Squad speculation thread 2020/21

Report I read said he was off to WSW?

Burgess would bring so much to our team atm, very different to all our CAM options.

Until he has a sook and decides he wants to move somewhere else and sits out a season

can we really blame him for not wanting to be in melbourne?

Understandable but he did sign a contract there

I hope if true that the contract terms reflect that we signed a player who fell out with his club and sat out the season after his breakout one…

Will be interesting, it’s got Troisi / Ibini / Ziggy Gordon vibes all over it, but if we have scuppered them then yeah it oughta be at a substantial cap saving to ABJ.

It’s not even Melbourne, it’s like living in Richmond or Picton without the natural beauty.

Harps seems to think ALF is coming back…

Does he get anything correct?

He saw Alf’s latest tattoo.

Jesus, the Alf coming back is hitting Janko leaving and cup holder proportions.

I’ve long accepted it’s not happening, was just interesting to hear him drop it so casually in the pre-game yesterday. Every chance he was talking more nonsense than usual though, given they had an extra half hour of waffle to conjure up.

In fairness, ALF probably is coming back to Sydney.
I assume his family stayed in Sydney when he went to India so it makes sense for him to come back here and be with them while planning his next move.
He will more than likely make an appearance at the training ground to see the boys and possibly even train with the squad in order to maintain fitness.
He will not be playing with us this season. That is unless Kosta decides to get mutual.

His family, i believe, are back in the UK…

Well then, that puts a hole in that technicality.

But Kosta mutual you say?

His family are in the Uk and his gram has been full of countdowns until He gets to see them. You never say never with these things, but anyone getting their hopes up is going to be disappointed.

He mentioned the coaching opportunities in CFG on a pod. Its not impossible for next year if we make him marquee but its not happening this year.

There’s no chance of that happening either.
I was more pointing out that one of the designated players would have to get mutual in order for the club to cover Alfie’s wage and went for the like for like option.
