Opinion Non-Crows AFL 8 - Daddy Donuts Delivers Dream Drubbing

[DJ75]

Why is this still being discussed - why haven't the AFL come out already to say no, we stopped the crows from doing it and can't now allow other teams to do it. Where is the AFL they need to shut this down now

BOMBERS MIDFIELDER LINKED TO MOVE

Essendon midfielder Dylan Shiel is reportedly in the mix for a move to St Kilda as the Bombers look to free up even more salary cap space.


The Herald Sun reports the Bombers and Saints could thrash out a deal that effectively sees Jade Gresham and Shiel switch clubs.

It explains the Bombers could offer Gresham enough to trigger first-round free agency compensation, which would then see the Saints more willing to part ways with a high-end draft pick in exchange for Shiel.

Given the intricacies, the AFL would need to approve the move, as it did with the Gold Coast Suns’ deal with Geelong last year that saw Jack Bowes and pick No.7 traded to the Cats in a bid to get Bowes’ salary off the Suns’ books.

Because one helped us and one helps a Victorian club.
Most corrupt competition in the World - and that includes those run by FIFA

GWS v Lions GF would be awesome

Olsen should be front and centre and in the media if needs be to shine a light onto it and ask the AFL why they would be considering it when 2 years ago they stopped us from doing the exact same thing..be loud and indicate we will have our legal team onto it

Agree. After what we copped this year, we need to be willing to keep on calling out their bias and their inconsistencies.

The AFL were determined we were not getting pick 2 as compensation for Crouch and had to make whatever decision they could to justify it.

Now they'll pass this through because the argument will be both deals pass the test "on merit", even though anyone offering Gresham $750K should be instantly fired as a list manager.

Fantasia on FiveAA reckons he is getting a one year deal with Port.


Why would Port bother?

Hope so... as means they are 1 short on their list.

He seemed confident after his exit interview yesterday.

Might show you with Port being light on picks and probably trading the few good ones they have out how they rate the later stages of the draft this year.

Just walked past the AFL store on King William St


Collingwood and Carlton jumpers on the two dummys they usually use for the AO home game.

No GWS or Brisbane items in the store front at all



The fix is in......

Well they sold out of GWS jumpers last week, and Brisbane the week before

Dixon is a poor man's Josh Jenkins.

Disagree - Jenkins used to kick goals and was quite mobile
Dixon is just a lump that competes in marking contests

GWS v Lions GF would be awesome

Well the lions will be in it so you'e half way there.

 

[feenix67]

To be fair to Jenny, she ran events in Queensland that Chapman went out of his way to come to, and he spoke very authentically and passionately at them.

Was he bullshitting? Maybe.

But the Crows board positions are a lot of time invested for no financial return. I think it's fair enough to want more turn over of the board positions (and maybe have better talent) but the folks there would be doing it because they want the best for the Crows.

That's cool. I was a colleague of his for a period of time a few years ago. I'll back my observations in on this one.

Old Saints (St Peter's College) student. 'Blue' blood family who followed Sturt and Carlton.

I can guarantee you he is a Saints supporter. As is his son. Was on the Blues list for a short time, and played with Melbourne Uni Blues in the Amos.

Gillon McLachlan: the dealmaker trying to save footy from the virus

As Premier Daniel Andrews suggested this week, getting footy back on would boost public morale. For McLachlan and his AFL, the imperative is far greater.

, some of the stuff they're posting is unbelievable.

Also, heard on a radio station late yesterday that if Richard Goyder goes, Kochhead would be in line for the Chairmans job.....

lol...ben isn't too smart is he, from 1 dumpster fire to the next....hawthorns future looks alot more promising than essendons.

 

[Crow_68]

He clearly doesn't want to play finals.

 

[El Doederino]

He clearly doesn't want to play finals.

Imagine leaving North to play for Essendon.

I reckon Norths next 5 years look better than Essendons.

 

[GROTTO]

Imagine leaving North to play for Essendon.

I reckon Norths next 5 years look better than Essendons.

If North get the potential picks this year being 2,3, they would IMO be closer to a flag than the Dons.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

First time I've seen them finally recognise how undeserving his AA was

Well, they can't use it to say he's better than Tex now he has one so they are finally waking up.

deal has future salary dump written all over it.

 

[footy4ever]

A vaguely remembered this and thought surely not.

Then again its Port and Rucci so anything is possible. I searched and came across the article.

This newspaper article needs to pass through Crows generations.

Ah yes it's a gem isn't it?

 

[Mostyn]

It seems a bit like Hawthorn are constantly mentioned as being in the mix for players but they never seem to get them. Is that wrong?
