It’s clearly not about the money with himIm curious to know just how much can thinks he is worth?
But at the same time, maybe he is waiting for the season to play out to give us an accurate representation. Great guy cam. Saved us about 250-300k
if that is the case it'd be nice if he actually put in a shift consistently and didn't hold the club hostage until he signs/doesn't sign. Personally I think he's off. Both his and LDU's attitude stinks. They've probably had enough.
This is just pipe dream stuff at the minute. There is no way we can attract players like McCluggage. Not until we can actually sell them something besides a bag full of money. We got lucky with Logue imo. He seems like a different breed of animal. Rare. All we are going to get is the Stephens, tucker, fisher types at the moment. That might change if by some miracle we rattle off 4/5 wins before the end of the season and show some ticker.
I don't want us to draft old footballers like Parker either. We can't afford to be used as a superannuation bump. A place where they come in, cash a cheque, play a few good games, shrug their shoulders and inevitably ride off into the sunset.
The players need to be vetted intensely so we can see who are the Logue, Higgins, Waite, Greenwood, Sam Gibson and Josh Walker types (workhorses that hate to lose. leaders). And then we can weed out the Stephens, Polec and Stephenson types that just coast.
Well there has been more than 1 game this season.LDU attitude stinks? Interesting 35 odd touches on the weekend, and if he just cleans up some of his kicks he would be move to the next level...

Im holding judgement on Zurhaar. Being a forward when out i50 time is so low must be tough. We're just getting smothered by forward presses atm.Im curious to know just how much cam thinks he is worth?

You can improve technique.
But you’d be hard pressed to turn a tractor into a Ferrari.
You know though, the whole standard of professionalism is so low you might be half a chance of doing that.
Any intel I've ever had on AFL clubs suggests the sheer ineptitude of head office is reflected in many other areas too. Both by clubs and individuals.
Why are you getting guys like Lazarro and McKay putting their own time into sprint coaching? Why isn't this standard?
There are so many unturned rocks in this sport that if you could sneak your way onto a list with a minimal level of talent, you could probably burn past half of them with a smart, disciplined plan.
AFL examples I'm aware of, some mentioned previously:
Players opting out of yoga because it was optional
Players studying S&C writing their own programs because the clubs' were so bad
Players laughing at novelty methods that coaches would pick up O/S and try to implement, only to die in the arse in a couple of weeks
It's pretty amateur hour even at the top from what little I've heard.
Times 5 that's $1.25M to $1.5MIm curious to know just how much cam thinks he is worth?

He might love goals, but kicking them, i reckon he would be less than 50% accurate on a regular basis.This is why we should go after McCluggage, he's a bull and loves a goal. he's 26 atm, is a Vic boy and while only 185cm can play taller if needed..He's also a Restricted free agent at the end of the year..Would be a perfect LDU replacement and if LDU stays would be a good foil for him as well..

hes gone thenIt’s clearly not about the money with him
It’s about club direction
This weekend, Collingwood played a delisted St Kilda player, a school teacher from the country and a 26 year old who played VFL for 7 years. They won by a million.
If I hear more bullshit that we have to give long contracts to spuds because "they're the only blokes who'll want to play for us" I will fair dinkum spew up.
You can a little bit. Technique might give players an extra yard and make them harder to tackle round the hips. It worked for Higgo.Can't teach speed unfortunately...
And two of those teams Carlton and Melbourne sucked like us. It takes time. My point is top teams appear to perform perfectly fine with an optimal forward line if they get the rest right.
Well there has been more than 1 game this season.
Nobody has sucked like us
You can a lot, but it requires work.You can a little bit. Technique might give players an extra yard and make them harder to tackle round the hips. It worked for Higgo.
Pretty much ch just hanging on now - been banged up to much and is a shell of the player he once wasOllie Wines? Hodgey says we should offer him 5 years to come over.
Heard Hodgey on the way home on SEN and he made a hell of an argument of our club going after Ollie Wines from Port.
Wines is being squeezed of that midfield pllaying on other position yet, had a 33 possession game, one of the best on ground but when Rozee is fit again, off he goes to a wing or hf, bench where ever.
At 29yo, former captain, had to learn the hard way as a youngster on how to be professional, would he be worth luring to the club on a 4-5 year deal? If he wants to coach down the track, it's probably no better apprenticeship to guide a midfield and the club...Hodgey said make him captain day one...i'm not against that idea?
