    Clarko stuff is barely a distraction, they have much bigger worries - the biggest being LDU not signing a contract extension.

    He's their best player and the cornerstone of their rebuild. If he goes it sets them back even further as they simply have to add a KPP at either end of the ground as well ASAP.

    I could see Geelong throwing everything at him.

    The Saints are ready to pay up big for a player. Any player. Massive cap space and little class around the ground.
    I expect LDU to be a million dollar player next year wherever he plays.

    It feels like the saints have been throwing $$$ around for years.

    Agree. What about the Grub Brothers who have no problem letting it rip in the coaches box.

    Surely North must win the race to the bottom this year with Richmond being their only challengers.

    Probably their best chance. I would be more confident if it was in Melbourne

    Agreed, West Coast have confirmed that they're going to debut MSD pick Jack Hutchinson who arrived at the club 7 days ago and that indicates to me they're looking for a bit of a miracle.

    Re: North Melbourne

    My best mate loves North, which means given how low stakes all of their games are and how virtually certain it is that we will kick their arse every time we play them I also sort of love North. Really hope they get up this week but also actually nothing good ever happens to them so they probably won’t.
