Anyone in the know about anything - I’ll take rumour about new towels at this stage.
Its the wrong time of the year for me. I can find out certain things. But as it stands i have nothing useful yet.

In a month or two ill be able to get some noteworthy info though

Kelly and Shiel would be fairly amazing, the cynic in me says one makes the other impossible though.

If Shiel walks via RFA to us, GWS are asking for a kings ransom for Kelly, they aren't trading him to us.

If Kelly is traded to us, no way GWS aren't matching that RFA bid for Shiel. We can't afford both at the trade table.
The dream is nice. But you are right. It wont happen

I think us spending 95% is quite large for our list at the moment. One would think we have front loaded the hell out of some of our bigger names and we have an absolute war chest sitting there ready for someone
It’s the rules. You have to pay 95% of the cap.

We would have front loaded like crazy.

Jay Clark 'Josh Kelly I've absolutely no doubt will definitely play for North Melbourne whether it's this year or next'. Huge!

There isn't a single player in the competition I would choose over him.

We just need to snag another ready made this season.

Anyone hear Carl Delina’s interview on SEN yesterday? Article link here but doesn’t give too much away. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/06...ing-we-can-be-as-dangerous-as-wed-like-to-be/
For those who listened did Carl give any indication on who we might be after?

I heard it. He didn't say who but did make it clear we'd been very active behind the scenes, in reponse to a question about our oft mentioned "war chest". He talked generically about us trying to boost our midfield depth and class but also let slip the words "and a key defender".

I was left with the impression that we'd been chatting with the managers of Gaff, Wines and McGovern.

He was asked if we'd spoken to Wines manager and replied "I don't know" then said something like "We'll I do know, but I'm not telling you", which to me was basically an admission that we're into him.

That's right, prompting them to say "that's an accidental yes".
