Now hearing we're into Hopper.....which wouldn't be the first time..... :shh
BF or different source?

If GWS have half the issues of salary cap that were reported, he might be very gettable
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Our mate t71 on BF has been dangling a carrot on BF about a "big bodied mid" from another club for about a month now.

Also, one of our "young mids" who is contracted wants out is another one.

"Contracted young mid" literally could only be one of graham, naish, higgins.

In any of the 3 cases, i highly doubt it.

Seperate source - it's being doing the rounds the last few days so not surprised a couple of BF posters have heard it also and as I said, we've enquired about him previously. :shh

It's being said that one of their players will be getting $1.4m next season thanks to a back ended deal.

Are you serious? Hopper is a gun. Just about ready to break loose.

Heard Damo say that once next years contracts tick over that GWS will be about $2m over the cap. They need to offload.

Yup he said gws were planning to be winning flags by 2016-2018 which is why they stacked their TPP. Plan was to offload a couple of the longer term higher end deals for multiple first round draft picks after winning a flag so that they could relieve their cap pressure while still staying ahead of the rest of the comp in terms of talent.

He said Shiel and Scully are the two who could potentially be moved back to Victoria.
