[Le Grille]

Pack of s**t

 

[HEYTRUEROO]

A little disappointed, but it's probably fair enough.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

AFL QUOTES AGE.

DANIEL Wells has joined Collingwood as a free agent after accepting a three-year deal believed to be worth about $1.8 million.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

******* bullshit compo. Multiple b n f winner. Significantly better than vickery and on better coin/longer deal.

AFL *s us again

 

[jclei]

End of first round would be overs for a 32 year old free agent and if i was unbiased i would think that was stupid compensation from the AFL.

Would have loved it for us but i think 32 is fair

 

[kangaspurs]

Despite what I said before about not begrudging him his move this makes me feel a little sick.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Pies jumper makes him look like an absolute bogan :S

 

[LT Smash]

Let's be honest, the football department is all high-fives and popping champagne corks over this. They got exactly what they wanted. And if that's the case, why should we be getting our undies in a bunch?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Well look who was taken at 32.....

 

[ROORAGE]

Pick 32 *ing BOLLOCKS. Vickery worth more. On what *ing planet?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It'll be pick 40 by the time all the other free agency picks + academy players are done...

Shithouse

 

[Firestarter]

Said to my old man I was pessimistic enough to think we'd get a pick in the 30s.

I hate being right, especially when he thought Wells had accomplished enough in his career for a first rounder.

 

[kangaspurs]

Pick 32 ruddy BOLLOCKS. Vickery worth more. On what ruddy planet?

No he's not.

They've been judged to be worth the same, which is a 2nd round pick.

 

[ViperR1]

Treated them? By putting their needs first instead of the club, and bowing to their request for honesty on their status for next year, that ultimately let the air out of the tyre and drove the nail in our season?

Wish my workplace was as honest and respectful as they were to the departed...

Yes I think the whole "how poorly we treated our veterans" will go down as a BF untruth for years to come in "Higgins cost us Greenwood" style unfortunately...

 

[Firestarter]

Well look who was taken at 32.....

Whole lot of bugger all.

And Tippett to be fair.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Calm down folks.

If we we s**t like Richmond our compo would be in the 20's too

 

[King Corey]

Let's be honest, the football department is all high-fives and popping champagne corks over this. They got exactly what they wanted. And if that's the case, why should we be getting our undies in a bunch?

They honestly equated a 3 year 1.8 million deal to a pick almost into the 3rd round?

 

[ROORAGE]

No he's not.

They've been judged to be worth the same, which is a 2nd round pick.

Not sure what I'm most annoyed about, the autocorrection of my colourful adjectives or the fact you have proven correct.
