I was living up there at that time. Don't remember anything about the Lockett story, I only found out recently about the Tiger connection. I hadn't followed footy much for a while from when I left Victoria and went up there until 1994/95 when i rediscovered the passion for footy big time!!!
What i do remember is that until Lockett and their big year in 1996 virtually NOBODY except ex-pat Vics cared about AFL. I knew a couple of people I could talk to about it that were originally from here but NSW folk couldn't have cared less about it. All of a sudden in 1996 I remember they suddenly became "our Swannies". It was sickening BUT it certainly did a lot to get NSW rugby league fans interested. It became something you could discuss with all of your colleagues. I even had an AFL tipping contest at work around then that had everyone in it. I went to a couple of our games at the SCG with a mate from work that had been one of those people that hated it before 96, he LOVED rugby league but got right into AFL too after that.
So what I'm saying is it had the desired effect but **** the AFL anyway!!! :p
Since 1981 the shitstain of a club that is Sydney has been bailed out by the AFL / VFL to the detriment of other clubs, been broke how many times 5 ?

We talk about the two plastic clubs but they are the ultimate AFL owned side

When Dusty signs, brace yourselves for the cancer that is #Go North! posters harping on about how they successfully made us pay overs and everything was win-win in the end for their shit club.
Who cares. As long as he's a tiger

It's not like we are paying Hamish Harlett 7-800k here, this guy is close to the best player in the game and brownlow medalist. Surprisingly he'll get the same as another (previously) unstoppable brownlow medalist named Fyfe, and not to mention Dangerfield is on 8-900 k and signed before the 20% jump in the cap.

Just a little update from what i have heard from within the club fellas.

They are a little worried due to Dustys Dad getting in his ear about chasing the money.

Club is worried if it has to fork out 1.5m per year that it could cost us players leaving in the long term.

Sorry to be a party pooper but #Go North!

No shit sherlock, the obvious sign was from Carr saying its up to Dusty and he will decide in between R23 and finals and i have nothing more to do.

NEWSFLASH

any announcement Dusty would make would have to be signed off by the club, club would've shot down the announcement talk if there was any inkling Dusty was even thinking of going.
