Can someone explain to me?
why a club moving on means players need to leave? why does a club need to be seen to be honouring a players giving by 'letting them go' why is Honouring a player not seen as being committed to them in staying.....
why can't the moving on be at the club they are at- they will not be younger anywhere else?
they say stay for one and leave for another ....... in same situation...
BTW NDS has a contract and both sides have reinforced that every time asked...
oh well It will now go on all year because a journo or two say so-- and a supporter or two want instant access and expect loyalty but are willing to discard ...

Re: Can someone explain to me?
Footy is different these days. Clubs will use players and get all they can out of them then spit them out when they are done. No loyalty. Players play for each other not the jumper. Free Agency reinforces new-age footy culture.

NDS is officially listed as a restricted free agent with the AFL… can't expect people not to speculate.

Who's staying who's going? If peers go who educates young players? You are allowed to be a 1 club player #360 confused.

If we got McGuane i will spew up. Might mark it but cant kick it. Average footballer. Why are we after tall forwwards all of a sudden. Are we saying we stuffed up on White and Lee already.

The suggestion from the media that cos the club is no longer challenging for finals and flags the old warriors like Dal Santo should be traded.Toy Saint wrote:Still got no idea what this is about, and like P66 I havn't had a drink either

Reasonable suggestion. Wouldnt do it myself. Easily explained though.

Re: Can someone explain to me?
Call me a sentamentalist, but I'd prefer our warriers to retire as one club players. It sadens me to see Ball & Goddard in enemy colours.Old Mate wrote:The suggestion from the media that cos the club is no longer challenging for finals and flags the old warriors like Dal Santo should be traded.Toy Saint wrote:Still got no idea what this is about, and like P66 I havn't had a drink either

Re: Can someone explain to me?
AFL360, Gerard and the fat guy suggested Dal should move on next year to stagger the retirement of our depth all at once.
Mentioned Lenny, Roo, Joey and Dal as the backbone. I'm not saying Dal should go, but if he and the club decided it would be mutually beneficial, and a decent trade could be made, why not?
AFL is a professional sport and sentiment doesn't come into it, except for the supporters.

Re: Can someone explain to me?
Bernard,
Yes sport is professional. There's not a lot of emotion between player and club but there is between player and player. You only need to watch the BJ interview after the Dons game for confirmation. So yes sentiment certainly comes into it. They are not punching away on their computer in an office. AFL is not an ordinary job. Its players, or work collegues going to battle with each other.
IMO Goddard left cos he was not wanted by the club. Dal Santo staying comes down to the same factor.

Re: Can someone explain to me?
If dal goes we could offer buddy about 2 million !
Next year with the retirements of some players and our older players like riewoldt being on the veterans list , meaning half his pay will not be counted under the salary cap .
We should have absolute shiploads of money to spend , this year the cap is 9.13 million , next year it may be slighty higher .
I think we would struggle to reach the 92% that you have to pay even if next year we get a high priced recuit !

Re: Can someone explain to me?
St Byron while money certainly played a factor it was not the only reason. The club low balled him giving him little option.
Dawson is a different kettle of fish. He was a joke and had little respect amongst the playing group. He wanted a fresh start.

Re: Can someone explain to me?
Only Dal and his family and manager, know the truth about his form slump.
If he feels listless and jaded, from being in 3 GFs without the chockies, and thinks that the current climate at the club is not helping him, then a change would be win-win.
If you aint happy at your workplace you should look elsewhere.
Fresh start.
Sad to see him go but if he wants to leave, then we should get something good for him.
