    Would you exit from woof without a trace? Or would still post on woof in more of a trolling like manner than you already do?
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      I would make a burner account and totally hypothetically just post about how unfairly maligned Josh Schache is or something.

        Three candidates on the FA list:

        Tim O’Brien (would need lots of years and ok money)
        Tom Lynch (Crows) (30yo DFA, one year, not much money. Kicked over 30 goals in a season 4 times, not recently)

        Any interest?
        I'd much rather get a ruck and move English forward.
        Sam Day has spent a lot of time out of the game but he can play back a bit at least. Tom Lynch can cover ground at least and I assume would be a DFA

          Why, he's only 3 times more frustrating than Cam Wight on a bad day.

          The only way Hawks fans can tolerate Sam Frost being in their team is by having Tim O'Brien run around at the other end of the ground.

            I've always liked Lynch and he'd cost nothing. I'd be into it.

            The big revelation for me is that this isn't already a burner account.

              For me, if we're bringing in someone next year as cover for Bruce, they need to be able to do a decent amount of ruckwork. I don't know who that player is that we should look at, but T.Lynch isn't doing that.

                Better to get a ruckman and Tim play forward more

                  Kelly signed his 8 x $1M extension. Add that to Whitfield, Greene & Cogs on huge money.

                  Surely clubs are looking to get stuck into the rest of their list with this salary cap squeeze. I wonder if targeted good money offers could shake someone free, like Sam Taylor. Probably not for Taylor, but if Jason McCartney (when not abusing umpires in their rooms) is starting to see multiple clubs, coming for multiple players that they can’t all afford in the next 15 months then some simply have to shake free. At a slightly lower trade cost too.

                  Anyone else from the plastics to try to shake free?

                    It's a great deal for the rest of the competition as I can see more players leaving there for some extra cash back home
                    Would Jake Riccardi be a chance as a key defender? Or perhaps Kieren Briggs as ruck support?

                      Great for the comp with them tying up so much cash in so few. Bang on. I’m open to all ideas, contracted or coming out of contract. I suspect there’s going to be some cheap trades if the other clubs put their players in their sights.

                          Not sure I believe that, the writing style is just too different.
