I don't know if BoomerRoo has heard the same things I have and if he has it's family based (and with a little research completely fair enough family stuff even the Swans can't deny). It would be callous to say any more than that.
I do know up until the moment his name was called out both he and North thought he would be at North Melbourne that draft but that's not to say he has any link to us, just that he's "gettable" to Victoria. Location wise though St Kilda should have been up to their eyeballs trying to lure him.
