2014 non Freo games

Looks like McCartney gone. That's going be one hard job to take on.

If Tom Lonergan accepts the Western Bulldogs reported offer of $500'000 a season over 3 years the Bulldogs will offer Pick 27 to Geelong for the Key Defender according to the Herald Sun.

dogies are mad - he is old and has 2-3 years in him not in the cup window.

now it will be interesting to see if griffen stays ... i am not a fan of a high profile player (essentially) putting a club at ransom

Good player, but as you said won't see them to a premiership.

 

[Purpletown]

Eagles must be annoyed that Nic Nat has been named. Playing an injury prone player in the most meaningless sporting event ever.

The selectors were short of one round ball each for the Australian players to practice kicking with so picked NicNatNoStat as he probably wont get a kick anyway.

They're insane to try and keep Griffin. He should be punted now for two picks if GWS are willing to give them

Agree about Griffen, should have pushed him out the door. The post however, was about the WB going after Lonergan. We think it is pointless because at 29 he is unlikely to see them through to a premiership. Seems odd.

they said lonergan was close to McCartney ... i guess that deal might be off

Oh yeah but they get to keep Griffen i wonder if Higgens went for money, premiership or because of McCartney

 

[Taylor]

They said Griffen was actually going to be paid less under the GWS contract... so maybe we are in with a sniff..

 

[Nickos66]

WB are now officially a rabble - tail wagging the dog, but now the tail's gotta go too.

McCartney will be rolling in job offers by the end of the week and have a new role elsewhere by the end of the month. The youngsters love him, the seniors bar Morris & Murphy were nurturing a bad culture, they just blew their chance at redemption, watch for some of the kids wanting to leave now IMO.

Don't want

 

[strobe00]

Don't want

I do. Would become our second best mid.

 

[clogged]

Don't want

Wut.

 

[ImperialPurple]

McCartney to GC I reckon.


And Griffen would be awesome... but we need a bloody KPP (even a back up in the 22-25 age range) before another mid - even a really good one like him.

Yeah that's the feeling I get. The club being run by the senior players, not the coach now. I mean you finished 14th, maybe it's time for some hard truths.

Yeah fair comment. He might like Ross so we wouldn't have to worry if everything wasn't exactly as he wants it.

 

[apuchar]

Reports Joel Patfull's move to Greater Western Sydney is on the way and will soon be made official. Speculation the Giant's pick No.21 could go to the Lions. More as it comes to hand.

he will never be captain ... so nothing to worry about

Not sure he was the right selection for captain at the WB either. From the outside looking in, he doesn't seem to be the type.

They had Newman before didn't they? He seemed to ooze captain.

Talk that Cooney is being looked at by North.

 

[Nickos66]

WB should work out a deal with Griffen for Jaksch, pick swaps etc.

north is hitting this window hard
