Toby Green taking a 6 year deal for 6 years takes a big chunk out of their salary cap...

ow much per annum.

This is fair

Anyone thinks Watts can’t play is just a very poor judge of a player

Whether he can play isn’t the question, but his confidence and in turn his physical desire can waver.

Good jack is a fine player, but other Jack’s are available

I thought they all went to St Kilda.

Whoops - rumoured to be $1M pa for 1st 4 years, but then less in the last 2.

Is Freo ever a big draw.
If I was a port supporter I’d want to be there when the team beats a genuine top 8 team. That’s when you’d know your team is actually on the up.
They know that the supporters will want to see some green shoots of growth first before they return in numbers. Last year was not convincing.

We got more people to attend for for our game against the Dockers where it was pissing down with rain than the Power did for their final against the Eagles last year.

Does anyone else find it amusing that all these star players at interstate clubs are getting god father offers from Vic clubs but the interstate clubs can barely afford to keep the players they've got.

There goes any glimmer of him signing with the Crows. You'd either stay with the Eagles or go for the money at this point in time.

You'd think itd be St.Kilda, Collingwood or North... they're the only clubs that could really deliver that sort of cash im guessing one of those 3 will land Lynch if he leaves (and I think the AFL will offer a god farther deal to stay at the Suns.. if he leaves that club is finished)

The list is long ... there were two PAPs accused of sexual assault and they settled out of court.

It was rape.

He'll stay with the Eagles ......always was

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Likely, but it is always nice to dream.

This mornings herald sun reporting on Hardwick's re-signing and he's said he'd love Tom Lynch and they have the cap space for him.....

How is that possible considering Martin's contract size?

..."and when you sign, you can buy this lovely Vic house for $300,000. ...Oh and by the way, in a few years time Jo Dodgey will buy it back from you for , let's say, $1.3mill? How does that sound?"

That’s a Bloody lot for an I’ll disciplined bone head. A few raised eyebrows amongst the team mates if true.

Exactly.

....But he makes my team all day every day....when he's not suspended that is. (the sniping wayward face-punchable annoying campaigner)

I love the smell of tax fraud.

Sam Naismith does his ACL

Massive loss for Sydney

Joe Dodgey? Didnt he have a big hit with Shaddup You Face

 

[mistylake]

Exactly.

They showed the kick in the face to Richmond player yesterday. How anyone could back him as that being accidental is beyond me.

 

[1970crow]

I think it stems back to no Aboriginal representation on the AFLPA.
Then some opinions got thrown around and then it grew from there as to whether it's ok to hold some opinions.

Really, I was involved early but had no idea that the opinion convo was related at all.

 

[Bay62]

Yeah feel sorry for him

No sympathy for Sydney. Tippett gone, down on ruck stocks. Hope they feel they got their money’s worth

There's not too many non-key forwards that are under 25 and have averaged 2 goals a game in the last 2 years. Add to that the fact that he can play midfield and you can see why GWS were keen to hang onto him (provided he can stop doing stupid shit on the field).

I was on my way, dinner at Royal Oak with the old man, and that's as far South as we got. Back home we went.

Have you seen their list? It's shit. Yeah, it won a premiership, but it's not exactly chocked full of stars

Damien "Hypocrisy (Democracy) Manifest" Hardwick.

This is what he said in 2015 re Alex Rance;

Earlier, a fed-up Hardwick expressed his displeasure at recent media talk regarding contracted stars, calling on the AFL to ban clubs from talking about contracted players.
Hardwick claimed talk by rival clubs about contracted players was “tampering” and he insisted the speculation needed stop after the latest report that Brisbane is preparing to make a big offer to Rance, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

“The NFL have a very good anti-tampering rule, we shouldn’t be here sitting talking about it at this stage,” Hardwick said.

“Other clubs shouldn’t be talking about Eddie Betts, Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane"

“From our point of view there’s a trade period and a free agency period at the end of the year and that’s where all this should be taken care of."

Seemingly happy to chat about stealing another northern talent in Tom Lynch now. **** I hate Victorian clubs
