperately need another key forward. Lynch very much the target right now. I'm underwhelmed but that's the play.

Hello all, long time no posting. I wrote this about the great man the other day. http://theviewfromthecheapseats.tumblr.com/post/125723104048/happy-allen-jakovich-day See you in October for trade week rumour mongering.
