Sweet, somebody is interested in Vickery! I'm so relieved...
he's gathering interest which will only drive up his value, which is great for us

I like Conca but like Ty he could benefit from a change of environment. Crozier would be a fair trade.

Have it on very good authority that we're seriously considering chasing at least two or three of Cloke, Swan, Bartel, Barlow, Harvey, Ballantyne, Enright, Mayne & Hodge and a couple of other well regarded older types with premiership or premiership contending/finals winning experience..the club's reasoning being that we desperately need more onfield leaders & onfield coach types with composure, who've been successful & know how to win matches and instill higher standards in the playing group.... the club & football depatrment isn't quite unanimous this strategy but we should still prepare ourselves to see at least one of the above in yellow & black next year nonetheless....

Just so folks understand

There will be no trade or swap for Vickery.

He is a restricted free agent

So he gets an offer, takes said offer, we dont match and he walks = we get a compo pick, no trade

We win  :clapping

Mason Wood is the only kid Norf have that looks to have star qualities. They will have an early teen pick as well. Other than that, they're all poo.

I reckon its fair too. Would be reasonably happy.
