Not to be a party killer, but will be 33 by the end of the deal.

Is there any other KPD's who have still been at the top of their game at 33? (Fletch aside).
He's just had a refresher year to get his body perfect for another 10 years.

If purple gets another trade rumor wrong

Then we will not be surprised.

My feelings about purple are probably the same a most but to be fair to the ****** the last few times I've heard him speaking on who goes/stays, he has been either non committal or in the 'stay' camp. So I guess he hasn't been hearing what he wants...

only because the tool went so hard on them leaving with categorically false information he had no option but to change tact and hedge his bets.

Hey guys, excuse my ignorance, but can you let me know how guys like Hooker, Hocking and Colyer have re-signed?

I thought as part of their punishment they weren't allowed at the club or to talk about footy with the club, so how is it they've signed a contract with them?

Or is it because the player manager would discuss with the club and then the player with his manager, and that's allowed?

Apologies I've clearly missed something here and was hoping someone could clarify

you probably answered your own question
