Wouldn’t this be fixed through an odd extra pick at clubs that benefitting from the system

Are you suggesting we should try to secure his services?

How would we even get him?

I'm told he wasn't there.

Ppl on the FB groups claiming they are there are saying he was *shrugg

He came didn’t he?

Can’t say I like it. Feels petty to me.

But we’ll drive a hard bargain to arrive there

Asking respectfully but haven’t you repeatedly expressed concern about trading out any picks this draft?

This seems off brand for you

Seems like a risky proposition as WCE are just spitting out coaches lately… Wouldn’t be my first choice if I was trying to make it as a career coach. I wonder if Mini accepts this and figures it may be an opportunity he may not otherwise get. Either he succeeds and makes a name for himself or I bet ...

I heard today we have offered #43 for McCrae and #44, with us taking his full salary. WB want #43 stand alone. If (if) this is factual, it represents the true nature of the deal, a win / win. Doesn’t make a lot of sense for #43 alone. Surely this would mean that they absorb at least half his salary...

They're talking about us giving up a future 2nd rounder for him. No chance. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/department-of-trade/afl-trade-news-rumours-whispers-2024-carlton-north-melbourne-leading-contenders-for-dan-houston-offers-deal-blues-want-gold-coasts-pick-12-how-st-kilda-gets-deal-done-for...

Thanks to everyone who has suggested ideas for an SS honour roll and PM’d me with ideas. I’m going to run with this shortly. Unfortunately I’m laid out at the moment having just gotten back from England following a 3 week “holiday” and getting Covid on the flight back. Nicest thing about the whole t...

At 28yo, he’d effectively replace Campbell on the list

I do tend to agree with Dud in that I don’t really u/s why he’d want to come to us to still be second fiddle… I guess he wants to live in Melbourne?

If he comes cheap I guess it’s like for like

Sydney’s endless concessions and free passes have riled me for an age.

At least Brisbane are there on merit

Got to watch the last 10min on my flight home last night (have been in England). So happy to see Geelong skittles out like that

Best thing that’s happened to me all week

Personally, I’m backing him in

So it was posted a while ago that he wouldn’t be offered another contract (though it didn’t come from the club so I was dubious)… and he’s survived the first round of cuts. As far as I know, he’s still not contracted so my gut tells me that as a footballer that seems ready to play now (body not with...

Tend to agree with most… if this is a possibility then pay the cost to make it happen.

We have draft picks to get elite players… if we rate him, trade them to get an elite player

To be honest… if I went after anyone, it would be Cerra.

His stocks seem as low as they’ll ever get so it’s a reasonable time IMO.

Word is… just from social media know it alls, an announcement is imminent and that both he and the club will figure out some type of deal for his last year

I reckon they might be setting Morris up. He'd be stupid enough to take the bait. There’s a wrestling ‘reporter’ (WWE etc) called Dave Meltzer who would send out a newsletter with inside goss, editorials, reviews back in the day. It wasn’t very objective and tended to favor those that spilled beans...

Cannot give up this years first 3 draft picks or next years first pick for anyone over 23yo Do not compromise the future for the now - never do that If we could get a Zac Merrett or the like for a third round pick, or as a FA Then yes - but not for early picks 100% I really like him but you’ve hit ...

Wow, just wow. Talk about the most talented list that continues to spectacularly fail. I wonder if there’s anything to raid here Tom Green is 23 and a beast. I like him a lot and he is the type of mid to throw big cash at Peatling is well documented. 2 goals tonight but only 10 touches. At 24, it’s ...

Does anyone know if Crouch will actually retire cs waiting out his contract?

By all accounts he’s cooked regardless… am just wondering if we can pay him out now and replace him on the list.

I feel like we need a SS honour roll for those gone way too soon …those that brought so much joy and fun to this site over such a long time This fella right up there Oooh I like this a lot. If anyone has an idea for what this might look like, please post it or PM me. I’d like to make this happen

I don’t get the issue and am even more miffed by the connection to violence. Ginnivan mouthed off to throw Port of their game Port won and Hinkley stuck it to the man And there’s a little personality and rivalry in the game that’s been missing from AFL since the early 2000s. It’s just words. Harmles...

Awww

I noticed he wasn’t posting lately.

Got to interact with him more as a mod. An intense but quite funny forumite that I thought was very sweet.

I feel deeply saddened and can only wish the best for the family

Wild if true. Like North, WCE appears to be where coaches go to die these days.

If I was Mini, a stint at the Saints with the longer term view of taking over from RTB is what I’d be looking at
