Re: Free agency is a joke.
Free Agency is just a glorified delisting really. All the players that have left have had no offer from there original club shows how they where valued at the club. Except of course for Goddard who was offered an extremely good package by us to stay. However, Essendon came in and gazumped us. Chapl...

Re: Dal Santo - Re-sign or trade him this week.
Could we not over-react a little please? If everyone shoves out their 29 year old A-graders to a team close to winning a flag and a higher paycheque then won't the other good players from that club come on the market and we get them? the never-ending circle will continue Actually what happens is th...

Re: Free agency is a joke.
No we won't. If there is anyone that is really worth going after there will be a number of clubs chasing him. We will not be the most desirable location unless we are paying well over what the Collingwood and Essendon's etc are willing to pay. We will pick up the occasional free agent but they will ...

Given our luck I fully expect him to spontaneously combust within 2 minutes of his first start after kicking 10 3 games straight for Sandy.

Re: Rumour Thread
Do we really need Stevens though? Does he offer any more than Armo or Jack. We are not in a premiership window at the moment and anyone that thinks we are is deluded. If we can get him for a third rounder then fair enough but if he costs more than that then the price is too high in my opinion. So w...

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
A straight swap for Brown is about right but if it's a straight swap for Stevens then it's daylight robbery and we are the ones with our pants around our ankles.
Oh I do love a good mixed metaphor.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Why don't we just offer 24 for Pears and say stick it to the Eagles?
If they come out with a 2nd rounder for Cripps we insist that he is worth their 1st rounder or Brown.

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
There is a major problem with all this talk of Cripps + whatever for Brown. West Coast have stated they don't want to lose Brown and also have given no indication that they have any interest in Cripps whatsoever. The fact that Cripps wants to play for WC is only relevant if WC want him. Can anybody ...

Re: Salopek ??????
Offer Port pick 90+.
They will take it as he is worth nothing as a free agent to them and we don't want to risk watering down our compensation.

Re: FA and Loyalty- article
The problem with Free Agency is that not all clubs start on an equal footing. If it is a choice for a player to go to either Collingwood or Melbourne, the demons would need to offer a much larger salary in the hopes of winning. It has the potential to create a two-tier competition between the desira...

Re: Jamie Cripps-Mitch Brown? !!
Do you really think WC want Cripps? I know he wants to go there but that is not the same. They have just picked up Wellingham a quickish line breaker with good delivery skills. Cripps is a similar player just with less runs on the board. I think he is worth a lot more to us than to them and they wil...

Is it time for us to throw our hands up and say OK we can't get him and turn to North and say how much for Hansen.

Re: Raph Clarke on the move
I wish him all the best but will not be disappointed to see him go. Yes, he has played some great games for us over the years but they have been outnumbered by the shockers. His problem is that he has AFL courage and skills and VFL or below level decision making on the field. That is why he so often...

from all that he has said, he likes to get contracts out of the way nice and early. If he delay's he will be gone, but i'd be very surprised. He is a big believer in "they will pay me what i am worth" plus he would be pretty old for FA, not alot of interest in a 1 or 2 year player... Is e...

Re: If Collingwood get Tippet
Please Collingwood are at the forefront with the dodgy deals. Do you think it was coincidence that Luke Ball's media profile jumped directly he moved to the Pies. Do you think the articles written by some journo in his name was just a bit of luck. Please wake up.
