Toast Mitch Duncan

[Tony Barber]

It is legitimately scary to think this guy could be our 4th best midfielder next year. At most clubs he'd be the number 1 midfielder.

West coast should throw the kitchen sink at him.

Demi wouldn't let him.

Good girl, that Demi. She knows her patriotic duty.

Hun, the Eagles have just offered me an extra 2mil over 5 years.
Really? When do we leave?

Speak for yourself. If I was already being paid footballers wages then it would take more than 2 mil over 5 years to uproot wife and young baby from being around her family.

Are you serious?
2 mil invested for 28 years becomes about 32 mil if all goes well.

Look, I don't want him to go. But if Geelong were in the position of wc I'd be screaming for two quality mids this off season.

Gone are Mitchell, pridis, Petrie, butcher. And lecras will probably go too.
Add to that the cba just increased 20%.

Wc will be loaded.

Without two quality mids they are going to slide massively.

Yes, because not all look at the world solely as a balance sheet - Mitch would only end up with 1 mil extra after tax and between moving to Perth and back atop extra cost of living, distance from family for new mother... its a windfall but you're kidding yourself to think of it as all plus.

Danger could have gotten much more than an extra 2 mil over five years, but he didn't. Did that confound you equally?

Nope. But he was moving home. As Duncan would be.

 

[Landgraft]

Nope. But he was moving home. As Duncan would be.

Crucially though was Mardi also returning home. You're asking Mum and Bub to relocate as far as possible for what will potentially amount to an abstract quantity of reimbursement.

Incidentally is there any work on the way AFL players tend to fare financially after their careers? I know NBA players go bust spectacularly, but have suspected that the relatively modest AFL salaries keep a larger number grounded.

Perhaps. As you said, speak for yourself.

Oh yay. The return home to WA jibberish again. It ain't happening so it's all nonsense.

Genuine A grader now. Absolutely reliable week-in-week-out.
The knock on him was finals performances but 36 touches, 14 marks, 3 tackles and 2 goals and he again stood up in a big game as he has done all season.
Robbed of an AA place imo.

Alas, that's all just a lame segue for another goal clip. Probably the one bloke in our side I love seeing dob a goal.
Silky smooth and a damn good kick.



Apart from the Hawk fluff that was beautiful football.

Surely your eyes would light up as a forward when you see Mitch streaming through the middle with ball in hand, which makes it even more baffling our key forwards rarely lead.

Not every midfielder attacks the arc like Mitch. We are mostly a slow build-up, bomb it long side. Must change in 2018. That video highlights the opportunity.

GAJ is an immense field kick who always lowers his eyes and picks good options. That should help so long as we can keep him fit.

catempire is one of our highly intelligent,... and may I say, charming and fair posters.
You should have more respect for our fine Moderators young Daniel.
