Haven't opened the HS site since their paywall went up and I don't miss it.

Aaah but you have TV and radio there and other options that give you your footy fix.
When you're in the footy wilderness, you have to read whatever you can get.
My dad used to subscribe to 'Truth', which if you're too young to remember, was a rag of the first order but had a great sport section in among the nudes and 'heart balm.'

Many clubs are sceptical about the Judd deal.

"I think Carlton still ran the risk with Juddy," Nisbett said. "It was a pretty fine line, but in the end Chris wanted to go home and he was looking for the best deal.

"(Manager) Paul (Connors) was always confident with it and pursued the Carlton deal. You get a bit annoyed with that stuff, but it happens. Chris had already informed us he was leaving."

Clubs blown out of the water by the Judd-Visy deal had expected the AFL would knock it on the head or force a portion inside the salary cap.

Peter Bell to Fremantle about 10 years ago was all sorts of dodgy too.

From memory, the "other" deal involved the easiest law degree obtained outside of the internet and a McDonalds franchise or two also..

Curious that of the 80 or so 3rd party deals that the only one they "estimate" the details of is the Visy deal.

Well it's great to see that the good folk at the age would never stoop as low as the HUN Neanderthals...
