Apparently, Brisbane are offering Paddy Ryder $2.5 over 4 years. Port, GWS and Sydney are the only other clubs interested in Ryder.

$625K per year (assuming he is eligible to play for each of those 4 years) is money well spent IMO.

Geelong reportedly set to sign Irishman Padraig Lucey from The Recruit.

Waylon Manson from The Recruit allegedly seen down at the Westpac Centre.

I think we should look at Lowden.  Been in the Hawthorn system for a while and would be an upgrade on Hampson and Stephenson.

Can you pump him up any better than that?

lol , yeh I guess a Kmart mannequin would be an upgrade on those two.

Dice I can't see Ryder going to GWS.

Yeh me either really. Sydney is my tip. They've got no rucks and they usually get who they want.
And I agree we should be looking hard at GWS. Reckon most clubs would be after the Anthony Miles success story.

I agree dice that Sydney would be a more realistic fit. In saying that, GWS had a big tilt at Buddy and ended up with Mummy who cost nowhere near what they were offering Buddy so they may still have a legitimate crack. Swans will need to clear some cap space hence the interest in Mitchell.
 I've watched a few GWS magoo games this year and there is some real talent there. They only lost 3 games all year and lost in the prelim to Aspley who ended up being premiers for 2014 beating the Swans Reserves in the Grand final.

Sam Blease has asked Melbourne to be traded.  What is he worth.  I would say a 4th round pick. 
Tigers should be all over him and he fits the bill in terms of speed and x factor. 
If Blues get him I'll spew up!!!

He is going to the Blues. He has told this to someone that posts on BF who is a personal friend of his.

I wouldn't walk into a K Mart anytime soon Dice.
I hear that the K Mart mannequin fraternity is up in arms over your abusive comments  :lol

Fremantle have now officially tabled a $3 million offer on a five-year contract deal for free agent James Frawley, which trumps Geelong’s 2.5 million for the same length of contract.

Jarrad Waite is understood to have now also held discussions with Dockers management and will become an even higher priority recruit if Frawley does not head west. Waite and his management have apparently been offered just a one-year extension offer from Carlton, while North Melbourne has made a similar overture with an option of a second-season depending on his 2015 performances.

The Bulldogs are adamant Will Minson, contracted until the end of 2016, is going nowhere despite rival clubs believing he is available. Collingwood had made enquires because it had heard rumours of discontent regarding Minson.

Port Adelaide have reportedly shown interest in Fremantle's Jon Griffen. Griffen has played 18 games for Peel Thunder in the WAFL but remains behind Zac Clarke as 2nd choice ruckman.

According to 3aw:
Kristian Jaksch could be bound for the Western Bulldogs since the Dogs have become "confident" of luring the homesick key position forward/defender. Jaksch, who grew up a Western Bulldogs supporter is set to accept a five-year deal from the Bulldogs.

Lions CEO Greg Swann has confirmed that Brisbane has met with Mitch Robinson and his management regarding a move to Queensland.

Luke Tapscott has requested a trade to Carlton according to Triple M.

Magpie Dayne Beams has rejected an offer to head to Brisbane according to SEN.

stuff. Every club is linked to someone except us in the media. I would be happy to be linked to a dud just so it makes it look like we are doing something and actually give a poo.

Champ people who think like you are the reason we recruit duds. We want to be seen to be doing something. Do it once do it right.

Tom Mitchell and cheap GWS's are the only ones available that are worth looking at.

Jon Griffen would be worth a look if we hadn't recruited Humpson.

So much rubbish reporting....Jaksch was most definitely a richmond supporter growing up..
