Why the hell doesn't anyone target port players, apart from the obvious. Are we that much of an easy target.
Maybe the key is shopping their players around. Clubs see that and think Hmmm... I wonder what's wrong with them? and steer clear.

Whereas we desperately try to hold on to our guys which only makes other clubs want them more: They must be good...

Have you heard about the time Lever & Gov stole a car after a weekend bender on Meth & Thymosin B?

Club is very worried might need to cash out before another Angwin/Cousins/Essenjection scandal breaks out

Wonder what sort of price we can get for those crackheads?

Like I said, who was out of contract that we had a good chance to get?
Prestia? No chance.
Trealor? No chance.
This was always the year people talked about as the FA year with Fyfe and Martin etc coming out of contract.
Hey, I am more than willing to kick the club when they screw up, but they havent missed any quality mids yet by not offering money balls.
Wouldn't mind Rockcliff, he wants money $$

Lol the ******* AFL media.

They do a big article on why Jake is already one of the best defenders in the game at 21 years of age and how there is a bidding war for him, then go on to say that Carlton are best place to land him because they can give us a 29 yr old Gibbs and a third round pick. Vic centric bs, if it was the other way we would have to give Sloane and first, I would bet. **** I hope this kid signs a 5 year deal just to shut these ******s up.

Lol. Gibbs and a third? I almost choked on my coffee.

Is SOS writing these articles?

We need to offload them pronto so we can free up some extra cash to satisfy Mackay's demands for the new, long-term contract we're desperate to sign. If there's one player crucial to our team structure, it's Mackay - cannot afford to lose him and the club will move heaven and earth to make sure we keep him.

Would have been 500 if we'd signed him up earlier, but he played it smart and waited for the CBA. He'll demanding the 20% now, so 600kay.

Still a bargain at that price, though. Unnamed sources suggest he could command 900+ at a big Victorian club.
We may be able to get Gibbs and Carltons second for Mackay!

No doubt lever is a gun. But his numbers are enabled by the work of Talia and Hartigan as shutdown defenders. Without them he wouldn't be able to play as loose as he does.

There is no way he would be as good as he is at Collingwood, St Kilda or Carlton.

Being talked up as though he is sos/doull/scarlett/rance in the same player. He is a very good player and probably our best defender but is not worth more than 600-650k a year imo at 21. Harry Taylor is on similar money after 10 years of service. Vic media are a joke. If he goes to Carlton, Cripps and Gibbs is fair.

Unlike the SA media, renowned throughout the nation for their insightful, hard-hitting yet thoughtful and well-considered journalism that consistently keeps things in perspective without getting sucked into hysteria and hyperbole.

I trust you are being sarcastic. Prefer to think of them as cheerleaders or an agents mouthpiece than journalists.

Yep, nothing but trouble those two. All I can say is buyers be ware, only consider if you want a loose Cannon who will destroy the whole culture of your club.

He will be really good no matter were he goes.

Hahaha Gibbs and a third rounder? Dreaming, try Gibbs and a first rounder. If hes being touted as the next alex rance do you really think richmond would accept that deal for Rance who is 28 this year? Astounding logic.
