Did he really? I didn't know that. Thought his father a bit of a loser. Only saw him once in that Footy show interview.
Not a loser. Certainly not a nice guy, but not a loser.

My understand is it happened twice.

Once before this season when he had to be pulled into line for being a party boy.

Then in the pre finals bye. Dad and agent and Dusty had a meeting. Could have made more money at North. A lot more.

But agent and dad were adamant that he owed Richmond and he'd be rewarded better if he stayed loyal.

And was proven right.

You can probably put dollars on guys like Menzel, Seedsman and Hampton being more than development wages.
Yeah, you have to pay a certain amount to get them to the club, but if their fitness and skill level isn't up to the required level, then off the the SANFL. That is why we have a team in the SANFL...

This may have been the moment snake oil boy told dangerflog he was leaving.



**** Yes, wrong Jake.. That's what I get for reading the article from Rucci and not looking close enough at the picture. Oh well, a bit of unintended humour. :)
Honest mis6ake. The entire AFL broadcast box does it game in game out.

After their meek capitulation on Saturday what the afc does this off season will determine if a lot of supporters walk away from the club.

Some of us have just about had enough of this shit.

Edit: and top it off port trade in yet another gun player.

I'm just sick of the lies!

I can't take hearing "I'm still thinking about it"
"Waiting for my Manger to come back from Holidays but I trust the club"
"After the CBA is finalized"

If you are going, ******* have the balls to tell us, respect us for god sake we aren't stupid!

STOP LYING TO OUR FACES!

Scott Thompson!! Geez mate are you kidding me? Who did you pick up? Anyone of note?
I just googled out of curiosity......at pick 12 in the 2004 draft (pick 15 after 3 priority picks that year, not too shabby I would have thought).

Lynden Dunn Played something like 168 league games with Melbourne and Collingwood. Was the record holder of the most games played without ever playing in finals.

Good luck Jake!

re the "No Victorian draftees" policy, personally I'd at least go with more of a "no-Melbourne draftees" policy. Country kids are a lot better to target.

Exceptions of course, but if you're from Ballarat or Bendigo etc, Melbourne is not quite as big of a lure "home" (Geelong of course is a bit different)
It's not like Romsey is the next suburb out from St Kilda. It's probably quicker to get to Bendigo than to Docklands from there.

Lever's not living there next year.

Might not be popular point while we are all fired up

But >250k per year to move home , I can actually understand it

Unfortunately it's the new game

Until the talent pool at U18 level is more evenly spread between the states and not 60-70% Victorian then this will continue to happen

The ONLY saving grace is there are 10 Victorian teams so they all scrounging for the trade targets between themselves

Such an imperfect system , it's farked really

Wait two years. Bookmark this. This one might (Kelly) play out longer than it did this time.
Difference is Kelly's old man isn't a dick.

The way Ned has raved about the club speaks volumes. Unlike most of us he knows how every club operates and he was glowing in his assessment. I do not think there is a culture issue. I think there is an issue of us developing bloody good players who get offered shit loads of coin.

If there as a culture issue Danger would have left in 2012, Sloane would have taken the Saint's money. etc

Gunston was homesick, what can you do?
Davis got offered shirtloads above what we could afford - an 18 gamer offered top dollar long term? I would have goon too (esp given in 2011 we finished 14th and had dumped our coach)
Tippett. Cripes the Sydney money. Farrrk. Glad we didn't pay it
Lever. Cripes the Melbourne money. Faaarrrk. Glad we didn't pay it.

Maybe our list management is poor and we do underpay players. But that is not "culture", and if it is, I don't think it is a bad one.
