Massive news coming out of SE Melbourne.. will announce the expected signings of Gliddon + Te Rangi PLUS an absolute shocker Brock Motum tomorrow morning

Wow Motum. Their Twitter page tweeted '16/07/20' so I was wondering what the announcement would be.

United’s about to become the melbournes second team.

From the rumours what's our predicted ladder? Can Cairns repeat their efforts with two out of their three imports? Can Perth cover for Kays lost? Sydney without Bogut, Lisch?
NZ look super strong, Phoenix look strong with Creek/Motum/Gliddon plus imports, 36ers have Humphries, Brissy looking stronger too.
Will we have 7 very even teams? Will Hawks come to the party with Deng Adel and co?
Hawks would need elite 2 imports, kuminga, bolden, Adel, mcdowell white etc just to be in it.
Going to cost a bit with Creek on good money and Motum not playing for peanuts. Maybe a stud at the point but Pineau did enough last season to trust him in that spot. The 2 would be a bigger need or do they wait to see what's a bigger need as season progresses.
Gibson and Adam can handle the point, get quality 5 man.
Wesley retirement would open up cash for Motum.

Keep in mind this season Creek will be taking a Covid pay cut on his big salary.
Pay cut yes, full amount still counts towards the salary cap, same for Motum, $200k is $400k towards the cap.

Apparently motum is extremely expensive - not within Perth's budget. Make him highest paid Aussie easily?
Motum hasn't signed with the Phoenix, what are you all on about...

Cam Glittershit Gliddon has signed with SEM on a two-year deal.

I'll believe it when I see it. Every year Motum is returning and is linked to half a dozen different clubs. It happened once.
Huge if they could pull it off though

Where is this Motum chat noise from?
Last Tuesday (13 July) Gliddon was listed on Aussie Hoopla's Free Agent Tracker as a 'New Signing', for 2 years with Phoenix (2020-2022).
Motum is not listed there as a new signing with any club, yet. He is listed as 'expected to discuss opportunities' with Hawks and 36ers.
Te Rangi is listed as 'expected to sign with SE Melbourne'.
With all due respect to Dany Boyce, those FA trackers aren't built on much research.
Say what?!!!

Due respect to Dan Boyce? The guy is a untalented wanker!
