There are still considerable dominoes in play and I wonder if a few clubs are stalling and hedging their bets.
No Shiel deal and apparently it is not going swimmingly because, you know, Essendon. Do Hawks stall and see what happens if he was their #1 preference?
May apparently touring our joint. Do we stall if Wingard is our #1 preference?
We are all willing to pay Bont as much as he needs to stay, but in reality his last 2 years haven't been any where near the standard of the 2 that proceeded.

Tongue in cheek.

Don’t agree that his last two aren’t ‘anywhere near’ the two years prior. We have higher expectations for him now.
But 2017 his numbers were far superior to 2015, and comparable to 2016. Undoubtedly 2016 was his best year to date, but he was still excellent in 2017 - in a much worse performed side - and finished with 19 brownlow votes (20 in 2016) in a side that only won 11 games. I know numbers and votes aren’t the whole story - but to say he isn’t anywhere near that form isn’t right. Much like what I’be described as the ‘fake news’ of Wingard having 2 ‘down’ years, which is also nonsense.
On the Nandos scale I'd say Wingard is mild or medium and Stringer was hot
Whose extra hot then???
