Foxsports has none of the delisted free agents linked to us. Mind you they still have Townsend on this list when he has re-signed.

Can't find any confirmation on the RFC site that Townsend has re-signed.


Am I missing it?

Confirmed by AFL News this morning
Hasn’t signed

I must be the only one who thinks Murdoch is a spud. Bellis looks like a superstar next to him. Pass for me.

Menzel can play but is lazy. Would rather put time into a youngster......

This resonates with me. Wouldn't touch Murdoch, Menzel is a freak but has mental demons (knee).

Regarding Murdoch, I think the original question posed here was if he was worth a rookie spot.

I think he is. He has the tools to be a good player, and it may be he wasn't a good fit with the Cats.

History would suggest that if he has been delisted by a club, he is unlikely to make the grade. Clearly no one wanted to trade for him.

But at the same time, I have felt he has played some reasonable footy against us, and a rookie spot is a lot cheaper than a Pitura stuff-up.

Rules haven't changed

If it is in the public domain = a known news source and you can supply the link it can be posted

If it's a unsubstantiated rumour that legally can get us trouble you don't post it.

Same rules as always and very simply

And I made it clear the other day after I removed a post that outside of being one that could have got us into massive trouble showed a lack of respect towards OER, not to mention stupidity on the part of the poster ... We will start suspending posters if they refuse to follow the rules on these types of posts
