The club dont have to lose anyone. If they get a player who wants to leave and is uncontracted we must let him go but we dont have to offer them anyone.Animal Enclosure wrote:"Under an agreement with the League, the Gold Coast is allowed to sign one out-of-contract player from each of the existing clubs from the end of 2010"Animal Enclosure wrote:I think it is... will check the AFL site. It may be 'every club can lose a maximum of 1 player that they will be compensated for.STILLWAITING wrote:Animal Enclosure wrote:Best news in a long time.
I felt sick when Demetriou stated On the Couch that if we lost Roo we'd be able to get a 2nd round pick.
We will still lose 1 player to the GC... who will it be?
tHIS IS GREAT NEWS, get lost gold coast
Dow we have to still give up a player, is that compulsory for every club
This sounds like one player from each club will be on the move.
Roo re-signs - Great news

It says that Gold Coast is allowed to sign one out of contract player from each club. It doesn't say they have to...Animal Enclosure wrote:"Under an agreement with the League, the Gold Coast is allowed to sign one out-of-contract player from each of the existing clubs from the end of 2010"

Updated article here. Some good quotes from Nick.
Riewoldt a Saint until end of 2013

So....... thanks Nick........ and thanks GT...........
At the risk of opening up old wounds..... that statement for mine has a lot of the ring of GT's mentorship of Nick about it.Nick Riewoldt wrote:Being a one club player was something that the more I thought about, was important to me. I want to stand for something. I am a loyal person and at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know I am a St Kilda person for life. That was something that has heavily influenced by decision.

In fairness, in listening to RL speak, the same conclusion could be drawn re RL's influence. Team-centricity, benefits of a tight-knit group, importance of leaders...etc etc...

Althoug old age is catching up with me, Thomas was a 3 club player. I'd prefer to think it had more to do with Loewe, Burke and Harvey's influence.Thinline wrote:Geez you're brave...Richter wrote:From AFL site..........

With a bit of luck, his signing also means that the rest of our "core" will follow suit.
Go Saints.

Very happy
BUT
I just hope we haven't paid him too much.
And wind up not having enough to hold on to our current playing list.
You need depth as well as stars to win flags.
