Doesn't need to

Stayed over for a couple of days after NAB 1 to spend time with family.

Got on the plane, re-routed to Brisbane. Dayne Beams, Miranda Kerr and a contract waiting outside the terminal in a limo.

 

[youngbear]

He'll announce his retirement tomorrow and request a trade to Geelong in several months

 

[Flyswatter]

we have serious issues. emotional baggage. abandonment fears.

It left you. Went looking for a better class of alcoholic.

GWS needed it more than you do.

 

[Supermercado]

Here we go, 1) Trains indoor today due to 'soreness', 2) Rested on Saturday, 3) In the rehab group Monday.

 

[markm106]

Not surprised if Hogan was actually sore. First game for about 12 months and played extremely hard against Freo. Anyway I bloody hope his not injured!

Great to hear Angus Brayhaw will re-sign till 2018, watched a fair bit of him in the TAC last year.
Congrats on the selection with him and Pet
Two AA in a few years i reckon

Beat me to it. Another season with this sh@t hanging over our heads. See ya Howey

As entertaining as Howe is I don't see him as a vital part of our 22 going forward . If the rumors of GWS offering pick 7 for him are true I cannot beleive the club didn't take it. ExcEllent news R.E Brayshaw though.

 

[Cannon82]

Yep. Would like to see the stats on players who have put contract talks off until the end of the season. Anyone stayed after having a season mulling it over waiting by the mailbox?

Sorry to jump in again but GWS offered that deal with 30mins left in the trade period after cats decline the steve j trade
if it was at the start of the trade week i reckon melb would have pulled the trigger

 

[Dez!]

Howe will stay.

IIRC Cloke is the only one in the FA era. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone who was unsigned at seasons end that didn't leave.

Ahhh, the notoriously loyal Cloke clan. If he's the yardstick, we should be able to keep Howe for a cool 800k per season.

 

[Dory_77]

Dusty? Even shopped himself around.
Boak? (At least for part of the year he put them on hold right?)

 

[Cannon82]

I think Martin was keen for a move but seemed like no one wanted to take the punt on him, which is strange. Always thought there must have been something strange going on behind the scenes there. If Brisbane are happy to take in a reprobate like Robinson, you'd think a much more talented boob would have been worth a look in.

I can't recall with Boak. Something about Geelong and that's about all that comes to mind.

While not a FA Watts stayed after not signing till seasons end and I'm sure Pav did a few years ago too.

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Boak changed his tune after Port axed Primus from memory
