You reckon I miss the point! I'm just arguing that NO FLAGS are cheap, especially three in a row, talent by itself, no matter which era or how it got there, doesn't get the job done by itself, moulding that talent into exceptional TEAMS, which Tommy and Leigh did, wins multiple flags.

WTF does that mean, seen it before so please tell me, and offer proof, who my other account name is.
We know flags are hard to win , but FFS it's made easier if you get favours to suit you. Just look at Sydney and read posters reactions regarding to COLA .Brisbane 1999 were more like Sydney today with the cap favours or COLA
You are arguing for the sake of being argumentative and unrealistic
A bit like why a drunk drinks for the sake of drinking .no apparent reason on the outside

:eek: I would have thought CHEAP ones weren't, my mistake then as I thought you implied that Matthews won three cheap/easy ones at Brissy, sorry.

Who else am I, still waiting for that one.

Hello Mr Pot.

Different recruiting rules what's your point. Go off and argue with your other account name please as you've lost me
You are comparing two different eras of recruiting rules

It has been established that This Is Anfield does not have another account by the super moderators and admin. Do not persist with this opinion anymore as it is fanciful.

Sydney are the exception to the rule in that they seem to have no trouble retaining and attracting players. Look at the Lions and GWS and the exodus of players back to their home states. Swans have signed the death knell of COLA but it will be others that will struggle without it.

Certainly the Lions never used their COLA to go on a sustained shopping spree (I'd give you Alistair Lynch on a bold 10 year deal). They only had 4 players in their 2001 premiership team that had played elsewhere prior.

I didn't say cola I stated they had a $600k bonus on their cap. Which was a cola style luxury

A rose by any other name... my point stands. I've always thought the fairest way to determine and administer this type of allowance is based on the number of players on a teams list living in their non home state. Even in footy states the go home factor is used to try and pry players out (Dangerfield springs to mind... Rance and Conca's names have come up in previous years etc).

Anyway, we're getting off topic so I'll leave it there...

Not sure if we have covered it here but only just occurred to me we may be in danger of losing Chocco again :(

What are the odds of either the Crows or probably more worryingly the Suns of snatching Premiership Coach Chocco???
 
TIA does not have another account, you might want to stop spreading false statements like this.
Yeah Ben pull ya head in ;)

Nah, Crows won't have a Port bloke and the Suns will just get it wrong.

Wouldnt be so sure about that. They need a good coach and Chocco is exactly that. Would be good for shits and giggles just to see the Cows supporters cracking it having Chocco in charge :D

hIrd is a natural fit for the Suns, fake team, fake man.

If the Suns miss out on Thompson then they may talk to Chocco as they have said they want premiership experience for their next coach and there aren't too many of them around still coaching.

Yep and Crows too have stated they want premiership experience

Remember Choco came back to Melbourne because his wife was stuck away for years and years so she could be close to family.
