I'd love to know who the DT's 'inside source' at the club is.

Also, didn't the Broncs offer him a tonne of money and he said no

This would be the type of deal that would give this sliding board respect. I highly doubt it, but live in hope. Only real danger Saints, maybe Broncos ditching Seibold

Parra won’t cut Arthur now
Roosters love Robbo
Sharks can’t match us $$

this is THE essential signing.
Forget Ado Carr, bring Grant or B Smith ffs!

1.4 x 3 = 4.2 million...

For a bloke nearing retirement that's a very good top up to his nest egg.

I'd say he'd be more than thinking about it
Fuck it. Make it 1.5 with Bonuses for comp wins. WHATEVER IT TAKES..

You’re probably right. It could be media manipulation by the club to try and entice players to come to the club.
Not a dig at the club in the slightest. No doubt they're searching for new coaches, and no doubt they've spoken about Bellamy. Who wouldn't?

At the same time I don't imagine that they'll get carried away by fantasies either

Wow... imagine he came and brought B Smith as well... he’d fucking kill it as a coach at the dogs.

So who is this Mr Telegraph and how much truth does he speak?
Would Melbourne really be happy to let him leave a year early? Especially if C Smith retires?

If true and announced this year imagine the number of clubs shitting themselves! The Bulldogs, with Bellamy, with a war chest....

#biteback
Maybe Smith will be their new coach?.....

I wish I can get excited but it's the Telucrap.

I'll save the boxes of Kleenex for if and when it happens.

Is this where the lewis to Melbourne rumours started?

We're trying to swap lewis for Bellamy? Good deal. Melbourne should take it

This would be epic!!! Possibly the most important signing we have ever made this could set us up for a decade. Players will want to play for bellyache so we will not have to pay overs he will bring in his people and talent scouts the whole club would benefit from this. C'mon board do whatever it takes to make this happen.

With Bellamy I think we'd sign Munster, B.Smith or Grant and Welch.

Think people get a bit carried away with the thoughts of players following the coach. Do we really think that would happen? I'm not so sure personally.

Without doubt though he'd be a massive drawcard to get whichever players we wanted. And with our apparent 'warchest'

That sort of money is outrageous. Yes he gets great results but we don’t need those coach’s box antics. If changing, Jim Dymock or Griffin on appropriate money.

I know we're all desperate for something like this to be true but why would Bellamy leave Melbourne to join a bottom four team?

If he left wouldn't he replace Seibold at Brisbane where they have way more talent and resources? Plus there are no quotes in this article and it's more pure speculation from the Telegraph.

I'd love for it to be true and it would be a massive signing but I can't see it happening.
