from Port Adelaide also continues to be tentatively linked to a move West

On a final note, trade period is the AFL media’s Grand Final with every journalist looking to break the next story, no matter how trivial or truthful, in a never ending race for clicks. In that pursuit, they are fed a smorgasbord of information from clubs and player managers designed to further their own objectives

It means a lot of bullshit floating across the interwebs so approach each bit of information with some healthy scepticism and wait for actual confirmation of something before reacting

Fingers crossed for a good outcome for our club over the next 10 days
