Tough gig to jump into

Not a smart career choice imo.

 

[crow2crow]

Smith won't go to the PSD

want a bet

 

[rabidcrow]

Bombers consider options, Narkle in limbo, coaching moves near

Report confirmed that GWS want F2 and 46

I’d do it if we get 56 back

No - 53 and 56 back. That actually increases our points and brings us to match a bid around 32.

Would work well for both of us and suspect that’s what it will be

[crow2crow]

Yeah we will watch this space when it’s been reported all day you flog

Maybe this guy lives in the future. He only gets news after it's already happened.

 

[rabidcrow]

They’re interested in our F2 but why not F1?
I would do F1 and 46 for Peatling and pick 21

No way - our F1 could easily be pick 6/7. No way is that a good deal for us.

That wasn't the PSD.

 

[rabidcrow]

I reckon we should just pay it, if Welsh slips far enough we have no use for it. And if he doesn't, well, we just start eating into our 2025 3rd round pick. Having already spent our second and looking like replacing about 5 delisted players. Definitely was not worth playing hardball over ANB and demanding a 3rd or F3 back, best just to fold early so we can move onto other deals.

Positivity dripping with sarcasm. Like it

Seems that the consensus is that I'm dreaming, but these clauses are built in to some players (examples - can't think of any) and the contract does get re-written with a new employer.

The focus on year 6 is a way of ensuring that years 1-5 go well, it's the stick approach.

If you look at the new Mac Andrew contract, playing 60 games in 5 years to trigger his next 4 years, and coaching contracts now have clauses that allow for early sacking without 100% payout. If it's good enough for a clean cookie like Nicks, it's good enough for Clayton.

Ok mate, I understand. I think the difference here is that’s it’s not a completely new contract for a OOC player where it’s easier to potentially install such conditions. He

Oliver already has a strong player-friendly pre-exisiting contract (6 years @ 8-10m with seemingly none of these conditions in the contract) so I just can’t see how and why he would possibly agree to these things. He only has downside risk of doing this and history has shown he is a loose canon and could seriously jeopardise his future $m’s by agreeing to rip up his exiting player friendly contract to something much less friendly to him (esp if he keeps buggering up).

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yeah we will watch this space when it’s been reported all day you flog

I'm hearing an unknown 5th target will be revealed tomorrow.

Watch this space.

 

[Mutineer]

That wasn't the PSD.

Virtually ame thing though....only reason he got to Collingwood was because he told the other clubs he'd stand out of football for 12 months if they picked him as well as putting big numbers on himself as well which obviously the Pies didn't pay.

Greenwood not the same either but the unexpected can happen.

 

[1970crow]

Our F1 will not be affect if we go into points deficit

Did you read Hodgy ’s post? He’s saying that if a bid comes in the second round and we go into deficit and have no second next year, then they start taking from the next earliest pick, not the next latest.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I'm hearing an unknown 5th target will be revealed tomorrow.

Watch this space.

I’m hearing things too.

Sorry, wrong thread. Meant to post in the paranoid schizophrenic thread.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Nope, you're in the right place

 

[Carn The Texan]

Yeah we will watch this space when it’s been reported all day you flog

Can we have a moratorium on sharing this guy's tweets in here.

 

[jenny61_99]

Phil Harper step on up!

Harps is retiring in the next coupla years.

 

[Scorpus]

Yeah we will watch this space when it’s been reported all day you flog

Is this guy alex?

 

[dogs105]

Phil Harper step on up!

I think he's retiring soon

 

[George CantStandYa]

Hey I’m not sharing, I’m paying out

For me, I have to post in the tinnitus thread…

If the Pies were smart, they would go after Lynch instead of Houston given Tigers are selling off their best players.

Would make their forward line very potent!

Turns 33 next year and only played 4 games in 2023 and same in 2024.

 

[Cromulant]

Turns 33 next year and only played 4 games in 2023 and same in 2024.

They'll get Membrey I imagine

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They'll get Membrey I imagine

Membrey isn't really that tall they need imo.

Would be a good get for Swans.

 

[crow2crow]

No way - our F1 could easily be pick 6/7. No way is that a good deal for us.

have a look at my suggestion

 

[Danger in Texas]

Per Morris, Pies made contact with Reid ‘several weeks ago’

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I thought Melbourne were looking at him for that, I'd love to get him

Who’s that ?
