Ok, so I have been talking with my co-worker. His son plays VFL and is friends with some AFL players.
There is just one HUGE problem with the goss he gives me. The players he talks about are all made up!
He is deadly serious too, every time I see him, he tells me about them. I have a feeling he may be getting names terribly mixed up, but he mentions the same names all the time.
So anyway, today he tells me some top secret goss, he says Richmond might get a good player in the trade period, I say 'Adams', he says no, 'Alex Conti'.
I must have given him a look, because he says 'you know Alex Conti, from Freo, he's playing this weekend'.
This is the same Alex Conti that allegedly played against us at the MCG last season in the wet and kicked 3 goals.
He is a free agent (I think he means out of contract) and is keen to come back to Victoria. Collingwood are very interested in him as well.
But it doesn't end there, because we're also looking at a player from North Melbourne, Taylor Petrenko....
He is a regular senior player and hurt his achilles late in the season. He has a rugby background and Cronulla are also trying to lure him back to rugby.
Norf are paying him $220k, and we've offered $250k.
So what should we trade for these fictional players? Jim Boogie for Conti and Ema Nymton for Petrenko? Would that be enough to get the deal done?
