Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe 2: Crows 2021 Rumours

" I learned a lot about myself and how to deal with younger players"

Interesting use of the phrase "deal with". I don't think I've ever had to "deal with" any of the team I manage. "Work with", "engage with", but not "deal with".

If you read more of the article he clarifies this by saying that he now "raps" instructions at the younger players and also throws gang signs at 1/4 and 3/4 time huddles

He heard they do everything online using the "social medias" now, so he's set up a MySpace to connect with them. They'll be pretty impressed when they see the sweet geocities site he's putting together, too.

Port spud more like.

Being pegged as of less playing value than David Mackay, who's a full 2 years older, would be pretty difficult to cop. Like you, I doubt it's anything to do with coaching etc, but rather the moving on of 2 experienced guys instead of cupping their balls and cutting kids instead.

It must be almost time for David Mackay to move out of your head

He and Scorpus will find that difficult

Midseason draft 2022 is the cut-off (assuming he doesn't wind up on staff)

[Jarman3]

All quiet on the Burgess front...?

He’d rather play wafl than AFL? surely not...and burgess coming to the crows we can pitch we can get his body right as well; crows should be looking hard at him. the games I watched of him he was electric and kicked bags of goals.

Come On Team! We know he has set the holiday training programs for the players and was instrumental in the appointment of the new Strength and Power coach from the UK. If you build it, they will come

 

[kirky]

I thought it was Trigg in 2010?

But it does make you wonder, success hasn't followed Craig, although his time at England Rugby could be a pass mark.

Bit of a lost decade really

Sorry I meant the head of the club (Chairman) not the CEO. My error.

Stupid dog, stupid owner.

It devalues the transaction, but how that is dealt with depends on the clubs.

Some might be happy to pay the full contract, especially if scraping to meet the TPP floor, while giving away a lot less in trade. A fire sale trade is more likely in this scenario if the losing club is very tight on cap space and can't afford top-up payments.

Others might want a discount on the payment, but pay market rate in the trade.

Or go full Collingwood and give away a good player in a poor trade and fork out a bunch of cash for years to come as well.

Either way if a contract is back ended the player still gets his money right? So it’s gonna still cost Port somehow, depending on how benevolent the receiving club is. My guess is that the players Port trade won’t be so good that the new club’s going to happily foot the bill.

 

[dogs105]

So, has anyone heard anything on Burgess?

No melts today eh?
