Greg Denham has possibly the lowest strike rate of any journo going around from my experience. He is happy to write or say anything so I am treating this as BS.

would prefer jean-luc

But seriously, 4 years would be ridiculous. 3 years, ditch the white and play for a club that has a remote chance of achieving something. You hot-headed dirty rotten mercenary, you.

We would very much like Goddard though. Don't know if there are talks, but he's on the wishlist.

The bottom of Denhams article also stated that the suns are prepring for life after Caddy.... i hardly reckon they are quaking in their boots at the possibilty of there existing no life after losing one of their 25 gun kids:p

Is the rumour about Gysberts that he WANTS to go, or that Melbourne WANT to trade him. Coz if it's the later theyre going to be expecting overs considering what he has achieved whilst being ON the park

I reckon we are just as likely to offer up Dyson and a 3rd rounder for Bennell this year; we seem to like doing that.

You could probably stqart your own rumour on the main board and see which of these "journos" comes out with it first
We already did that with McVeigh --> GWS.

Wasn’t even on the main board. It’s amazing how deep they’ll dig when they’re so bored and devoid of actual facts to “report”.

Very ordinary form at prediciing player moves.

It is arguably what Melbourne would be after. Lonergan is the other player on our list that would suit their side perfectly all tackle and nothing else philosophy perfectly.

Imagine if Gus could be part of a deal for Gysberts. I've always liked Gus but it would be too good trade to be annoyed at.

Would I be wrong to think that we get slightly dudded in a monfries for gysberts straight swap? maybe monfries for gysberts with one of our picks being upgraded? After all, we're trading our 4th most senior player for a bloke who's been stuck playing for casey all year.
