Josh was a bit younger than us and I think Matt used to play down a grade because he had a really late birthday even though he was technically our age? I think he might have played a few games, possibly in the other team - I don't recall him playing for us. We did have Simon Black cameo on the...
I played my juniors at Bullcreek-Leeming with Ben Cousins on my team and the other Bullcreek-Leeming team had a player named Matt Clucas who ended up playing a few games for Fremantle. He used to carve us up and given we were pretty well matched physically I was assigned a tagging job on him...
If he comes out of contract and is available for trade - what team is not going to be interested in a 6'8 athletic key position player who's kicked 85 goals in the first 50 games of his career in a somewhat struggling team?
There's no reason why it can't happen, but why would the team x "gift" team y a draft upgrade when the sole reason to move the player is to dump salary from their mismanaged TPP?
What do you expect him to say - I was ordered from above to jettison a bunch of required players because someone ****ed up with the calculator?
Poor bugger had to "tow the party line" so to speak.....
How diabolical were the Pies finances that they are still forging ahead with Treloar trade to shed like +$1m in player payments.
Who's head is going to roll?
It seems your sarcasm detector is awry as well genius, but please explain to me why you are comparing the trade of Higgins between St Kilda and Richmond to the trade of Higgins between Geelong and North when they are 2 independent trades between completely different teams with absolutely zero...
Pick 8 for Saad is irrelevant - Carlton didn't have anything else to use really.
Not really sure how this deal will be resolved though. Could swing 3 or 4 different ways, or not happen at all........but the mail this morning was that the deal is done in principle.
Agreed, I think you showed this year your midfield mix is pretty potent with him getting less time in the middle. I think you are more in need of a small forward and an experienced big body ruckman to chop out for English and rest forward (ala Ryder / Marshall combo we had the luxury of this...
Adelaide as a club have lost a fair bit of credibility over this in at least the immediate future. You can't huff and puff then not blow the house down when the time comes if you've told everyone that's what you're going to do.
Will be interesting now if they issue a statement to their members...
They are taking a loooooooong time to match given the resolute position of pick 2 or nothing. I assume they are shopping him around to see if they can get something better, but with the timeline that it's taking they might not be fielding many offers? About an hour left to plant their flag.......
It appears that an injured affected season and a bag of Columbian have put paid to his long term plan to "cash in" so to speak. Spannered himself and Adelaide really.
I hope the people around him are guiding him through this decision - like a punch drunk boxer, often you need to be told your time is up because as a competitor you have tunnel vision.
If he is medically fit and cleared, I hope he makes a fist of it. But if there is any cause for concern with...
This all hinges on Adelaide matching the bid - they talked a big game and if that was their intention, why haven't they already done it?
It's starting to feel like they will tuck their tail and accept pick 23 or whatever it ends up being. It will be interesting to see who blinks first....
The guy pushed back pay rises to help the club out to bring in players, and now its cough up time they wanna shovel him out the door.
Regardless of if Bucks rang him and said the senior players want you out or not - the whole thing is a fair circus and it's been clearly created by the club...
How did Hickey suddenly become more valuable when you traded pick 39 and a future 4th 2 years ago to get him and he's 3rd / 4th in line to get a game? Played 3 games in 2020, is 30 years old - you'd surely be happy for a set of steak knives at this point? He's not the hot commodity you think he is.
How old is he - like 32 / 33? Missed a lot of footy this year and killed my Supercoach draft team haha.
Probably down the priority list at the moment to sign him on.
Rendell is already got my tick of approval - callers asks if they should chase Atley and is he gettable from North....Rendell say nah, he's quick but butchers the ball and can't kick for someone in the system this long. LOL, no holds barred.
