I quite like that idea. It might suit his outside-ish ways. Not sure what his tank's like and, being a Geelong boy, I'd expect that to be his first port of call. I just can't see Salem on the wing.

If it's a player, I reckon they'll try and push Langdon unfortunately. Would love Daniels

Probably not talking about Polec

As Wiseblood says above - paying obscene cash might do it. Shiel and Devon Smith would be able to give him the lowdown on the place.

Their bizarre trading decisions could be explained if they were stone broke, but it's (the cap) paid by the AFL. It would explain getting rid of all the staff though.

Lol - Jeremy Cameron - preliminary talks would have been him hanging up the phone on them. Ben Brown will end up there on a massively overs contract

If he's a winker, then I take it all back!

In the Jordan Lewis sense of campaigner, I assume. I've met him a number of times (not recently) and have never discussed football with him. He doesn't strike me as a campaigner at all. He's quite aloof though. Maybe it's a white line thing

That's a lovely new outfit Ethan!

A nibble for Nibbler eh?

He's also got officially until the start of November to decide. It's probably wise that he gets some distance from hub life to think things over

I hope that's fake! Yuck

I'm a bit of a Hannan fan despite his less than stellar year. I'm pretty sure he spent most of the preseason in the rehab group because of a groin injury (after the knee injury) so that makes me query his tank prospects. IIRC he had mini stints on the wing in 2019 (like half the team) but don't recall a noteworthy performance but as Polly says, and I agree, he's footballer and a preseason dedicated to that position may surprise if he can get that fitness base. I'd be happy for him to have a year ahead of others O.O.C

I hope the price tag rules out Collingwood from nabbing him

I'm not sure about that. I distinctly recall Port wanting to retain Polec and Polec didn't want to leave (Port or SA). Port had no hope of getting anywhere near North's ridiculous offer. Brisbane didn't want him to go either. Having said that, I'm not 100% sold on him despite wanting plenty more outside run. If he doesn't run both ways, then Goody will have no interest. It'd hard to determine if this is about the player or the coach (with he and Brown)

I thought Viney was weird and I hope he was just hungover or was kept up all night with the kid

Thanks Clint - that clarifies things, but unfortunately, not why Taberner is in the squad and May isn't. I'm a little clearer on the competency of the committee though

Yes, my initial reaction was WTF?

Genuine question. Did Matt Taberner suddenly turn into a footballer? He's made the squad and I don't recall him having much ability, but haven't really seen him this year or heard any hype about break-out years etc. Cheers Yes, cant think of a single reason why May didn't get a gig - preposterous!

Wow, votes are all over the shop this evening. Here's some more: 6 Petracca 5 Salem 4 Langdon 3 Gawn 2 May 1 Hunt

As opposed to Smith, Tomlinson and Hunt

Have a beer for us Jack! The forecast sounds great. We need to smash Essendon, which isn't out of the question unless we spend three quarters dithering, like we did against Sydney and Heave ho.

No, you're changing your argument.

None of the equivalents at Brisbane, Sydney, West Coast and Port have played for their respective clubs. Most of them are doing orright! There are probably more clubs but I cant be bothered looking them up.
