Other than Robert Warnock i can’t see the blue baggers taking part in many other trades this year. Hopefully we get the Warnock trade out of the way quickly unlike Judd last season.

Mick,
That is not a rumour. It is an observation followed by an expression of hope.
I have heard that Marc Murphy is furious at the amount of $$$ thrown at Fevola. Not sure this will amount to him moving on but he is apparently unsigned for next year.

The rumour i heard a while ago regarding Murphy was that his old man is his manager and they are not budging with the figure they want. That wasn’t from any reliable source though. The word i have been getting for the past couple of months from the more reliable sources is that he has been close to signing, i’m not sure why he hasnt though.
I’m hoping its got something to do with luring a big recruit to the club and they’re holding off so they can work out the best way to do his contract (frontloading his pay now so we can afford to keep all our guns in years from now)
