I don't think people would have had a go at Melbourne if you had said, 'take the time off, come back and see us at the end of the year and if you are still not well, we will sign off on the deal'.
I guess it comes down to what the medicos said. Not an easy situation.
If no trade is done he has to be delisted as he has already been paid out???
Why did Melbourne agree to pay him out (at what is reported to be a greatly reduced rate) v saying, lets see how you are at the end of the year.
The reason Melbourne has lost bargaining power is because he has to be...
If Clark had wanted money he would just stay on the Dees list and not play due to illness. I am not overly keen as he has always had issues but this crap about him bending Melbourne over is BS, if he wanted to do that you would be still paying him 700k a year.
His trading of first round picks cost us the chance to take this kid called Pavlich and another year Jordan Lewis.
But he did give you Stevans cos apparently Richard cole was a better player..............................
Just keep him away form list management otherwise a lot of pie hacks will be on the way. We ended up with 4 or 5 from West Coast. Also make sure he does not down trade your first round pick, he loves doing that to.
Re Blakley, nearly every club has spoken to him, with a number of clubs said to be very keen.
Expected at this stage to go late first round/early second.
If the Saints have cap pressure then surely they will just want picks?
If they get established players they are unlikley to reduce cap by much. Gram would be on the best money I reckon so he is the one who they will probably try and get a pick for. I think his value has dropped a lot in the...
Been nothing more on this so have to assume that unless it is being kept super secret nothing is happening on the Beams front.
Surely by now the media would have got hold of it if there was anything to it.
Robbo read the rumour thread on here and thought, 'hmmm better make a comment in case'.
He would be the most lazy journalist covering footy, makes big uneducated statements and passes them off as 'passion'. Flog of a journalist and flog of a bloke.
According to Robbo Ross Lyon is going no...
Pies are into everyone and everything.
Sounds like a lot of managers using the old 'mention the pies' and the press will pick it up move.
We have little to no cap space if you believe the reports so leave it at that.
Waite is proven allright.
Proven to be an inconsistent, injury prone hack. He is not 23 anymore, he is 29 if he was ever going to deliver he would have done it by now. Its time for Carlton supporters to realise, he will never deliver, he is nearly finished.
You would be lucky to get a...
Would prefer not to at this stage as it does not make sense to me.
I think most would agree Goddard does not seem like a happy camper down at Seaford, body language was awful this year. I suspect he would like to move but as to his motivation who knows?
If it is cash GWS all the way if it...
Well I don't know details etc but something is going on with Goddard.
Seems like he is trying to find a way out but deal is the problem. To do it he would have to get nasty ie threaten trade me now or next year I walk for AFL determined compo.
Has met with a couple of clubs and you don't...
Re: Dane Beams
I reckon we would be keen but he has said SA is his destination so unless he changes that we are not in the race.
In our case we could swap Toovey if he decides to go.
Re: Dane Beams
Griffin wants to go home to SA for personal reasons so looks like he is ruled out.
Could get interesting if Toovey goes as he could be added into the mix also.
So who does a prosepctive player talk to?
Ummm what do you see my role being?
Whats the game plan?
You have no answers for any player as such its pretty logical that good players will steer clear until you have a coach in place.
Player has a right to nominate a club. If a deal cannot be done they either go into the PSD or the National draft and take pot luck.
Players have learnt to play the game and why not? Once the club decides that they no longer want them they move them on with no concerns for the player. What...
You can't trade what you don't have.
St Kilda did this with Ball and it got them no where.
Hawthorn will put up a deal which might be a bit under true market but the Crows will have to take it or risk getting nothing. Gunston does not seem to really care what Adelaide wants.
There is...
