[Trigger13]

Finnbar Maley? Deary me. Have not liked anything I've seen of him.

You don’t like his exceptional contested marking ability?

- picked him up obscurely from Essendons Rookie list and he went on to have a very good career with us. Fingers crossed we might get something good from Finbar

 

[Floating Doughnut]

Mighty Moooooose , cult hero

Reckon he wins us a game after the siren with a huge grab and goal, just that type.
5 on the bench, hybrid ruckman he is our guy and hope he makes it.

Imagine the kick to kick between Finnbar and ROB at training. For most it would be reliving childhood - counting how many times they can kick it to each without letting the ball hit the ground.

 

[Slim258]

Trade radio saying Maley is primarily Ruck support .....just my opinion, but the Crows would be happy with negating ruck contests, but it's his around the ground marking that makes Finbar an option should ROB fall away

If the ruck rules are changing, this blokes got some hops, so could be a useful replacement

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Followed by kicking it out on the full.

Bloke is a dud, couldn't even cement a spot at the worst club in the competition. He won't play a game for us.

Finnbar Maley? Deary me. Have not liked anything I've seen of him.

Has looked pretty good in the air, just very confused with what to do with it after that part...

 

[bettingonbetts]

Why is everyone so negative lol
We got him for basically nothing. He’s got talent and worth the risk considering how much we lack in the ruck department

[CROUCH #2]

Walker a mentor to FInnbar???

 

[cleanhands]

Watch Handlebarr ruck the s… out of the 1:7mill St Kilda ruck

 

[nerRADIAN]

Bit of a red flag when people bring up how good a players personality is imo. I really hope this wasn’t factored into the trading decision

 

[bigman]

JUH gone from pick 1 to a pick in the 70s.

How’s that for a drop off.

 

[Scorpus]

Jamarra for pick 74 and a one year, low money deal...

Feel we should have gotten in on that

 

[StickerMan]

JUH gone from pick 1 to a pick in the 70s.

How’s that for a drop off.

And we bid on him before Filthy!

 

[bigman]

Jamarra for pick 74 and a one year, low money deal...

Feel we should have gotten in on that

Bloke’s a mess.

Has Dayle Garlett written all over it.

Might get one good year out of him.

 

[Syd Crow]

Watch Handlebarr ruck the s… out of the 1:7mill St Kilda ruck

Release the Handlbar!

 

[Scorpus]

Bloke’s a mess.

Has Garlett written all over it.

He's going to Gold Coast on a no risk contract. Definitely worth a shot

 

[DangerSloane]

An Adelaide '36 once.

We got the tail end of his career.
At his best was a 20ppg scorer in the NBL.

Wasnt a bad player.

 

[Betts are off]

Jamarra for pick 74 and a one year, low money deal...

Feel we should have gotten in on that

My guess is within 3 months of pre season day 1, JUH will do something up on the coast that will make you take this statement back

 

[cleanhands]

JUH gone from pick 1 to a pick in the 70s.

How’s that for a drop off.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

JUH gone from pick 1 to a pick in the 70s.

How’s that for a drop off.

And an AFL first ....a behavioural clause inserted in the Contract

 

[bigman]

He's going to Gold Coast on a no risk contract. Definitely worth a shot

He’s not even close to AFL fit and leopards rarely change their spots.

Not even teams like Port or Collingwood, who need key forwards, showed interest.

Trac gone from putting up with Oliver to a bloke even worse.

 

[Scorpus]

My guess is within 3 months of pre season day 1, JUH will do something up on the coast that will make you take this statement back

He could play 0 games and be sacked before the season starts and it's still worth the risk on a one year deal, a junk pick and no money

 

[Betts are off]

He could play 0 games and be sacked before the season starts and it's still worth the risk on a one year deal, a junk pick and no money

So did he agree to not be getting paid the reported $900k he was scheduled to earn this year from his Dogs contract?
