    GWS might be a good fit. Looks like he wants to spend more time in Canberra.

    You have to admit it's strange to declare yourself a bulldog for life in your RETIREMENT press conference, only to move onto a new club a few weeks later!! (Hypothetical view of situation that hasn't even happened of course, and I am not convinced he is going to play for the giants in anycase)
    Your point is well taken. But for a big fist full of quick dollars, I'd happily come out of retirement, no matter who my true club for life was. I might even spend a few bucks from the new contract to take out membership with my club for life, just to ease the conscience

    I thought Michael was out of the game for a year, like Stewie Dew. I could be wrong.

    From wikipedia

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_Michael

    Michael announced his retirement on 5 October 2006 at only 29 years of age.[6]

    After his retirement it was speculated that he wanted return to Melbourne to base himself there while playing football semi-professionally for a local club.

    Comeback

    However, on 24 November 2006, Michael shocked the football community by reconsidering his retirement. To the anger of the Brisbane Lions, he announced that he had been signed by the Essendon Football Club and had reached an agreement whereby he will be selected by them in the pre-season draft for the 2007 season.[7] The decision infuriated the Lions, who believed that Michael had exploited a loophole in the draft to change clubs and they questioned the sincerity of his retirement.

    Yeah I got no issues with it to be honest, I just find it very strange (if it happens)

    GWS are looking like a mix between a TAC Side and the Brisbane Bears circa 1987 retirement longue recruitment policy at the moment. Weird old mix of players.

    i think they are looking for hard bodies for a period of 12 months while they get their 2nd round of uncontracted players...i.e. Pendlebury, Goddard, Mundy etc...end of next year is when GWS will strike....

    Isn't everybody sick of Barry yet?

    Would rather another discussion about Fevola.
    He ate more cheese, than time allowed

    They got Palmer, so they won't be getting Mundy via that concession...

    Someone will probably shoot me, and they'll probably be justified. But I'm in the yes club.
