The funniest thing in all this, who was the master troll who got all the media outlets onboard in the last 24h that he was crows bound only for it to emphatically fall over less than a day later?

Lol someone was telling intentional porkies.

I heard Sid Draper was on the table. I wouldn't want to stay there if I was him.

Must admit about the only thing I agree on with Kornes is the length pf contract stuff. 2 years on huge money keeps a player hungry to perform. He needs to prove he's no one year wonder chip scab from the back pocket in a shit side. Whether I'm still eveen watching AFL in 2 years time to care, who knows.
 
What is the Salary Cap? Is it like $16 or $17 mill? 12% of your salary cap on a back pocket. That is wild stuff.

Once you allocate money for TDK and King, looking at 5M per year spent on 3 players.
 
I must be one of the few people here who doesn't actually care, such is my level of disengagement with the club these days. I mostly checked in for this:

The trade board thread is best for that. wonder how AB and 119something are coping?

Hard to believe that Port offered a $30 million contract for 12 years. NWM is a gun now but 12 years is such a long time. There's the mental aspect but also the physical aspect. All it takes is a few bad injuries (knees, achilles tendons) and it's over.

In the NRL Jason Taumalolo signed a 10 year $10 million contract in 2017. At the time he was the best forward in the game. Now he's a bench player.

 
If true this this would have broken this club. Hard to take what this dickhead says seriously though. Almost never right about anything


I mean if that’s true that’s incredibly irresponsible list manage wtf are they thinking?

Good luck retaining anyone else if that was true.

Take the fking keys off these morons honestly

It wasn't 2.5 per year for 12 years... he's lying and putting it that way to put a sting into port and rock the boat of players hearing that figure. It's what he and others do. Would of perhaps been 2.5m for first 2 years front ended then dropped considerably over the remaining as mentioned awhile back by Cal Twomey. Could of also been to boost his contract at Saints knowing full well he wasn't coming. Again, who knows anymore. But i wouldn't trust majority of these clowns. Only trust worthy person in the AFL media is Cal Twomey.
Disappointing that despite good $$ we couldn't convince him to leave a shithole like the saints. I have no doubt the handover and our crap performances wouldn't have helped.

I hope we rocket back up the ladder next year whilst the saints wallow down the bottom.
 
You still have Rozee, Horny Francis and Butters. I'd be pretty content with that.
We still have 2 of them, if we keep Butters though then yeah I’m completely content with this outcome. As far as I’m concerned (and as many others have also said), this is a way better result than him ending up at the Crows.

Maybe its 30m Rupees

It was more than likely it was ports ability to get it done with no reasonable draft picks this year and then we want to get our NGA’s and Father sons in the next 2 years.
