I think you might be pretty accurate about Bock, I heard the same thing yesterday, but the rumour about Rischetelli is interesting.
Also add one David Mundy to that list

Hmmmm doesn't sound too good about Bock, I'll have to talk to my source on Monday morning when I see him.
he did say in his cloumn in the advertiser, that he was very excited about the youngsters at the club, maybe im clutching at straws but he seems happy so hopefully he will stay.

So he hasn't written any articles about how he's leaving to play for the Gold Coast?
Phew!

Hope it ain't true, but the most likely out of anyone in the club.
Solid pickup if true.

As you have said, brisbane are already similar to our colours.. The afl is complaining about clashes of colours and then lets a new team use Red blue and yellow.. I think it's a joke.. On a side note, imagine the crowd at a game.. You wouldn't be able to tell who supports who really lol..
I also don't know why they'd want colours so similar to the other team in their state, brisbane..
This is the real interesting point though.. What really shows the afl only look after certain teams is the fact that when port adelaide entered the comp, they were not allowed to use black and white because there was already a black and white team.. So they were forced to add teal..
However another red blue and yellow team is allowed even though there is an existing one????
Yeah they can, the AFL gave them the ability to get signatures in a (6 week IIRC) window in Feb/Mar 2010.
Why do you think there has been all this furore about Ablett? The rumours would suggest that there are about 6 that have signed, of players that are wellish known at least.

GC's colours are not really anything like ours, we were much closer to Fitzroy's colours when we entered than what GC is to us. We are predominantly navy. and our red is more blood red (like Sydney's), GC is predominanty red with almost no light blue in anything but their clash strip. Their red is more orangey than ours as well.

I don't really see a problem with it TBH. Their colours may be similar to ours but they are not the same. Their red is a lot lighter like our away strip was last year whereas our red is darker like Sydney and Essendon. You hardly even seen the yellow or blue colours on their home strip, they pretty much only are present on the logo.
I reckon Campbell Brown is signed too.
I'll be really sad if Bocky goes, but if the ~$300K versus $650K is accurate, I don't blame him at all. Probably would've got 3 years too.

Lighter, darker, i don't think it matters.. When you ask what colours are gold coast, everyone will tell you they're red, yellow/gold and blue..
Their song says "we are the one in the red gold and blue"..
Oh well, i personally think they could have used other combinations..

i think GC should ditch the blue, that way, they are just red/yellow...since no team is just red/yellow.
if it's true that Bock has already signed, then i wouldn't be happy that we are playing him ahead of our real future in Davis, but i guess they could be playing him to increase his value (though from his injuries this year, i doubt we'll get much for his true value).

Two things:
A - He hasn't signed. They had a 1-week window to sign players during trade week last year. Nobody signed. He may well be going to the GC, but he hasn't signed anything yet.
B - The club would never select a player simply to boost their trade value. He gets selected on the basis that he is amongst the best 22 players available. End of story.
After tonight's return of Bocky, anyone got a pen?

I'll personally drive Bocky to the airport after today's game.

i think whats being implied here is a verbal contract has been made, and after todays effort, it wouldn't be a minute too soon!
The club has done it in the past. Remember John Meesen got 1 or two freebie games in his last year with us.

we would get a first round pick as compensation i think, being that he's a best and fairest winner and all australian
Bock's a great player when he's fit and in form, unfortunately this combination isn't seen enough. While I'd personally like Bock to stay, as I’m sure we all would, I wouldn't have many issues with him leaving because IMO we've got a ton of defensive options that aren't too far away.
Rutten, Davis, Stevens at the present.
While over the next 1-3 years the following will make their marks:
Young
Talia
Thompson
Maybe even chuck in Sellar, and who knows, maybe Gunston in there too (although clearly he looks a forward at present).
We've got good cover on defence for the next 5 years, IMO Bock is a bit of a luxury and if we could get a high draft pick or a couple of picks, I wouldn't be opposite to it.

spon on drummond
Maybe we could possibly organise a Police escort to get him there faster
He has become a bit more of a passenger for one reason or the other, not having an impact on games at the moment, if the club could get something that could possibly lead to a gain they should probably take it. That being said though i would still much rather a fully fit Bock to Stevens in the future (all depending on whether Bock has signed with the GC of course)
Chuck in McKernan as a maybe and that's pretty much how I feel about Bock. Love to keep him because he's awesome when fit and firing, but I'm more than happy to give him up if the price is right so that we can address the other glaring deficiencies.
