Win:Win for Mayne and Freo but maybe not for Collingwood where even their List Manager could not get his head around the scale of the deal. Implosion looming.

".....the recruiters at Collingwood were shocked at the move to sign Docker Chris Mayne to a four-year deal worth $2 million — $500,000 a year.

Allan conducted that deal with Mayne's manager, Colin Young, without the full knowledge of his football colleagues and certainly not list management boss Derek Hine, who had offered Mayne a three-year deal worth $380,000 a year."

What times we live in when Freo are actually the beneficiary of dodgy deals by Vic clubs and not the ones being fleeced.

6PR interview - Alex Silvangi axed

Who do Freo currently have, or will seek to get to replace him?

 

[Schauermann]

Who do Freo currently have, or will seek to get to replace him?

Hamling, Pearce, Johnson, Dawson, Collins probably all in front of him when fit. Have Uebergang and Ibbotson as well. Sad but true this probably is reasonable.

 

[Ragtooth]

Poor bloke. Given his time again, with no ill timed injuries, I think he'd be a best 22 defender. Pav even said that Silvagni was the hardest to train against due to he always gave 110%. He's held his own against top forwards, in finals even. If he doesn't get back into AFL i look forward to seeing him in WAFL with Muzz and De Beor.

 

[Harry Reems]

We may look at Angus Litherland in the DFA trade period next week as a replacement for SCOS.

Don't think that would be a bad pickup at all

I watching the Channel 7 news last night and they lead into the ad break before the sports report with "A Dockers star tells us that he is not interested in moving to another club" (or words to that effect). So I sat back in anticipation wondering through the add break, "Fyfe or Clarke?"

However when they came back from the ad break only did a piece on Matt De Boer and Alex Silvagni's junior coaching academy.

What gives Channel 7?

I think they were referring to Michael Walters getting married.

[Mr Peabody]

Can we re-draft him in the Pre Season Draft....

 

[Righteo]

ffs

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Well, that's a complete kick in the guts..

 

[Miltz]

Hamling, Pearce, Johnson, Dawson, Collins probably all in front of him when fit. Have Uebergang and Ibbotson as well. Sad but true this probably is reasonable.

Could we be reaching for Logue? Not that I think it's a reach. Will be interesting if SPS/English/Logue are all available?

 

[theGav56]

Keitel? Pick 73.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Fyfe in LA at the moment and posting his workout with A. Pearce on his Instagram account.

Guy is an absolute freak athlete.

The thought of Alex Pearce becoming a beast like Fyfe is salivating

Just found this from other sources (No i wasn't listening to the eagles podcasts) but skip to 40.15 in to hear a story about Jeff Farmer in the London Exhibition match 10 years ago as he ended Lecras' career in defense before it had even started.

Also talks about how there were brawls every 5 minutes, I wish there was footage of this match, definitely seems like the "every 5 minutes" wasn't overstated seeing as Worsfold came into the Freo box.

Hilarious! Can picture the Wiz doing that too the cheeky little bugger.
The link didn't launch but it has Shuey telling the story of how the Wiz kicked a reverse snap from the boundary during that game and in his follow through celebration he continues up the race into the crowd 10 rows back, 4 seats in to take a seat where he claps and crosses his legs to then elbow the bloke next to him and ask if he can believe what he just witnessed. Love it!!

Yeah the link tries to embed every time I post it so had to take out the Http:// if anyone wants to watch just copy and paste that wce.podbean.com/e/episode-20-the-shuperman/ straight into the URL bar.


Bloody cracker of a story though! think it was Butler that told it as he would be the only one on that panel that had the first hand viewing.
