To quote Brisbanes Coach re a contracted Schache to Dogs.

“I think it is overrated, everyone loses players,” the first-year coach said.

“At my time at Hawthorn, (Lance) Franklin goes, Bradley Hill goes.

“They go.

“Really we recontracted everybody this year, including Josh, but he just felt that need.

“Sometimes you’ve got to take the selfishness out of it and do the humane thing.

“For us it was doing the humane thing.”


Puts the whole Ablett ordeal into perspective doesn't it. No player will want to play for them. Ever.

Something tells me it's unlikely Schache asked for two million upfront before shitting on the doorstep as he left

I'm sure the OP has a valid point. Just wish he had the ordered mind and functional literacy to express it coherently.

I said this before in a thread I started, the system of having a contract is just for show. The AFL is an entertainment industry and not a sporting industry, when people wake up to this it will be like a rude awakening...a bit like there is still flogs out there that think the WWE is the real thing. In the next few years Melbourne, StKilda and Norths will be gifted flags not unlike the staged world of wrestling. Richmond have got there turn and won't even make the finals next year.

What the **** is the gibberish in the OP?

Like those flags that were given to WCE, I think after the AFL sees just how big Richmond is that we win the next 4 or 5 in a row before we maybe give the minnows a sniff.

im ok with that, but not the stkilda part.

I agree Ablett is a sh!t truck.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Do wonder why anyone recruits a 34 yo with a bung shoulder. Maybe he’ll go forward and 2-3 years will be enough. Darcy Lang seemed to have more upside and time on his side.

If by 'shitting on the doorstep', you man paying back the money, then yes.
