Sounds like a legal firm...
Treloar, Aish and Howe, no win, no charge.
I like it better as Aish, Treloar and Howe

The thing is by bouncing up to 2nd place on the ladder and having so many players having improved years their should be several players from West Coast's best 22 signing contracts for big pay rises.
Gaff and Shuey had some forms of breakout year. McGovern for sure. Veterans like Le Cras and Kennedy probably out played their contracts. Sheppard for sure. Sheed came off his draft contract with a big year. Welligham, Schofield and so on.
The combination of players keen for success, the talk of 'culture' and egalitarian method of player payments and injuries being a big enough risk to get guys to sign in advance but not so big as to ruin most players earning potentials if they don't lock up a good deal seems to undermine the salary.
Well strictly speaking, we've perhaps reached a point where it's a handful of Victorians clubs anchored to the bottom and Queensland probably not being able to sustain two teams. Look I hate to say it, but if 10 years from now and it's still the same teams. It won't be the systems fault, it'll be that the system will work better with less teams.The AFL is getting more and more like the EPL every year !!!
How long before the gap between the top and bottom teams with the help of new and ever evolving scenario of destination clubs and supported by FA, becomes almost permanent.
u seem lovelyWho the **** would want to play for St Kilda?
Who the **** would want to play for St Kilda?
Yeah Nick Riewoldt, Lenny Hayes and Robert Harvey were all held at gunpoint
Frankly you wish you had people like that.

Frankly you wish you had people like that. Crawford was good but Banger was better, Roughead is good but Roo makes him look like a little bitch and well Lewis and Hayes is probably the closest one, then again everyone loved Lenny, not sure too many love Jordan
How many flags in those 978 games...Yeah Nick Riewoldt, Lenny Hayes and Robert Harvey were all held at gunpoint
Why criticise Hawthorn. They are ruthless, they are well run and they get things done.
Unlike the majority of AFL clubs, they don't survive by asking for handouts.
I think they understand it perfectly - it's just not a sexy story.I wish the media would understand that.
If you want to blame anyone, blame Essendon for creating an environment where a player like Carlisle wants out and a team like North Melbourne for agreeing to this farce. Don't blame Hawthorn, they just Ninja'd this s**t.
How did this become North's fault?
We address our needs, and **** the rest of you.
Pick 15 for a kid that has 3 years development in the leagues best developmental environment, and who by all reports was cruelled by injury/illness; yeah farcial that North would want him. Noting that he addresses the known problem we have, a lack of outside pace.
the importance of equalisation is in opportunity, not in outcome
that the hawks are very very very good at what they do in list management is not a "loophole", it is part of being involved in what is supposed to be a sporting competition
Stupid post. Saints won't get Carlisle because they didn't come to the party with a decent offer. It's their own fault.
Hawthorn are smart and pounced with a much fairer offer and Essendon rightfully want to accept that one.
Carlisle never chose Hawthorn, it's St. Kilda's own fault for it coming to this

Whatever let's you sleep at night. North got stuffed on this one. He's a late 20's early 30's pick at best. We'll get Jimmy Toumpas a former pick 4 for around this mark and then you'll realise your pants have been pulled down.

Unwilling to part with no 5 in a direct swap with the Bombers, the Saints are relying on the kindness of strangers. Their plan, obviously, has been to trade no 5 "down" for two draft first round picks, keeping one and handing the other to Essendon. Unfortunately, any plan that relies on third parties is fraught.
What utter nonsense.
Crawford was Harvey's equal.
Roo is a great player but Roughead is probably the best pure utility the game has seen in the last decade, alongside Pav. There is little between them.
And if everyone loved Lenny, and Jordan is less popular then where does that leave Crawf vs Banger? People like Harvey whereas they love Crawf.
Even Crawford himself said he wasn't in the same class as Harvey.

Freo are giving up less for Harley Bennell who was a no.2 draft pick and a genuine star, sure he has some off field issues but he's still an elite player while Jed Anderson is a fringe player that is yet to even establish himself at AFL level. To basically give up pick 15 for him is madness imo.
Even the media are writing garbage about this saying how Hawthorn has handed St Kilda a lesson in how to land a player.

Erm...Earth to Jake, Hawthorn are relying on North as a third party to get their deal done to get Carlisle and are relying on the kindness of strangers too since North are being extremely kind to Hawthorn by agreeing to give up pick 15 for Anderson and pick 41.
The AFL media are a complete and utter joke.
Anderson is contracted.
Few clubs could learn from Crows/Cats/Hawks/North on not how to stuff around, be realistic about the trade situation and get deals done.
