IF
 		THEN
 
Adelaide
 		Andrew Jarman wants to compete in the news space...
...he needs better sources.
Brisbane Lions
 		Beams does indeed become a Lion......it's not silly to start talking finals.
Carlton
 		we know one thing upon entering the trade period......it is this: the Blues will not die wondering about who they may attract.
Collingwood
 		one more gun Magpie is let go or decides to walk......it's a crisis. Actually, it already is. Make no mistake about that.
Essendon
 		ASADA does re-offer deals to players, and it almost certainly will......watch this space as some players negotiate on those deals.
Fremantle
 		Frawley, as expected, follows Clark, Cloke and Taylor in rejecting massive Dockers deals......it is proof that money doesn't speak all languages.
Geelong
 		we are to delve deep in analysing the 2014 performance of the Cats......we get more confused by the minute. Could make a compelling case they will be top four next year. And equally compelling that they will miss finals.
Gold Coast
 		McKenna is still coach by the time we write next week's Sliding Doors...
...we will be surprised.
Greater Western Sydney

 		Tom Scully wasn't on a million bucks a year...
...the Giants would be able to properly get involved in the Paddy Ryder bidding. He is, and they aren't able to.
Hawthorn
 		the Hawks win the Grannie......incredibly, they will also have bragging rights over the Cats as the era's best team.
Melbourne
 		Peter Jackson gave up...
...he wouldn't have landed Paul Roos this time last year. Give him 12 months and operation Get Danger could pay off.
North Melbournethe Roos keep getting involved in the chase for big names......given their rediscovered favourable status they will land a quality player.
Port Adelaide
 		the Power land Paddy Ryder, and they are beautifully positioned to do so......it will be the Brad Ottens move to Geelong all over again.
Richmond
 		the Tigers needed more reminding that Matt White is the type of player they need...
...they got it with his well deserved Goal of the Year acknowledgment.
St Kilda
 		there's one thing among its unsuccessful history that this club would undo...... Seaford would not be its home base.
Sydney Swans
 		you take a breath before 2.30pm on Saturday and attempt to analyse the expectation that is on Buddy......you will realise that no man has ever entered a Grand Final under more pressure.
West Coast
 		Priddis' 2015 season is half as good as his 2014......he's an All Australian next year. There will be an over-correction from selectors, regardless of form.
Western BulldogsGuy McKenna isn't safe......Brendan McCartney isn't safe.
