1) Not be so gullible. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that if Kurt didn't sign by finals, he was heading out.
2) Its too late now but rather than accept a crap deal during trade week, send a player to the pre-season draft.
3) Come out and publically complain about umpiring, tribunal...
And I thought Stephen Rowe was the most gullible person I've heard today. Like, this is really going to happen. We will meekly accept a pick of about 22 or lower and give Kurt an easy path to his desired destination. The guys running this club have the balls of a Eunuch.
Makes sense. Until we get people with a spine in our front office, why shouldn't they sh*t all over us. I've had a gutfull of the Trigg and co. policy of turn the other cheek and lets not rock the boat. Time to rearrange the front office get rid of these guys.
GC are going to give us sweet FA when they know they can get him for nothing in the PS draft. Do you think they would be playing the same games if we were Collingwood.
So yet again we will be known as trade weeks doormat. FFS this is beyond a f*cking joke. Every October the other clubs get to...
What would happen if sydney are offering him $1 million but we can't get a deal done so we send him to the pre-season draft where he is taken by GWS who are only offering say $700k. Does he have to go to accept the GWS deal?
I can see us getting sweet FA so we may as well send him to the...
I'm not gutted we are losing Tippett but I am gutted that yet another required player has treated us like a doormat. I think my wife put it best when she said not only is he disloyal, dishonest, greedy and apathetic but he is actually quite devious. We found out tonight that the AFC brought Joel...
I know we sAy it every year but lets hope we use our position of strength and Maximise
Our return...
Good riddance you piece of garbage.
Another year and another player leaves...obviously no problem at the afc
Great culture my ass-
Whats wrong with my comments? Chaplin and Pearce will be better players at better clubs - TRUE - nothing wrong there. And my other comment "Port is a weak club " - I actually thought I was being too politically correct - "sh*ty basket case" would have been more appropriate.
Chaplin will be a very good player at a better club as will Pearce.
Welcome to the new landscape where weak clubs (Port) and clubs in shitty locations (Adelaide) will be basically feeder clubs for the competitions strong.
This will mean the feeder clubs will have quality kids and...
Is today the day King Tippett steps down from his throne to grace us with his decision. If I were a team mate I would be thinking this guy has serious tickets on himself. He will be the highest paid player at $800 (150-200k too much) and he still needs to take time out to consider the offer...
Yeah I agree but Crouch was a close second. As for Laird, he doesn't look the natural small forward type so its either midfield or back pocket. What's his pace like?
Crouch what a game. Beautiful in traffic and wasn't he supposed to have poor disposal. The way he moves I was trying to think who he reminds of - then it clicked, the right footed version of Jordan Lewis.
I like the look of Laird too. Put abit of muscle on him and we could have ourselves quite...
Lets not ignore the elephant in the room Jackie Boy. Hawthorn lost a grand final mainly because of YOU ! Hope you can live with yourself.
O'Keefe 15 tackles - that's more than third of our entire tackle count for the Hawthorn final. Something we really still need to improve on.
One of the few mistakes Sando made over the last month. Given how poorly Petrenko and Callinan were in the first 2 finals, Stiffy has to start the game again Hawthorn. Really needed his experience, toughness, poise and speed. A fully fit Stiffy is still a vital cog to our premiership chances...
WTF is your problem. If you don't like the subject don't post in the thread. Your dribble is an insult to those of us who are outraged that the players we are so proud of, were more than likely denied a rare grand final appearance due to one sided, unfair umpiring decisions. If we had competent...
I fell even more gutted today. I would rather we got beaten by 10 goals or even did a Port Power finals choke. At least we can control and fix them. We have no control over biased umpiring. These opportunities don't come along every day and we were denied a GF appearance.
What do we need in 2013 - a new away guernsey...
As for starting 22 - I would expect Talia, Shaw to come in and Lyons, Crouch, Martin (certainies) and possibly Kerridge and Riley and hopefully 2 quality trades to push for selection next year. Henderson should be left to develop as a tallish...
We won't know for sure until trade week but there are always players who are looking to move if the price is right or there is a an opportunity for them to play finals. Many think we struggled at the clearances maybe a guy like Moloney maybe an option.
Of our first choice 22 players, our top 8...
Exactly... That's why those of us with even an ounce of football knowledge are completely gutted about the opportunity that was denied us. yeah we have a good young list, but there are no guarantees that we will be there next year. Unfortunately we cant control shithouse umpiring but we must...
Yeah that one nearly had me crying in my beer. A really bad kick. Mind you, from memory, that was the play when then the Hawthorn player proceeded to pull dangerfield to the ground and then prevent him from going to the contest. Brilliant lack of decision umpiring.
