Cal Ah Free

Cheap but true. Soccer is boring

Probably why its the most popular sport in the world.

But hey, what are facts

 

[pjcrows]

Sorry to see things go this way, Cal is an awesome human being, so I hope he gets to where he wants to be.

But this was never about what was reasonable, it's about sending a message for the years to come, as many of our squad will be approached.

It's saying to the other clubs 'If you don't play our game, we will call your bluff', we're just sending a warning, as an example, as against gaining a few picks that really aren't worth a lot.

"Sending a message?"

Ah Chee's manager said he had the blessing of Brisbane to pursue this ages ago, and got a farewell at the Brisbane BnF.

But you are correct on the last bit - you've walked away from a 2nd and 3rd round pick and got nothing because yes, picks dont mean a lot to you - because you get Academy guns for f*ck all.

How is it a message .... a shot across the bow to other AFL Clubs, if your player walks thru the PSD for nothing

It really doesn't achieve what you think it does .....hasn't scared any Club

Facts are secondary to feelings these days. Guess that makes me right.

Just the wantab’s

 

[whitey_1975]

Lol, largely out of our control. Dimwit
We will take the win you would reckon

You aint seen nothing yet.

We'll see you again next year when we grab Bailey

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol. No way. We are back to back premiers. Have good draft capital and made a stand at your silly club paying unders. We are obviously prepared to lose him for nothing. It shows that Crows don't want to pay for players that want to come there. Hurts you at future negotiations as clubs will do to you what you did to us.

 

[bigman]

Williams being on our side is huge.

Underpaying him for years and then you want to "set an example" lol. It wasn't a bluff, it was fair value.

 

[Saucery]

I wouldn't be surprised if we do lose Bailey in the future, but he can get a 1m sign on bonus with Tas.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ambrogio mentioning their other “options” included pick slides and future years tells me a first rounder of some sort was always demanded.

Refused specifics... whereas Reid was transparent about the offers.

But hey, what are facts

The Big Bang Thoiry was once the most popular show on TV....

They wanted a first rounder, it didnt have to be this years, but they wanted one.

 

[SellarStardom]

That is a massive f*ck you from a player manager to a club. No matter what the Brisbane nufties think, when you have player managers turning on your it doesn't bode well for the future

 

[Cromulant]

I fail to see your point

You're a hand out club. Picks don't mean anything to you, so it's easy to 'make a stand' in these scenarios.

 

[Peter Doherty]

I fail to see your point

It's shit.

 

[VT0100]

His manager talking about player welfare, and his young family. Pretty clear statement that any other club taking him in the PSD, means your stopping an family oriented indigenous man from going home.

 

[Cromulant]

It's shit.

Yep

But soccer isnt.

 

[Crowked]

If we don’t get him, it’s another $4-500k for [PLAYERCARD]Zac Bailey[/PLAYERCARD]
