    He is a Nth Sunshine boy who is very close to his family. I went to school with his dad.

    Would definitely fit Macca's criteria.

    If the price is right I'd be having a crack but given that he was drafted wouldn't he have a 2 year minimum contract?

    Players can be traded if they agree to it, I believe that was why Caddy asked the question of GCS last year.

    He's uncontracted now and seems desperate to get to Vic and play for a Melbourne club. Asking price would be a fair bit though.

    Not just Essendon this time?

    Given the Bombers will be forced to use their first round pick on Daniher, I think the kid's being realistic.
    With Boak signing on with Port, Geelong would have to be in the box seat having picks (incl. an Ablett compo pick) and cap space.

    A hyphen playing with the Bulldogs???

    We would have to call him Banger or something similar for him to be accepted.

    We did have Simon Minton-Connell play for us

    We were linked to Jasper McMillan-Pittard at pick 15 in 2009, taking Howard instead.

    Seriously, I'm not sure any name could be more suitable for a rower than that.

    I spilled my drink reading this! In teaching, you meet lots of interestingly named people. This one is a ripper.

    Shannon Byrne is someone who I would mind us picking up for free. Apparently exploring his options.

    I suggested him a month or so ago and was shouted down big time by posters, suggesting he'd clog our list etc, etc.

    I've had a bit of a browse for this but can't find this. I don't see him as being exactly what we need at the moment but he's a good player.
