If Danger goes (just sign the frickin' contract Paddy..) then B Crouch is a big part of replacing him
Of course, having both is even better

They used to send them to me but haven't for a while
Might have something to do with sending the book back unsold

Anyone hear Taylor Walker on Triple M this afternoon? Brad Crouch stitched him up pretty good, he rang in pretending to be a fan named Glen with a son that was disappointed that he tried to get Tex's autograph and Tex was annoyed at them approaching him in public. Tex took the bait and was completely fooled for a while before putting 2 and 2 together. Matty Jaensch tried to join the party afterwards but ended up pissing himself laughing before he could tell his story. Good times.

*points* but it's all the AFL's fault! Don't change Essendon fans, don't change.

I'd say there's no chance the "fraud" allegation will be sustained.
Isn't there a huge waiting list for the silver memberships, so if you didn't take it up, you go to the back of the line..... So if an Essendon supporter were offered one, there is not much chance they would have said no even if they knew about sanctions. And the finals tickets are not the sole benefit of buying one.....

This probably does deserve its own thread (or its own sub-board even?) but the board is a bit cluttered lately so I'll put it here. Enjoy.

I think Andrew Capel needs to thank Emma Quayle for this piece of "inspiration"

Lol.
Thought the board would love this from the "head-to-head" bit of the news article ...

Interesting article by David Schwarz...
CONTRACTS. Front ended. Back ended. Overs and unders.
Other than the finals, this is the main game in town.
Now the silly season has started for 10 AFL clubs, inflated egos and sales techniques of managers come to the fore as disgruntled players quit clubs or clubs kindly march underperforming soldiers out the door.
Clubs invest in players and when their investments don’t hold up to the intended value it is fair enough to be disappointed.
I want to break it down.
Let’s take Travis Cloke as an example.
If the Collingwood forward pocketed the reported $700,000 his contract states, then he earned $20,000 a goal this year.
Nice.
Now Gold Coast captain Gary Ablett has two Brownlows and plenty of runs on the board, but after playing just 21 games in two years his financial return has been pretty poor.
With $1 million a season he’s received $100,000 a game.
Staggering.
For Ablett, as with many other top players, injury can’t be avoided, but when you accept the big money the implications on your absence are huge.
For Carlton to fork out $60,000 to Dale Thomas for every goal he kicked in the past two years at the club looks ridiculous.
Unbelievably North Melbourne has given Daniel Wells $1 million for 14 games and eight goals in two seasons.
When you put it in clear figures, $250,000 a goal sounds extraordinary. I might pull on the boots. I got paid a lot for missing about 100 games so I get it.
Ben Reid has earned $100,000 a game for the past two years at Collingwood.
It’s cost Sydney $12,000 for every Kurt Tippett goal.
Yes, I understand very well that players can still get paid handsomely for not hitting the park, but these massive wages affect the take-home salaries of the undervalued workhorses.
I’d love to see the guys who get “unders” start getting rewarded.
I’ve written in this column about my admiration for Mark Blicavs. He is such a versatile and important player. He would be on $250,000 and his output is extraordinary.
Similarly Tom McDonald from Melbourne was dominating the defence and will be critical as the team continues to develop. I doubt he’d be getting more than $300,000. That price should go up.
At the Bulldogs Liam Picken has lifted his status so high I hope he won’t have another contract as low as the current one.
Under the guidance of new coach Luke Beveridge, Picken has gone from tagger to game turner. He’s a bona fide midfielder now and this new Doggies pack will continue to improve, and so will the financial reward they deserve.
I was disappointed not to see Brisbane ruckman Stefan Martin in the All-Australian 40 released on Tuesday.
HOT DOGS READY TO ROLL
He has brilliant figures and the Lions would have got him cheaply from Melbourne when it punted him. He wouldn’t be on much, and he’s certainly giving the struggling club value for money.
Timing is everything. I understand the complexities that list managers must deal with. Should they front load a contract or back-end it to ensure the potential star stays when he hits his peak. The machinations are endless.
Every club has players overpaid and players underpaid. Unfortunately we can’t give weekly pay cheques depending on performance.

Menzel must be getting about $500,000 a game at least?
