Apparently West Coast threw in a pair of old footy boots and half a pack of Winnie Blues that supposedly belonged to Peter Sumich.... So not all bad news.

Nah winnie reds are much better. They go fasterNah.... But the Winnie Blues are the ones from before all the pictures of lung cancer n s**t....
Kennedy, I remember him being promising over that period, but not dominating. Maybe it was because it's all lost in the fog of our terrible season, and watching bizarre sh!t like Hodge have to do ruckwork. Mainly when the trade went through, I was just generally annoyed that we'd given up two good players, but I didn't see him as overtaking the Hodge-Mitchell-Lewis-Sewell axis of awesome anytime soon. And it was nothing even close to the feeling when we lost Buddy, for example.
So it's been confirmed that we're paying some of his salary. Had to pay for them to take this spud off our hands.
They spent all year deciding to offer Sam a contract, which he accepted, only to move him on the same year right after he won the B&F, for a rubbish pick?Nah, amateur hour is here on BF footy - only you can do it 24/7
At the club, they're actually running a professional organization filled with people who spend all year planning and working on things we get to absorb over just a few days.
As I've said before, just because you or some other posters can't understand or accept the reasoning, doesn't make those charged with the responsibility any less correct in their assessments.
I'll take them in charge, over you or anyone else here on a footy forum, making the decisions for the team today and going forward.
In referring to Croady, that trade was a totally different scenario.As a long term member myself can I ask you how you felt when the Croad thing happened?
Its all about the money.What an absolute Joke...surely no one can now claim this was a good deal.... Clarko clearly thinks we can't win a premiership in the next few years... but pick 88 ?>? I have no doubt he will star in West Coast.. and we will still have no explanation from our "family" club

Got a source on this one?
Lll
Eagles general manager of football Craig vozzo on 3AW.
Just don't think of it as a "trade". He has no "value" in a draft sense. The picks we got for him are irrelevant, and do not reflect on his worth to the club.
This is clearly a plan designed to help him out with something he wants to do. Mitchell has given so much to the club, and supporters are complaining because they demand more? Would getting a better pick or some player they don't want make it all OK?
I'm taking Sam at his word that he is very excited by the opportunity and he said he would have been disappointed if it fell through. If this is what he wants, I'd be happy for him to go there for free!
In the meantime, some young player gets his chance - and maybe that player will be in the top five of the Crimmins next year, not just all the older crew.
cannot get my head around us paying $$ for the privilege of losing our best player based on this i reckon the gossip from page 12 was right on the money (if you'll pardon the pun), so im gonna assume the $200K figure is in the ballpark. what a ******* joke.
