On what planet is Lynch worth $750k ? If he got offered that much to get out of west lakes and return to Vic, he must be on 1 Mill to stay at the swamp.
The planet where they don't have to pay either Sloane or McGovern next year, which is the same planet where they have become a national embarrassment with a notoriously shit culture and a reputation as a club that nobody wants to play for therefore have no chance of using that extra cap space to attract any decent recruits.

And fortunately, that planet is the one we all live on.

I want him to go. Losing Sloane now would be like us losing Boak back in 2012, probably worse. He’s one of the few things they have that gives them something resembling a soul.
They gain more by keeping that sort of player around than losing him. You can load up with as many high draft picks as you like but if al they’re doing is collecting a pay cheque it rarely amounts to anything. Look at GWS.
If he didn’t have a lisfranc injury I’d agree, but that’s a doozy.

Feel a bit for Rave Slave having to come here to get his laughs. But if I had to choose between posting on a board full to the brim with people who despise my club and everything it stands for versus posting on a board with subaru, I'd probably choose the former too.

This is the question I asked asking my crow friends last night at a function and underlined to them that KT would have been front and centre if it were our club. Personally, I'm happy that Burton fronted up because only he showed what a total jackass he is. Pyke was barely a pass mark.
Has Fagan given a reason for his no show yesterday? His absence is about as weak as the Crows' back 6 against Hawthorn.

The crows this week have been absolutely desperate to throw their fans a bone and keep the discontent at bay. I’d almost guarantee they’ve gone to Sloane and his management and said “Rory, we need a big positive story to throw out there. Are you staying or are you gping? And if you’re staying can we do the deal now. This can’t wait”.
Sloane has obviously said “I’m not staying” and they’ve gone for the next best thing and bent over to the other Tom Lynch’s monetary demands and he’s signed on the spot.
To me this Tom Lynch contract is the surest publicly visible sign yet Sloane has one foot already out the door.

You lot are alright for the bants. At least it takes away from some of the Bev and Linda types that shit me to tears.

I just throw on the gimp mask, start whipping my back and hit F5 repeatedly on this thread. Takes away the visual of that human testicle Brett Burton drowning in his own bullshit on camera to the adoring fan base.

I'll ask again. Where has that absolute fraud Andrew Fagan been throughout all this? Nowhere to be seen, head down in a bunker somewhere. What an absolute squib. When any sort of shit hits the fan at Port Adelaide it's Keith Thomas who places himself in the direct line of fire taking full responsibility.
Andrew Fagan. What an absolute useless, gutless piece of shit.
Good news = Fages
Bad news = Not Fages.

It’s win-win from a Port point of view tbh.
