.....it's quite amazing to see that after Dermie has voiced a few opinions that many on here don't agree with, that he's branded a clueless hack when it comes to anything regarding football. Sure, he may be way off the mark here and is probably upset about his mate getting the boot, but Dermott is o...

I require 3 tickets to the match and would love to attend the pre game function, always love heading over to Perth.

Can anyone help me out?

.....what was he given $6,000,000 over 5 years? $5,000,000 over 6 years?

What ever it was, the offer was way too good to pass up, I would've left as well.

I always take professional athletes saying they've lost weight with a grain of salt.

We assume they mean they've dropped weight from the previous years playing weight, when more often than not, they packed on 10 kg's in the off-season and have managed to drop some of it during pre-season training.

.....I still don't understand why people seem to think there's any chance of this kid slipping to pick 3, it's not happening, he's clearly the #1 pick!!!

.....let's say GWS had no intention of taking Boyd @ pick 1 and since we were trying to make a deal with them to secure that pick to draft Boyd, why wouldn't they have taken an offer Pick #3 + Pick #18? That would give them picks #2, #3 & #18, so they'd gain an extra player @ pick #18 and still ...

Collingwood broke into Morrabbin and stole our game play in 2010. Sigh.... That was actually true someone stole all the lap tops with our game plans. It wouldn't take a genius to work out; Option 1 - Kick it to Riewoldt Option 2 - Kick in near Riewoldt Option 3 - If Riewoldt's on the bench, kick it...

5:00pm today.

Sure we've lost Goddard & Dal Santo within 2 seasons, but we'll be compensated for it.

We'll look back on this in a few years time and smile, because there will be another team that loses 2 star players within 2 seasons, but wont get compensated for it.

Put it this way, if you were GWS, would you make that trade?

Anyone who says they would, is lying!!!

.....St Kilda can still activate the trigger clause in Dal Santo's contract, meaning North would be required to work a trade with us to secure Dal's services, thus eliminating North's low ball contract offer to Dal, that would only yield us a band 3 compensation pick. Is all of the above correct? Or...

.....people don't understand, back in '09 & '10 we only had a part timer in our recruiting department.

We now have 4 full timers I think?

I'm just going on memory of what Nettlefold said to a group of us a few months back.

I think we should just tell North to go jump.

Keep Dal Santo and possibly take Delaney in the PSD.

.....I've heard that Tom Mitchell didn't originally want to go to Sydney under the father-son rule, but the offer they gave him was too good to refuse, $500,000 in his first season, then $50,000 per year for the next 2.

So if that's true, then that frees up $450,000 for next year & the one after.

That'd be right. Whenever its convenient.

It's not talk, it's a fact.....noticed it when I was up there at the Saints v Swans game this year.

Isn't it the same as Roberton last year? GWS delist him and then he becomes a delisted free agent, anyone can sign him if they can get him to agree to a contract. Our pick in the Pre-Season Draft is ahead of them, so let's say his asking price was $200,000 per year, over 3 years and we agreed to it...

Why do we need to trade for Bruce? He wants out and isnt contracted - can someone explain this to me please! If he doesn't sign and becomes a delisted free agent then everyone gets a crack at him. I'd be worried that Collingwood or Hawthorn or whoever approaches him at that point and sways him with...

Collingwood could end up with Adams for Shaw & J White for a 2nd or 3rd round pick according to afl.com They always seem to win out in trades. Let's hope Melbourne aren't silly enough to give them pick 2 for Shaw (&10), surely not. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-30/giants-want-leader-sh...

"An AFL club requires $50 million per year to run efficently, we're working with $33 to $34 million per year."

Those are not my words, they're Michael Nettlefold's just over a month ago.

.....I would think, you assuming that "Coon" was a reference to a dark skinned AFL player, is racist in itself.

.....Nettlefold told a small group of about 30 of us in Sydney, that we can only afford to pay around 95% of the salary cap, due to our current financial state. How much does he earn again - $750,000 PA ? He is probably getting paid in line with other clubs CEO's, but isn't it amazing how these sup...

Dangerfield /Crouch /Sloane are the 3
