Also not sure where the huge figures of player payments are coming from. McGovern is obviously on nowhere near 800k over his contract life and Williams is nowhere near $1mill even on a front loaded contract for a single year.

Had a few clubs inquiry about Kennedy

About JSOS

He may leave but no decision as yet. He has lots to consider, including long term financial security.

2 clubs into him - Nth quite heavily.

#Bluemour

 

[TheNudist]

Viney leaving Melbourne and will be joining the Blues.

Club confident on Saad.

Club also pursuing Lonie again.

[Broadside]

Saad is not going to Richmond.

#Bluemour

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Not sure where any of the talk about Richmond and Saad came from.

Saad wants a fair contract and believes he has been offered unders, if Bombers don't cough up he is open to a move to either Stk,Carl. The only 2 in the race

#Bluemour

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Jack more likely to stay then leave. Don't believe everything you hear

North are the main ones after JSOS, also interested in Kennedy (Essendon also interested in Kennedy and another club). JSOS much more likely to go for a token pick. North have an 3 year offer on the table for him.

[jooce8891]

His on the money
Saad wants 5
Ess offering 4
They will budge and give him 5
If not he will ask to be traded to Carlton
North, rich and saints not in the picture anymore
A deal will get done (hope I'm wrong)

Im very reliably informed

#Bluemour

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Saad to stay at essendon

#Bluemour

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Club confident that both Cripps and McKay will sign new deals this off season. Just waiting on specifics from AFL house regarding list and cap sizes.

As of this morning, there were NO Carlton players seeking to leave. Hardy is either making it up or his story is not Carlton related.

Pick 7 is in play for a potential Saad trade, but that pick would not be going to the Bombers. Media only getting fed half stories. Still think he’s less than 50% chance to leave.

Oliver is unsettled & unhappy at Melbourne. He’s told them that. He’s told Carlton that too.

Source: Melbourne and Carlton.

He may not end up at Carlton but he wants out of Melbourne. There have been extensive discussions with people at Carlton.

Can confirm we are in talks with Oliver and his management. It will be hard to pry him out of Melbourne but you never know.
Not much in re to Saad, Witherden and a few others of interest to us
Club indeed alot more secretive this time round.

Both first round and future 1st picks are up for grabs

#Bluemour

 

[skadoosh]

Cripps 5 yrs sub 5 mill
McKay 2 years ~650k

Not confirmed but close

Some inside the club think that the media is either misreporting the numbers on purpose in the hopes it will cause salaries to be made public OR other clubs are feeding them false info to make it seem like clubs are overpaying. Every club basically has a few people in the media they feed stories to.

Oliver is unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Few different mids in play, we don't rate this draft at all so happy to trade out of it. Club sees kemp as basically our fresh blood. I think the WA media talk is actually about Fisher and not Cripps btw.

[myblueroan]

Saad wants to be a blue! He has made his decision.
the two offers were very similar but he wants Carlton. Money wasn’t a deciding factor.
Now for the hard bit, getting the deal done. Although he’s out of contract. So confident it will happen. Just won’t be easy.

#Bluemour

 

[Waite_30]

Pick 7 a strong possibility to be traded for 2 late first rounders. Geelong are keen on Henry. If we keep pick 7 we will draft Bruhn.


#Bluemour

 

[Waite_30]

Hearing that Saad hasn't made a final decision and is being very indecisive.

Offer on the table is 650k x5 which is the same as the Bombers.




#Bluemour

 

[KingCharles]

Saad to be a blue.
Oliver keen to come, but will be tricky.
Kelly back on our radar.
Decisions to be made.


#Bluemour

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Our offer is $50k more a year than the bombers plus car..

I gave us no chance of getting Oliver, but last night I received a text form a Dees supporter friend who has good contacts (lots on insight into why Hogan and Watts were moved on before it happened) saying he is hearing Oliver to Blues on a massive deal.

Also hearing Oliver cracked it at the B&F after coming 5th.

Interesting trade period ahead.
