I'd be more worried if you rated him... :shh :shh


Just answered my question. Identifying talent is not your strongest asset :shh Good to see you're having a crack  :lol

How about all those AFL clubs falling over themselves to sign up your boy Connor? Oh wait... :shh :shh :shh

His uncle said he is going to Freo a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure if he just assumed so or he was given a definitive offer.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Yes in an era where speed is the hottest commodity one club might sign him as a DFA but only after that same club was offered him for a late pick and preferred to trade a higher pick for James Aish instead ...  :biglaugh

Just on getting players in Hunter Clark from St Kilda should be on the list.

Carlton is willing to pay Jack Martin $1m for his first season  :gobdrop. Compare that to us getting an experienced gun key forward in Tom Lynch for less  :lol.



Carlton's gaping salary cap hole in 2020 will see pending recruit Jack Martin demand around $1million for his first season in navy blue.

Martin delisted himself from Gold Coast on Monday, nominating terms for a new home in the upcoming NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft.

It is believed the five-year contract request is valued at close to $650,000 per season.

Obviously GC players just expect $1 mill a year and flags when they leave the club.

We might have ruined it for the rest of the comp  :rollin

Sam Murray met with Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne in recent weeks and received some interest from reigning premier Richmond and North Melbourne.

He is able to train with an AFL club from December 17 and can play from February 17, when his 18-month ban ends for cocaine being detected in his system in a match-day test.

Bombers may pounce on axed Tiger Jacob Townsend (afl site/H-Sun)

Delisted Richmond premiership player Jacob Townsend looks set for an AFL lifeline, with Essendon set to give him a new home.

But AFL.com.au understands the 26-year-old, who gained a reputation as a hard nut for Greater Western Sydney before his stay at Richmond, is on the radar of the Bombers to add to their list before the start of next season.

Townsend was spotted meeting with the Bombers at their Tullamarine headquarters last week.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
