Clear in hindsight, however he looked pretty good off hb in 08. Seemed to have a very bright future. He and JWS looked like being a lethal rebounding combination.

Ah yes, I'm sure that the though of a Sydney v Melbourne GF still stirs many a loin at AFL house.
So the choice is to cease existing as a club and move to Sydney for AFL guaranteed success. We may have just as well merged with Carlton back in the late 80's. Any future success would have meant about as much.
It'll be interesting to see what the AFL do to replicate this success for GWS and GC. 6 points for a win maybe.....
It just emphasises how hard we have to work to have any type of success and that we really have to make the most of any opportunity. The AFL will be doing all it can to have Sydney, GWS and GC as perennial finalists. Not many spots left in a final 8....
It does. I was pretty happy with the Black deal at the time given the terms Freo were offering. Now the AB Airbus is grounded, looks like a shitful deal.
What do you do? Stick to 2/3 year deals and watch these players walk ala Greenwood, or sign them up and watch them stagnate or go backwards?

Had a mate who had chance to sell a kidney and decided not to. I remember it as well as my first holiday I ever went to was a Thailand toolies holiday in Bangkok. Now he's having to work 9-5 to make ends meet.

Blatant cheating? You might be forgetting mate.
Unless cheating doesn't constitute tanking, getting fined but reimbursed via AFL grant, never stripped of any players or picks and getting players poached via expansion clubs and FA and but getting nicely overcompensated in the process.
Plus mysteriously finding the huge coin required while struggling as a club to coax a serial job-decliner back into senior coaching.

Please don't mention that club again my interest in all things AFL is declining rapidly, some days I almost wish North relocated so I'd never have to cast an eye over the happenings in the *C.C.F.L.
* Corporate Company Football League.

Well played North?
@sam_mcclure: Dan Hannebery turned down 6 year contract offers at North Melbourne and Richmond and 7 years at Melbourne to stay a Swan for life.
Hopefully we go hard for Motlop or Treloar now. good to know we have plenty of cap space!

How would McClure know what we were offering? Was it common knowledge we were offering 6 years? I didn't know.
He is making that up, Hannebery contracted for another 12 months anyway. So it would be against the the rules for clubs to put in an offer.
This bloke is the one on 3aw yeah?. Gets most of his s**t wrong.

You're not seriously suggesting clubs don't go after contracted players because they are worried about breaking the rules are you?
Where have you been for the last few years bro?
There's no integrity left in the AFL

Perry in Bests again.
With a bung shoulder for most of it too. Spoke to his old man as they drove back from Geelong and his shoulder's fine. Matt Perry's one of three sons of mates, and footy teammates of mine from school days, who's playing in this carnival. He's hoping for a rookie spot (if there is a rookie draft still) and the others (Jack Silvagni and Ben Keays) are looking at F/S and Brisbane Lions Academy selection pics respectively. It's sensational following your mates' kids' fortunes in this era of a clear pathway from junior footy to AFL ranks. I wish it existed back in our day, rather than the path we faced which involved being invited to preseason training based purely on your address and the club you were zoned to.
I get that, but a club isnt going to come out and say we offered 6 @ this price, admitting to offering a contracted player a contract.
But hey you are right, stuff all integrity left in this game so who knows.
I'd be angry if we didn't offer him 6.
Now I'd put a similar deal in front of Parker.
Bennel should be another target along with the obvious one Swallow.

Yep, cast the net wide. If we have learnt anything from this year it's that we lack midfield potency. Need hard running players with the body and skill to break games.
