Trade/FA rumours

[Hellenic Tiger]

Would anyone go for Aaron Black? Reckon he'd be worth a punt

I'd certainly look at him.

Wouldn't cost much

Me too.
North would want to screw us as per usual taking the bs high moral ground.

We could get him on the black market I guess!

Careful you will be accused of racism

Doesn't like the word "sl-ot". So it's a word-filter by our website hosts. They use it to block gambling spam. Same thing happens with any text containing po-ker.

Need to add a hyphen like this in each occurrence of "sl-ot" or "sl-ots" to be able to copy and paste.

Ok cheers...here's the post in case old mate deletes it....

Guys, I'm not sure where to post this so just let me know if I should post it elsewhere.

This post is only staying up for 3 hours or so - I'll be editing this post at around 1am so nobody else can read it. I chose here since I recognised a lot of respected posters in this thread, and I want you guys to be the first to know.

There's more to the Bennell story than meets the eye - and it's good. We dropped Harley for a good reason.

You know how we have pay structures? The way it was described to me was that we've spent the last 3-4 years opening up 2 free "sl-ots" for big name players, open in 5-year chunks, and we're prepared to fill those this year and next year for the right players. He didn't go into detail about what a "sl-ot" is worth, but my speculation is a sl-ot = 500k, or maybe 600k. Anyway, fine print aside, Harley was going to take up one of those sl-ots in our pay structure. Then the Grand Final happened and a certain player who is close to Dimma and few of the Richmond boys unexpectedly had his manager get in touch with Blair. We've now offered our TWO sl-ots to this one guy, and we had to ask Harley whether he'd accept a significantly reduced contract so he'd fit into the rung below. His manager told us no, so we agreed to the awkward missed a medical excuse (which was true, but wasn't why we dropped him) and left the door slightly ajar for Harley in case he changes his mind.

Anyway, I didn't want a hundred PM requests so I'll say it now - that's all I'm prepared to put "out there". If I make it too obvious it could ruin my friendship with someone I've known for years, and the player in question would be devastated as he's pretty popular and they have no idea he felt this way.

I believe the player was a Richmond supporter as a kid, and he's coming home. Do not repeat his name. I'll be editing this post around 1am tonight, so I ask anybody who is online tonight to keep this to themselves and DO NOT repeat it in your own posts. Please respect me and I'll respect you.

Go Tiges.

...as I said...make of it what you will though I'm inclined to call b.s. on it at this stage.....

Now we're really wishful thinking!

Rioli & Hodge are the only two I can think of who supported Richmond...Hodge is surely too old and I'm only guessing in Rioli's case ...had just as much, if not more reason to support Essendon.........
