See, that is an Essendon rumour I believe. He ticks all the boxes:

Injury Prone
Couldn’t get a game in a ■■■■ team
Always been hyped on potential, never performance or substance.

Welcome to Essendon, Lachie Hansen.

And then we get Crameri to top it off also he’s 29 ffs.

Plenty of talent, but doesn’t work hard enough, and often wont do the team things.

I had no doubt he already was a star when Sydney signed him, but he was never the same player again.

That’s the way it has turned out. Happens sometimes.

Front runner for most ridiculous rumour so far:

Bont wants a trade to GWS to play with Kelly. Fk me.

Not sure if Trade Radio can be trusted but they’re reporting that GWS has suggested to both S Mumform and H Shaw that their futures with GWS are limited and that they should explore options elsewhere.

We have talked about that in the trade radio thread. Mumford has bad knees and a foot injury and GWS believes he should retire. His manager felt that he thinks he has one more year. They are all waiting on a medical check up to confirm if he should retire or not.

GWS have basically told Shaw to f-off. They have spoken to him about considering his future and given him a week to respond.

There’s a Trade Radio thread?
