List Mgmt. 2016 Free Agency/Trades/Draft thread Part 3

[hey shorty]

Really get sick of this. For the record - it wasn't Trigg that agreed to the deal. He failed to adequately fix it once it was discovered. It was Bob Reid - you know, the father of the guy currently responsible for negotiating contracts for the AFC.

John Reid

Lol luv how trade leaks say the Gibbs deal is as good as done, while trade whisper say not to take the rumour too seriously. Someone's full of sh*t lol

[nightchook]

so let me get this right... if rumblings are true, Thommo becomes an emergency only, Lyons gone, Henderson gone, CEY gone, Grigg gone...
that's two full time midfielders, our next in line and a depth player gone... no ins (as yet) just unsubstantiated rumours. There HAS to be a pretty solid plan in place or next year will be one of great disappointment for us.

Who is actually likely to come in?

Don't all contracts need higher approval or is that only something we do since that debacle?

John Reid

Yeah sorry... shit. I was just typing an email to Bob... think I might have sent it to John instead.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

If Richmond aren't interested .....what does that say ???

Reid was pretty much autonomous back then. My understanding is that it is no longer the case.

Look, most of them are gone from the club now but the size of Tippets contract would have required authorisation from the CEO or the board.

For anyone to try and pass the buck by saying the CEO or Board didn't know about it is being very naive.

That they are not in contention for a premiership in the next 3-5 years?

That is incorrect.. I factually know that John Reid was not the one who caused all that trouble, he tried to take the fall for it so there were no consequences to the club as he was out of the club already but unfortunately it wasn't able to be sorted that way. We have a very close link to that family so don't make things up if you don't know facts.

You have no idea Alex. Things were done differently back then. John Reid thought he WAS Adelaide.

Right. Of course I don't.

You go girl. Keep fighting that good fight for twiggy

Ask him and he will tell you, any contract over $500,000 a year needed authorisation.

It says they are spending their trades on that dude from the Gold Coast...whilst trying to keep pick 5.

They won't have the currency.

Prestia and it's pick 6

Richmond are shit, who cares?

Rockliff won't take them from a top 6 to a top 4 side - they shouldn't be interested in him.

That we should be chasing hard.

Always do the opposite of Richmond

Come on Jen, there is no way in hell Trigg wasn't aware of it.

I have a close link to others involved. I am not making anything up, just going on what I've been told. I've also met John many times, and found him a most disagreeable old bugger. He loved the club though, couldn't question that.

Thx - I couldnt remember his name !!

With respect to you and your relationships Jenn, I doubt you would always be told the full story - especially if that story makes the person telling it either complicit in the activity; or incomprehensibly negligent in their position.
