Nope. He’s up for grabs mid season Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Swans are taking a player - watch them steal a rival 19s academy player. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

So this is more reason - his history on the other side of the table and northern clubs opposition. CEO of Nine V AFL is a totally different role which Im sick of explaining but whatever. Esp with Eddies actual intimate history of being involved in the decision making of every decision the AFL...

Yeah short memories. fact is we turned around when Eddie took over as president. It was HE who appointed Pert OVER Arocca who was expecting the gig. They were close friends yet Eddie knew he was not right for the job and went with who was. Ironically selecting Pert from his professional...

Ok, so he did nothing then? Right....right.....I mean the CEO at Woolworths has the exact same role as the CEO at a not for profit footy club doesn't it ??

From near bankruptcy to $43m in assets suggest you're very wrong.

yeah, ok what Im trying to say when a kid who is a gun mid gets recruited there are only a select few that get thrown in the middle straight away. Most start in the forward or backline and not all of them can play the role as well as a specialist but the objective is to get games into them...

Gotta say, really hope you are right !!

Fair enough - esp when its hard for me to tell you exactly who and how I heard. It would give too much away and shut down that connection for me. In saying that, Im really confident.$166k over 5 yrs.

Spot on. Need some luck and we got that with no bid coming on Reef (gotta wonder if he ran slow to help us out on the 2k, my 15yr old runs quicker :)) On Cap position - I think we are way ahead of most clubs and now have room to absorb the reduction and bring in a FA. Not all of Beams and...

That I honestly dont know. Haven't heard since the day after signing officially with the dogs which included how much pies were paying him. It cant possibly be the total amount - that would be incompetence from both clubs and as I said, the player was given a number. Can only be timings on the...

personal - players side

1. I think he did EXACTLY what was asked when he came in. Keep the 2018 list together where a significant amount of players were coming out of contract and some with big $$$ offers - Moore, DeGoey, Langdon, Phillips, Cox to name a few. All other than Moore coming off huge seasons. No one would...

I think thats spot on. Pay as much as they will let us this year, Chase FA next year

We are paying $830k total over the 5 years to him. works out to be $166k per year on average however could be front loaded to pay nil or minimal in year 4/5

Totally different roles.

TBH - I reckon its such a tough role that 5 yr stints are about right. Also, I think with the likes of the NBA taking AFL administrators Gil might have an eye on some bigger international roles.

Has always amazed me how little supporters understood what each role at the club did and was responsible for. Also how much they forget. Its often said be careful what you wish for. Ed will be a big loss for the club. I dont envy the next person. I mean to meet expectations where do you find...

Yes- the details on what he wanted to do flying back and forth to the GC each week have never fully come out. Couldn't imagine mentally he would cope with being apart with the stress of an AFL season. The club may not of handled it as well as they could have, however the decision with the draft...

Day after the trade went through - this was the number quoted by the players side.

Reminds me a bit of the Cats in 01 - took Bartel, Kelly, Steve J, Ablett and Playfair. Added Mackie and Lonergan the year after. The 6 we took, plus a couple from last year and Daics next year - you can only hope

3 first rounders albeit in a long first round. Another way to look at it - 5 of the best 31 rated kids in the country. Other than the academy / father-son compromise that was this draft, the fact that Vic kids could not play, be seen and most of all develop probably impacted this draft the...

Its $830k over 5 years exactly. This is what the player believes. The "$1m" suggestion is the closest to it and Id say rounded up. How much in what year was the dispute.

Hes played one year, last year as a defender. Hes also played mid/forward. At 193 and 90kgs.

yep, best available.

Might want to have a look at recent pics. He had an ankle injury so clearly spent a lot of time in the gym. HE is comfortably ahead of Riccardi - all moot now though as usual we took the best available as we see it.

Might be behind now, but they are listed know the system and will have another pre-season. If Kelly is fit hes picked first guarantee it ( I think Keane is as good and Wilson will be better ) If a player is better at that pick I reckon Hine will run with it.

Dunno. He may have but these guys are on our list and been in our system. They have 12mths more knowledge. However its about this selection and this draft. IF there is a player we think is better then regardless of type I see Hine going in that direction. Also, Wilson coming off significant...

If Riccardi is the best player available at our first pick then we will take him. I somehow dont think he will be. I dont think he can help us next year. Will Kelly, the irish boys Kean in particular and Wilson I think would all get a game ahead of him in a key position.

At worst I thought Roughy could add some depth. Was concerned about his contested ability as a defender. At best I hoped we could reinvigorate him in the same was as Leigh Brown - mainly by playing him in the one position, teaching him his role and asking nothing more. Best case is being...
