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.

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

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.

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.

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 salary cap is a malleable object for some clubs. Just like the FA compensation we get for Dahl would be a lot different if he was a Melbourne player. The AFL would find a way to justify giving them a first round pick while we will struggle to get a third rounder for the exact same contract.

What is we only wanted to pay $500,000 over 3 years? I can't see him being worth more to us. But if get a couple of retirements and they can do $575,000 but over 4 years... I'd much rather let him go over that extra $300,000 over four years.

But let's just see what happens once the silly season starts.

Taylor's retirement will cover it for next year, although I still think they'll chase Lycett hard as priority no 1.

Their recent retirements would have freed up some cash too - Mackie, Enright, Lonergan, etc.
