Good rant Grock. Need to add a few more points for any Cat Lurkers.... 3a. You were being polite. Stuff the distance...not all of us work in the CBD...many of us travel...and Metrail sucks compared to V/Line 3b. Buy a ticket, do what we did, come to the game, then it isn't 65/30, 70/25 7. Some...

Gee gone for a week and a bit and here's another thread of 90 pages! In catching up, I read that we apparently offered Dusty $750k for 3 at the start of the year. Is this legit....the sauce is good?

Danger is better than Selwood, Hawkins is better than Menzel...changes are even. Duncan and Buzza vs Stanley and Motlop...meh. The Cats are fielding a team as strong as they did last weekend vs the Swans...and I recall they were very confident, even tho the Swans have fine form, given their...

Agree with this...if the 22 we put on the park trust themselves, each other and the game plan...then we would have lineballed the Cat's best 22. Margin would be nice but we should expect to control this game and begin building our mindsets for finals pressure. No excuse whatsover...just go get...

It's not for me to say how strong that guarantee is. The only guarantee I can trust with your mob is uncertainty...GC, Ballarat, Tassie...see the pattern regardless of who is president? One day I spose it will get sorted once and for ever...until the following year. But yeah...Crutchy is a wank!

So he wants lolnorf to pay 20% of its cap to 1 bloke...outstanding!!

Might I spose. I was thinking his last 2 taper years reflect his capacity (the cap will probably grown another 50% by then, maybe more). I think it's more his decision actually...we don't have to derisk his career...he needs to ponder if/what he can get somewhere down the time track. He is a...

I always try to put a few numbers to a problem. Tiger offer is $7.2m for 6. He is then 32 I think. 2 year taper at $750k each =$8.7m vs $1.5m for 5 at lolnorf. $1.2m is the delta...he has the back 3 years to earn it. Stay at RFC with mates, quality people, success probable* and a club that has...

Baldrick...lol legend!

Actually Goldy, he is already set for life...$1.2 from us for 6 years, taper until he retires, then $300k out of the FD for x years. Add some clip of the ticket razzamataz from being a Charlie winner (once, maybe more) and boom tish. He needs to enjoy his footy now...achieve good goals...last...

Fair enough Goldy. I reckon it will be a silent suitor that gets him if he is in fact going. None of the desperados.

Rod, I will see you the Dons and raise you the Dogs & Blues. He's not going west or north IMO...we know he has a dad in NZ, but I read once he has a mum as well...Bendigo I believe. He would be mad as a cut snake to bother about #lolnorf & the Saints will always only win 1..just the universe...

Time to get some respect, no longer be the "feel good" story of the year. Nail these guys, put the red line through them, finish their year...and let all the wannabees know we are stepping up a gear. A brief look back over our EF losses has shown our H&A form doesn't cut it under finals...

Hope the Match Committee consider Townsend for this weekend...plonk him on the HFF and tell him to make Sicily feel every touch he gets. Eventually he will lose the plot and get himself reported. Once that's done, head over to the other HFF and do the same to the grumpy old good bloke...and we...

Lol this is the Pell thread mate. One day Gale will have his own thread...I utterly hope it will be accompanied with one or two big dance wins.

Agree. Very obvious to me. Should never have come to this...his personal guilt or not is irrelevant...he should have been stripped of this role last year on either of 2 occasions...when the 500 pot was (& had to be) announced or when he said he was too crook to come back to the RC. As effective...

Sorry Doc, forgotten how to tag. And I wasn't having a shot, I'm chewing the fat. It's a topic worthy of debate. Yup true anyone can. But only a select few are lauded for that support. If the club hadn't considered him an eminent person, how did he get the gig in the first place? The list of...

Dunno Doc...the Club seems to have zero problem putting its shoulder behind the wheels of female equality, cancer awareness foundations and the like. It could also step up and remove any links to organisations found to have caused massive personal and social trauma. All in or all out.

True, he will be personally either guilty or not soon enough. But his organisation is a failure & he has zero professional credibility. I see no reason he should be an Honorary Representative of our club

I never heard anything about him personally Baz...but geez Best & Ridsdale...I played footy with a few St Paul's lads. It comes down to these joker's putting Canon Law ahead of Australian Law...the pure arrogance of them..."forgiving" fellow members of possible actions that Mr Joe Public has to...

Well I was raised a catholic in Ballarat and went to St Pat's...we all knew stuff back then. The club should of quietly canned him last year anyway...not because the jungle drums were all over his personal investigations...moreso because the Australian organisation he was #1 head man in had...

That's very true of course...nobody knows the contract in/outs. He no doubt is on some mix of retainer, performance & bonus. Doesn't really distract tho from what I have been put forward tho...its ok to have expectations of him and if he was to be paid circa $4m...what would his KPI's be? I...

Sorry its taken me this long to get back to you Loin. I don't get the chance to post here as often as I used to in the past. So...after re-reading our exchanges to this point...you have raised all sorts of side issues, put words into my mouth, backslid when you could and finally felt you had...

I see your points also Ace...not Prestia's fault that the FD handed over Pick 6 for him. There are 2 questions here to ask...#1 to every bloke on our list - what are you being paid and what do we expect of you? #2 FD - why did you choose this player instead of the alternative? I am expecting...

Fair point RT. There is another angle that I didn't put forward...which is...perhaps we have discounted his contract knowing his first year wasn't going to be flash...perhaps he is a 5 year $900k operator but we shaved $500 because he needs to get up to speed. If this is the case, then he is...

Time will tell CP...I'm not thinking he is a bust...he has a 5 year contract to deliver a body of work that justified the FD paying him $4m...I will be very pleased if he does accomplice good things. This next 6 weeks will be a perfect opportunity for him...we are 2 games clear of the Druggies...

Morning Kiwi! Lol actually I was having a crack at Mug (see how I didn't use his first name, it would have annoyed him)...he didn't really add anything to the discussion, did he? And yep, we haven't seen eye to eye on a few things, but my #2331 post wasn't a go at you personally at all. I kinda...

Lol we are indeed...seems the FD that selected Conca over Heppel and Lennon over Cripps and Yarran from the Blue Magoos missed that earlier memo as well huh? Bringing in injured footballers. And so lets run this fellow into fitness huh for our tilt? Lol seen our last 6 matches...I got my fingers...

This is not a "suck and see", nor is it an argument...its simple bang for buck. The FD traded our #6 2016 draft pick (with all the upside & downside that comes with it) to the Suns and got a player back (who has been very much in the system) that it negotiated to pay $4m over 5 years. This is...

Still not sure what your position is here. Surely when somebody comes to the club pulling $4m we collectively ought to have expectations...this isn't a 67 speculator...or a swap between 20-50...this is Pick 6 @ $800k. So the FD apparently are using his first year to run him into fitness and...
