ITK's?????

Just caught up on this post and seems there is a real distaste for me stating our presentation to Shiel was poor.
Let me give you some facts, it was poor in the sense that we offered him the most money and some $3.5m more than Essendon and let me assure you we ran last in the 4 club pitch process.
Shiel was considered mid year to be joining Hawthorn then it was a close call between Essendon and Carlton in the end.
We ran last even though we had the most money on offer.
Our club is really hard sell at the moment given our performances, our lack of big games, our overall financial position, and our long history without success.
Other facts I can guarantee you, Richo wasn't at the pitch.
I am not Mark Fine nor Molly Meldrum.
And yes I am disappointed and frustrated where our club is at right now.
I apologise if my opinion offends people however I also give facts about what I know and see and hear and if you don't want them shared happy not to.

I don’t know how you find out we were last. Does Shiel announce the results? Essendon got him, the other three didn’t.

A great example of free thinking. Everything Jaxons states is of his own creation. To put his post into context his thoughts and opinions could be typical of an employee or disgruntled employee, doesn't make them factual or absolute.

You are correct but does it really need to be said.

If you (not specifically you CM) believe everything you read online at face value, PM me your CC details and I’ll send you some magic beans.

Take our good friend SCSO... apparently he is Lazer Vidovic. I have no way of knowing if that’s true.

Tony seemingly works at the club... He might dislike someone and post a bias view of that someone.
How could I know what his agenda is good or bad.

Yep - our presentation to Jordan Murdoch was sub par.
He is obviously being diplomatic but this is a problem.

Let me tell you we really wanted Murdoch, god knows why but we did.
But to get beaten by the Suns in the selling of a club to join underlines where we are at.

Underlines where we are PERCEIVED to be at!

Ask North Melbourne how quickly perception changes.

So why did Hannerbrey and Kent come?
We must have impressed them and our pitches were obviously very good...because they actually were.

Out of interest (not winding you up Ted) how many other clubs offered Kent so Hannebery a contract?

Hannebery was contracted at Swans and Kent may or may not have received a contract from Melbourne if he stayed.

Did either of these two have multiple offers to consider like Shiel or Murdoch?

Agree Murdoch would probably have taken Suns solely on tenure and dollars. Similar to why Hannerbery & Jent came to us.

[Dave McNamara]

So, an extra $3.5 million(!) was not enough to entice Shiel to join us instead of the Drugsquad...?
And The Sons of Beaches were more appealing to Murdoch than us...?

That's says one hellova' lot.


And the fact that we were prepared to offer Shiel sooooo much $$$ (plus gawd-knows what in the way of over the top prime draft picks)... is bloody scary!



Btw, our presentations to Shiel and Murdoch (and previously, to the likes of Kelly, Martin and Gaff) were clearly sub-standard amatuer hour stuff.

If we were fair dinkum in wanting to convince these blokes of our magnificentness, then how come Teddy wasn't our frontman???

Why are we being judged by whether a 'not to intelligent footballer' wants to join us ? Offer them a reasonable contract then walk away. If they prefer another club fair enough. Don't get caught up in the bidding war.

You must have missed it, we lost the Shiel prelim and were the away team.

Preferable the former. Nothing to do with footy, everything to do with the size of peoples egos.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
If I say we are taking him definitely I will be chastised for releasing information.
It is also very dependant on who goes before our pick as one of the Top 3 may slip through and then the landscape changes.
Was asked the question what we are doing with our pick and answered accordingly, and would be remiss of me to declare it a certainty.

There is so much bulls*** in this post it defies logic!! So you know we ran last do you?? how, did Dylan or his management send through a score card??? and Essendon offered 3.5 mil less that we did? How do you know that, did they send through his contract? Or are you just guessing. Facts my arse
