Mega Thread Oh yeah ... did you know there are 17 other teams? - General AFL discussion #9 - Blues posters only

[Juddalenko]

if Hudson can go on "rookie" list, the league needs to look at changing the name of that list

Too true - to me it makes a mockery of the intent of the system.

Guys, I thought I heard somewhere we may be interested in JOEL Tippett, apparently tore it up in the SANFL this year. Anyone else heard this??

Apparently the ducks are looking at taking both Tippett brothers... if I was the AFL, I would be looking at that one as well.

 

[GoBlues!]

how is the hudson situation work via the salary cap??? he's a "rookie" yet also the collingwood ruck coach

The resident of the luxury Paramount Building, who did not wish to be named, said she was bitten on the thigh by Juddy, in the building's elevator.
"I just said, 'Hello Brynne' and he jumped up and bit me. I was a bit shocked.
"I am not after compensation. (Juddy) needs to be under better control or have some training.''
Edelsten's manager, John Scott, denied Juddy had bitten anyone.

Obviously Chris was not happy upon hearing the news that Hudson's ruck salary could be excluded from Collingwood's salary cap. You've been warned Anderson.

They should have a commissioned a five year old to design their guernsey.

 

[thylacine60]

They did.

Maybe they are using it as a Rorschach test... because I can see a demons head in the blue bit... just under the Toyota logo.

 

[Big Sim]

Wrong...look carefully in beneath the paint vomit and you can see "by Jaiydennh, aged 3"

 

[thylacine60]

Vomit is supposed to symbolize 3 flocks of birds in flight. Maybe in a Pollockian nightmare! Talk about a murder of crows...

Off to GWS for Tippett ..........

https://twitter.com/AFL_PKeane

Kurt Tippett has nominated as an uncontracted listed player for the '12 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft Dec 11, by submitting AFL Forms 40 and 11.

As player Tippett removed himself from the Adelaide Crows’ list, he does not qualify as a free agent, and is part of the Draft player pool.

Tippett has AFL permission to lodge set financial terms for his pay on Dec 3, after the result of Friday’s AFL Commission hearing is known.

Sick of the AFLPA who live in a world of champagne wishes and caviar dreams...

"We believe that if a club contracts a player for two years then they should honour that contract, unless they have grounds to terminate, which is not the case here," Prendergast said.

"We are particularly concerned about the timing of the club's decision, being after the national draft and the adverse impact this will have on Nick furthering his career - especially given the compromised rookie draft due to rookie list positions being reduced by two spots for next season."

A spud is delisted, yet they still crack it and ignore that Winmar can be picked up as a delisted free agent.

Mark Stevens saying Winmar has been denied match payments is hilarious. Hasn't played since 2011.

Ten sacks Kelli Underwood.

Reckon she was pretty good. Not a fan of her match commentary, then again pretty much all match day commentators annoy me, her reports were always thorough.

Would be a good pick up on Fox.

Massive respect for her courage regardless of what her call sounded like.

Unfortunately for her, she just sounded horrible calling a game, hopefully she picks up a gig boundary riding but unfortunately her voice wasn't cut out for running commentary.

Hopefully she has paved the way for more females to get involved in AFL media, just need to look at the females in the US sports media to show that it can work really well.

Spot on. A good reporter but a fingernails on a blackboard (remember them anyone?) voice that just grated. Sometimes our natural attributes aren't up to media requirements, hence the old adage about a good head for radio...has anybody seen Dan Lonergan on Grandstand? He is the epitome of that. Great voice, shame about hte boat race...

Jordan Russell press conference today.

Best part: they show an Aaron Joseph highlight instead of a Russell one.

That's pretty loaded isn't it?

So Caro is saying that Collingwood may have sacked Swan because of poor behaviour?
