Yeah Josh Dunkley, model football professional sick of the crap; McCrae 3 x AA stubbornly played out of position; Caleb Daniel similarly languishing in the reserves/bench. Then the cultural flogs like Stringer, Smith, Lachie Hunter, Dalhaus. There's 2 distinct camps.
No, Dunkley was the only one the Dogs wanted to keep. Offered him 5 years, Lions offered 6 plus 100k extra per season. His partner is a Brisbane girl, too.
McCrae and Daniel were dropped or made sub during the year and were told that there was no guarantee they'd be regulars going forward.
Left with the club's blessing, as they'd be regulars at their new clubs - as they deserve to be. Dogs going okay with their replacements...

The others were, umm, encouraged to leave. That includes Smith, who was offered only a 2 year deal on medium money.
Would've been 5-6 on plenty if they really wanted him to stay.

Two distinct camps, but one camp has only one player in it.

I'm not dividing them on whether Dogs wanted to keep them, rather those who were professionals and those who were flogs. As an outsider the treatment of Dunkley, McCrae and Daniel is baffling. Would take them in a hearbeat.

Dunkley for sure.

Who would you take out of the Dogs midfield to put McCrae back in?

Check the North board to see what they think of Daniel right now.

Both still much loved by Dogs players and fans, both very professional.

Yeah it’s a bit ill informed to lump them together. Dunkley definitely plays in our best 23 but the others don’t. Macrae would need to take Liberatore’s position, which isn’t happening, and CD has shown that whilst a loved former player, he isn’t what any competing team needs right now.

Clean swap? JUH for Clarry? I remember as a teacher Prins would call each other up to try and trade difficult students. For instance I want to trade a spitter for a chair thrower, what you got?

So you're a school teacher, that explains it.
Next time you make an incredibly stupid comment and think you're being clever, I will understand what's wrong with you.

You never understood grammar or tenses did you, worst student I ever had. f-

I haven't been playing close attention to the daily updates (though I did find JUH's profile picture change hilarious), but I'd be keen to see Nick Riewoldt's "enough is enough!" statement of JUH's behaviour, compared to his "enough is enough!" statement on a lack of support for Sam Fisher (conveniently by everyone besides himself and St Kilda).

Just because Nick Loughnan is a hypocrite, doesn't mean he isn't right about the situation.

Sam Fisher was a gun player who performed. JUH is a hugely hyped up talent who takes the piss and doesn't.

My recollection gets a bit foggy these days, but I seem to remember Ugle-Hagan being a far hotter commodity fewer than 12 months ago than Fisher was at any stage of his (excellent) career.

But it's beside the point. On one hand, Riewoldt seems to be saying that enough is enough with one player and that his club should just cut its losses with him and put him in the real world. While a few years ago, he was devastated at the lack of support provided to a gun former teammate (not by his captain of, course... his skipper did everything he could) who now finds himself serving a lengthy prison term, when Caroline Wilson stated that it was common knowledge that said player had serious issues with the company he kept during his playing days and the club consistently ignored and denied there was an issue.

Even then, Fisher delivered, Ugle-Hagan never has and likely never will.

Fisher delivered all right. 😎
It kinda baffles me that he felt the need to do what he did, wouldn't a 200 game AFL career give you enough to squirrel away for a healthy decades long retirement?

Was it because he needed a way to pay for his own meth addiction? Man that stuff is evil.

Wot ?
 
Was reading an article in the hun
"It comes as sources claim the Western Bulldogs have been preparing to move on without the full forward, and may seek compensation from the AFL for his $850,000 a year salary"
Why the f#ck does the AFL have to give compensation because the Dogs picked this F#ckwit ?????
You drafted this man doing due diligence on his background/life/upbringing.
its was the clubs choice.

Don’t mind it. Cam we get a refund for paying Beams 700k a year to make a few coffee tables?

Depends if the AFL are blocking them from firing him or not I'd think...

Maybe the AFL are refusing to allow them to roll the dice and sack him.

It most certainly has been the AFL / AFLPA that has been blocking the club from doing anything meaningful with JUH, from firing him to reducing his salary, both parties said no. We were lucky to get the AFL to agree to a 'reduced' salary for next season if he continues to not play.

I always thought Sam Fisher stuff started after he stopped playing?
Dude was AA and probably never that well paid. Gun player.

Correct. The other bloke has got a bizarre axe to grind against Nick Riewoldt for some reason.
