All these players not getting contracts yet at North could point to us maybe having a few targets in our sights

Not much left though

And no way in hell Lynch would ever come to North. It ****s me off that tigers are in the lead to get him to be honest. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
I hope they do get him. The cupboard will be bare when it comes to paying other players. Houli, Short and a shit load of others will leave.

You’d think we have a few players in mind or is it just gaff.

Tom Browne has said we will pull out all stops to get Dylan Shiel at seasons end along with the usuals in Carlton and St.Kilda... can’t help but laugh really. The media just throw our clubs name in the ring for the sake of it.
A) We wouldn’t ask the question because we’d know what the answer would be and
B) he’s contracted and has clearly stated he wants to stay

Very frustrating, because the perception will be that we have missed out on another target when the reality is he was always immovable

Who cares about the perception, player managers have already ruined that. Anyone with half a brain can figure out we aren't chasing a 100 different players.

Absolutely the more the muppet media report we're chasing Players X,Y & Z the better because everybody will just assume it's total crap..

Ain't that the truth.... and the free agency rumours staff attract the very worst kind of muppet. Eg Maclure, Ralphy etc....these cretins make the likes of BT appear intelligent. ......

I agree with noises out of the Gold Coast, free agency sucks. It makes it impossible to balance the competition. I hope we don't end up with a competition only a few teams can win...The rise of Collingwood and Richmond will make them a very attractive destination.
Nothing wrong with free agency at all. Just scrap the combo.

Bottom clubs can offer bigger coin to pull players out of clubs with overloaded caps. Top clubs can offer team success to players willing to sacrifice dollars.

Works perfectly well in other sports. But it does require no dubious draft compromises or..

Oh.

Would love us to get Jamie Elliott.

Pre injury he was on fire and would be a 40-50 forward fit and firing

Averages two goals a game the last three full seasons

Exactly! Got nothing else to talk about these ‘journalists’ - I use that word loosely too!!
