Wright Away
Cancelled
Yeah that'd be a fringe benefit.Hypothetical.
Would it be wrong for a club to get a player into university? To pay for their tuition and tutoring along the way?

Prob correct but the brown paper bag stuff can only do so much. To come up with another X Million you'd have to do better than an internship.AFL only do something about it when they have to (ie. When a scandal becomes public). There'd be lots of brown paper bags/cars/internships going on behind the scenes.

Haha snap.Malphi (spelling) is Hutchy!!! Who just heard Hutchy on 5aa?
Blame his ghostwriter for being lazyI'm just wondering why Graham Cornes can't write after 15 years in journalism.
Yes he said fagan needs to "manage expectations" and "if we're lucky we may get a second round pick if Geelong feel generous" (along with the afl compo pick). Geelong will not trade for dangerHaha snap.
More of a skeleton writer for Cornsey.Blame his ghostwriter for being lazy
Hutchy rekons if we match no one will pick him up, and he'll get to Geelong in the draft. Just passing on what he said, don't shoot the messenger .Does he believe GWS will just give up Treloar for a 2nd rounder?
Collingwood/Carlton/Essendon will be rubbing their hands together on this sort of talk.Did anyone just hear fat hutchy on 5aa? I swear he is a Geelong poster on BF. Swears the cats won't give anything up and guarantees he will get to Geelong in the draft!

I know right!Did anyone just hear fat hutchy on 5aa? I swear he is a Geelong poster on BF. Swears the cats won't give anything up and guarantees he will get to Geelong in the draft!
Haha can u really see Patty risking Melbourne and Brisbane. Absolutely zero chance he goes in the draft. Zero chance he gets to Geelong if he does.
Very interesting trade period coming up if Geelong have the same attitude. I like our hand.
We picked up Carey in the draft I think after he spent a year out.so another question, if PD goes into the draft and Brisbane pick him up. he then decides to quit footy because he doesn't want to go up there. what then?
If it is the 800K 5 year deal, does that mean he will have to negotiate to get out of the contract early or does a year off void him of all that stuff. then how does he get back into the system, is it through the draft again?

Agree that sounds "fair" but this is the afl and when have they been fair. I think a minimum is 2 first round picks. Number 9, and 2016 first round.Traded for pick 2 if I remember correctly?
Excuse my intrusion but you guys should be getting at least 2 first rounders and a first 22 player in return for Dangerfield.
**** Geelong.
Just saw Brad Crouch at West Lakes. Still in a moon boot! We need that foot more than ever next year to replace danger.
He isn't legally compelled to sign a contract with Brisbane, but can't play in the AFL next year unless he does. He could then nominate for next years draft as can anyone else, and take his chances. The only sure way of getting to Geelong is to stand out for 3 years then sign on as a category B rookie for 30 odd grand a year!so another question, if PD goes into the draft and Brisbane pick him up. he then decides to quit footy because he doesn't want to go up there. what then?

Yep leave the moon boot on until the warmup in round 1 next year.I rather be safe than sorry with Crouch
I dont know if this has been posted yet.
