Time to let the Hopper pipe-dream go. He won't be at the Tiges.

Asked my mate about Scully. He said nothing had changed, we’re not in a position to go after him, we’re heading to the draft unless something falls in our lap. (And FWIW, he wasn’t aware of any tour of Punt Rd.)

Had a few PMs asking whether I’d heard anything re the Tiges, and thought it would be easier to reply here. Always happy to share what I hear. It’s just that other than Lynch, there hasn’t really been anything worth talking about. Basically, my mate in the industry is pretty adamant Lynch was...

My understanding is Cerra is extremely close to re-signing at Freo. Won’t be at Punt Rd. Also haven’t heard anything re some of these other names being thrown around. As far as I’m aware, we’ve had no dealings with the respective camps of Wallis/Hopper/Setterfield/Lobb. Lynch, on the other...

Stuck to the strategy. Well played tiges.

Caught up with my mate, but not much has changed from what he shared on Day 1. All this Schache speculation is misplaced. I’ve been told definitively that the Tigers aren’t interested. They were earlier in the year, but now they’re not. Same way that plenty of other teams that could do with...

Hmmm. I've been told definitively the club is no longer interested in Schache. We also have no interest in Redpath, given he signed a new 2 year deal with the dogs a month ago. I guess we'll see.

No skin off my nose, I just pop in every now and then to share what I can.

We're not.

No, very quiet first day and honestly don't expect much this trade period. Tigers more likely to be involved in pick trading/upgrading than bringing in players. No appetite to burn a spot on the list unless it fills a key need, and there's not a lot available that would. But yeah, as always...

Was told earlier today that we would only consider Schache if the price was right. Have subsequently heard that we don't rate him as being worth one of our first rounders, given perceived risks. We are worlds away from want Brisbane wants. It's not a smokescreen, the club has gone very cold...

Morning all. As always, happy to share any tidbits I hear from my mate in the system. Apparently there are a few different ways we could go, but they all include waiting to see how things shake out before making any big decisions, as we want to gauge the level of interest in our fringe...

For what it's worth, I've heard this afternoon he's staying.

These are excellent appointments. Experienced private sector leaders, familiar with governance responsibilities, and with real commercial nous. Exactly the sort of people I want in place to ensure the ongoing financial viability of the club I love. Ex-footy players and naive amateurs with...

Yeah, but every post a winner ;) My mail is generally pretty decent. Speaking of which, extremely confident Caddy will be a tiger. Even if Lids goes elsewhere.

Like I said, still hearing Lids to Geelong for Caddy, probably with a pick swap. Prestia and a pick for 6. Nankervis will get done.

Don't get too excited re Lids to GWS. I'm still hearing the Caddy trade is on.

Not much to update on, other than the club is pretty confident about getting Caddy and 37 for Lids and 45. Perhaps a bit of posturing from the Cats still to come, but the player is onboard. Very much a win/win.

That time of year again, where having a mate in the industry makes life a little more interesting for a few days. As always, happy to pass on what I hear - this particular mate wouldn't tell me anything that would jeopardise anything. That being said, he reckons so far this year the usual...

I I know, timing seems odd, probably nothing in it. Just sharing, not vouching on this one.

If I said I'd heard something similar, I'd be Lyin' ;)

Appreciate the interest, and I generally don't mind passing on whatever I can, but this time I've said all I can say. Any more detail would be a breach of trust.

Hurley won't be coming to the Tigers. Borderline unprofessional treatment from the club in their overtures. Insulting money, no long term vision, not even a firm view of how he'd fit into the team. Most disappointing mail I've had for years, and not because we're missing out on a player...

Mate, I wish I had half the strength and courage you've shown here. Someone told me once when I was in a really dark place that the best thing I could do for myself was to reach out to people, and that I'd be amazed at how understanding and caring they'd be. I was too scared to do so, I...

Had a chat to a mate of mine who has been reliable in the past. Wasn't really expecting he'd have much on day one, but our conversations always seem to find their way to list management. As always, happy to pass on what I hear. And as always, there are no guarantees in life. 1. Carlton...

Haven't heard a lot, but here's what I know: 1. Red hot on Hampson. A Blair pick. Seen more as an around-the-ground marking target than a forward, but with the potential to take a defender when he rests. 2. Foley going nowhere. Highly rated internally, not enough inside mids that are...

Jesse White to play for a South Australian team next year. A pic of a plane ticket to Adelaide went up on twitter, and was taken down 5 mins later. Hardly conclusive, but I would think a pretty strong indicator. Part of the KT deal? Or Port desperate to actually field a team next year?

Petterd. Source has been reliable in the past.

This particular rumor was started on another forum as a tongue-in-cheek joke thread. However people took it seriously (despite it being clarified later in the thread as BS), and thus a meme was born. Categorically, the tigers have no interest in Russell. That people even think we could be...

No worries champ - hey why not photoshop a few car crash fatalities being on the wrong end of a Martin don't argue too, should be hilarious. For the record, Im not into contrived outrage or being PC for the sake of it. I dont make a habit of lecturing peope, and Im nit the morality police...
