Even that’s not too bad now that Mutimer’s $7mill has com off the books.
Very happy if that's the case. That's not even 700k per year.
We've never had a player named after a Dildo before?

Based on writing style, the Snitch has to be Ryan danielsOne of The Snitch’s favourites back when screw-in-studs were a thing and fish and chips were still wrapped in newspaper was crafty Richmond forward Kevin Bartlett.
KB, or “Hungry” as he was known, was a weapon for his coaches, Tommy Hafey and Tony Jewell, a player they could run through the middle and throw forward knowing whatever happened goals would flow.
Bartlett wore number 29 on one of those old lace up jerseys.
Ahhhh, 29. It’s a number close to my heart.

Mrs Snitch and I once had a wonderful holiday following the 29th parallel north, which took us through such enchanting and often inhospitable countries like Algeria, Libya, India, China, Mexico and the US. We had a delightful mai tai on that trip at Latitude 29 bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
I’ll admit I’m a bit of a maths geek – Eddie Woo’s Wonderful World of Maths is on my bedside table as we speak – and my favourite number is, you guessed it, 29.
Did you know? 29 is the sum of three consecutive squares, 22 + 32 + 42. It’s also the sixth Sophie Germain prime, a tetranacci number and an Eisenstein prime.
Anyway, back to Bartlett. He didn’t have much hair but boy could did he know where the goals were and operated with a kick to handball ratio of 29:1.

The Snitch
So it won’t surprise anyone that the number 29 at Tigerland is still one of The Snitch’s favourites.
Shai Bolton can do it all.
He can electrify a midfield with a sidestep and a shimmy, take a hang on someone’s head and, like Bartlett, sure knows where the goals are.
Shai’s everywhere on the footy field and he’s been everywhere on a trip back to his home town of Perth this week, weaving his way through meetings with representatives of West Coast and Fremantle.
He even appeared at a press conference on Thursday morning, to help kick off Education Minister Tony Buti’s Running Challenge to promote health and fitness ahead of this year’s Perth Running Festival.
Good on him for promoting a good cause.

Dockers or Eagles fans should not be put off by the fact Bolton is in year one of a five-year deal with the Tigers.
What do contracts mean in these times of lateral trades? Anything is possible in this modern AFL world and Fremantle and West Coast have deep wish lists and even deeper pockets.
Another Tiger with a classy pedigree, Liam Baker has also been back in his native State for casual chats.
The Snitch even believes the words five years were mentioned in Baker’s presence.
Like The Snitch revealed a fortnight ago when Chad Warner was a guest at Crown, courtesy of the Dockers, you have to aim high these days.
So where does the S man see them fitting in, best-case scenario?

Wouldn’t Warner look good alongside Harley Reid in that West Coast midfield? It would be a duo to rival Batman and Robin, Marlin and Dory, SpongeBob and Patrick, Simon and Garfunkel, Shaggy and Scooby, Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Shrek and Donkey, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar.
Just close your eyes Fremantle fans and imagine Bolton at half-forward? After all, Son Son is closer to the end of his career than the start.
I’m sure Cooper Simpson, the current owner of Fremantle’s 29 jumper, could be convinced to hand it over if the Dockers land their man.
Just like Pav, Bolton would fill it well.
No way, it reads like a boomer. Plus I don't think 35 year old Ryan Daniels would have taken a trip to Libya, it's been extremely dangerous ever since Gadaffi was removed in 2011, would be a pretty strange place to take your young wife.
The Suns aren't even giving up 10 on its own for Rioli
Both have spent significant time on the sidelines since being drafted. Development wise, both are effectively still first year players. Jones and Rotham only have contracts as they will be depth players from next year onwards.
