Here’s hoping there are performance clauses that give us a get out of jail card if he stinks it up this year or next.

Don’t you read up, then across then down? Geez, it’s basic glinseh

My follow up questions are either: What did he buy from Bunnings, or Did he accept a “yes” or a “no” how to vote card, or did he accept neither because he isn’t an idiot and knows how to spell yes or no?

So my take on this is that the value of the FS, academy etc. bids is not the 20% discount but is the ability to treat picks as points when other teams can’t do this. So to fix this I think we get rid of awarding draft picks but award all teams points based on their finish. These can be traded...

Yes! All our home games are now at the MCG.

This is the real value of academy and father/son picks. They allow a non-fungible asset (picks) to become fungible. It allows teams like CG to treat multiple crap picks as a good pick based on points. Clearly the AFL need to review the points system because clubs are too keen to do these types...

General question. Is father son eligibility only based on grants in the first grade team? If reserved games count, not having a port or crows reserves team until recently would be a problem.

Oh wow. So a guy who is an excellent half backman, who had played almost his entire AFL career outside the midfield wasn’t thought of as a guaranteed midfielder?! I am SHOCKED! Absolutely shocked by this revelation! He trained with the midfield because they thought he could play in the...

Why would he train with the midfield at all if it wasn’t part of the plan. Do you think Butts trains with the midfield? Or Tex?

So he trained with the midfield?

This has been debunked. Watch the press conference to the end.

You say that, but it will be 5 mins and many will say “the crows are too conservative and never go after anyone”.

We know how this players out. Crows sell the farm for Oliver. Then, two days after the trade period, a journalist “uncovers” pictures of Oliver passed out with a needle hanging out of his arm. Then the AFL ban him for 12 months (on full pay by the AFC) for bringing the game into disrepute...

This board reminds me a lonely guy who has just been hit up by a “Victorian secret model” on Tinder. Sure it is most likely a catfish who will fleece us of our savings, but we are willing to forget that in the slight chance we could have a hot date with a beautiful woman who is contacting us...

Were Richmond trying to push him out? What do you think Melbourne’s motivation is?

So a team, in their premiership window, and who know the player well, are parting with an elite midfielder. But you don’t see any warning signs there?

That is why it is not transparent.

I think this is where the AFL’s power to “correct” the compensation when the formula provides an inappropriate result is meant to come into effect. But there was a clear narrative in the Crouch trade, so we know the AFL was never going to intervene; or arguably got what they wanted...

I don’t know how many times people have to say this before it starts making sense. MURPHY AND SLOANE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MCADAM LEAVING THE CLUB. Nothing, nada, squat, zero. They are mutually exclusive events. One does not have a bearing on the other. They are not related! Signing Murphy...

Obviously what we do with the pick is critical and with the suns fishing for points there is an opportunity. Or even getting a future pick for points next year.

I can’t help but notice that many of the people who state we need to trade out players to try and improve our list, are the same that are complaining about this. If you look at our team, the area we are strongest in is the forward line. If we want to trade out a player, this is the area you...

Plenty of room to delist players and clearly we had a contract so list spots weren’t an issue. Signing Sloane and Murphy, whatever anyone thinks of them, has NOTHING to do with McAdam.

“Yeah everyone. We TOTALLY still want him, because he is great! So you better pay top dollar for him” ;)

Can you explain how Murphy and Sloane’s re-signings push McAdam out. Particularly, as you noted, we have plenty of cap space. We also have enough list spots. So I don’t see how the two are related.

This is the great scam of the AFL free agency. To match a RFA bid you need to match all trigger clauses, but compensation is only based on the base contract, excluding the trigger clauses. This is what stuffed us with B Crouch. For example if you offer a player $300k per year over three years...

Watch the whole thing. See the 9:50 mark

Not consistent with what the both of them said in the round 3 post match press conference. In particular see the 9:50 mark of the video.

Check out the post match press conference from round 3. At about 5:50 they talk about it and again at about 9:50 they clarify how they had been training for it and planing for it and Dawson though that game was a good time to try it.

So Tex has 76 goals from 22 games. Curnow has 75 goals from 22 games!

Or if Sydney don’t win.
