Re: Dan Butler

If it's true that we are chasing Dan Butler, then I would say we have cooled on Sam Gray. We wouldn't be chasing two small forwards. Butler was a key player in the Tiger's 2017 premiership. I’m not sure we would be chasing both to get both. But I would think we would be asking the question, and if ...

Re: Dockers want pick 5 for Hill

The trade for Hill is red hot going to happen. I think Pick 5 is ok given we are getting an AA wingman at 26. Unless we split pick 5 with 11 and 13 with GWS and give 11 to Freo for Hill. Interesting times. Splitting the pick 5 for increased trade dips is great from the Saints but the Dockers will c...

Obviously not.

It didn’t ever seem all that firm this year though.
I believe he re-signed a couple of weeks ago at port.
