Its a DISGRACE!

Does anyone agree with me when i say why did we extend Bowdens contact??? He is useless.
Everytime i watched him this year he would cause turnovers 2 out of every 3 times he got the ball and with his shotty delivery to such players as Richardson he should have been asked to go without a doubt!
Id rather Manton in the draft than Bowden!!!

Just because a player has re-signed doesn't mean a club can't still trade him (Fiora would be in a similar boat). If Joel was not signed up he could just walk out on us if no trade was found and we'd get nothing for him. With him re-signed at worse he'll stay on our list next year.

what i was trying to say is we have already wasted money on him which could maybe go towards paying off Brown if we get him. He is a drain on our salary!

We will have money to play with this year for a few reasons even if Bowden stays. We will no longer be paying Bourke and Daffy's contracts at the roos and swans respectively, Bidders has been delisted, Dutchy will most likely be traded and Duncan will move onto the vets list.

i really doubt we re-signed joel to the same money he was on previously. Also, if Miller did cut his salary he would be more appealing to other clubs.
Finally, Joel on a HFF is a good player, even on a HBF. joel on ball is terrible as he has to think too fast and gets burnt out.
Give him a whole year at HFF and i think he will show his class.
i am unsure if he will be at Punt Rd next year though
