I will kick off with:


North Melbourne make $5m offer for Jordan De Goey - read article here

North keep trying to entice a marque player but have not been successful, even with big dollars.

That's ridiculous money for a guy who is still questionable. Granted he's had a decent season and you have to add in a twenty percent premium to get players to move, but wow. Whats Bonti worth then ? I'm scared to think.

I can't imagine what Tom Lynch will command. He's been linked to Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn but Collingwood don't have the cap space to get him unless they move on both De Goey and Moore, and even then they are hamstrung with Mayne & Wells both contracted for next year ($600k & $500k respectively).

There are a pair of McGoverns floating around, WCE's version looking at close to 1 million. Gaff will earn a pretty penny on the open market as a FA.

There are some big players yet to sign. Then we consider Gold Coast will have a billion early picks and cap space after Lynch leaves, which is appearing more likely. They desperately need a senior mid.

I really hope Lynch stays where he his, I would not like him at any other club that has a premiership window.

De Goey is a Robbie Gray type gun.

Roughie may have been indirectly shipped out. We could have retained him without too much of a hassle. I think we offered unders as a depth ruckman and he thought he was worth more.

FWIW have seen repeatedly rumours that Dahl is going to the Cats and Wallis to the Lions.

They may have offers, but we will see if we want them or not.

Have the cats got anything to offer of note ? I thought they traded all their picks away.

Dahl is a free agent.

[ledge]

Dahl is a free agent.

Well I imagine their salary cap would be pretty full anyway, not sure they could match anything we could offer.

Or if they want to stay.

The Roar got some updates this morning regarding Jordan De Goey:

Latest
Jordan De Goey is reportedly on the verge of signing a new two-year deal with Collingwood despite reports of offers in the range of $5 million over five years from North Melbourne and St Kilda.

[Twodogs]

I'm not suprised. 1/ who wants to play at North or St Kilda? 2/ why would you want the pressure of a million dollar contract when you are barely established as an AFL footballer? 3/ some people (unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance) have a bit of dignity and remember who gave them their break and don't go running off with the first suitor to flutter their eyes in their direction. Jordan do Gooey will still make an obscene amount of money, he will be a club legend (instead of attracting ridicule for missing a premiership and being despised by the supporter base of his original, unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance)

Good for de a Gooey, it sounds like his management have half a brain and an eye to the long game,

[bornadog]

Any interest in Polec?
