...and i'd be a bloody good AFL coach.

I'll send them my CV.

Does your head ever fit through a door?

Strong Rumour...TJ has been delisted from the Brisbane Bears.

We made a very good call i think at the time.

That has been expected for a while.

A chance to coach Essendon, then?

I LOL'd. TJ: Most uninterested No. 1 Pick ever? Talent to burn, but no fire to burn it with.

I rated TJ highly, his disposal was second to none... just didnt have the heart to make the effort required to cut it in AFL.

Miss him at MFC, but then again Jack Grimes was a good replacement.

Josh Fraser?

wonder if cj will stay on at Carlton, doesnt play much

just didnt have the heart to make the effort required to cut it in AFL.

Johnstone (and Fraser) might not have reached the heights expected of a No.1 draft pick, but he (they) still played 200+ games. Since when is that not 'cutting it'?

We just made the right decision to trade Johnstone when he still had some value and got an excellent trade for him.

if pav wanted to play with melbourne...could he be captain and would people want him?

he could...won't be though

people would want him....won't come to melbourne though

if pav wanted to play with melbourne...could he be captain and would people want him?

would love to have him at melbourne any day

but i don't agree with making him the captain

i think we have alot of players who have earned it more

if pav wanted to play with melbourne...could he be captain and would people want him?

Love to, but he won't. Would have to be on a massively front-ended contract, and I doubt we have that kind of space next year, especially since IIRC most of our current long(ish) contracts are front-loaded (Frawley, Davey, et.al.)

I also believe that we aren't Carlton, therefore we do have established leaders in place, so I don't think that he would be a walk-up start for the captaincy. Although, in reality, it would be up to the playing group to decide.

tl;dr: Maybe, yes but we can't afford it.

Why do you say he would demand a front loaded contract???

Didn't say he'd demand one, but assuming all our players come on as hoped, we are going to be in for a big TPP bill in years to come. Therefore, I saw it as best for MFC that he gets a front-loaded deal. See also: the salary cap mismanagement that is the Lions.

Edit: That's not to say that I know ANYTHING about the club's current contract situation, so take anything I say with a sackful of salt.

It is interesting that the Pav has not yet signed at Fremantle. But he does have a history of holding out right until the end of his contracts*. With GC starting up, it makes it even more interesting, and you wonder if it is a strategy of perhaps driving his dollar further ie. incentive based; finals (finals performances clause). Fact is, it's all pretty much confidential and we are none the wiser.

"IF" the Pav was interested in Melbourne somehow (ie. the Connolly/Schwab connection), which I don't think he is - because you would be crazy to leave the Fremantle list on current analysis. I'm sure the Demons List Management would be able to accomodate him. He may not need to be front ended or back ended for that matter. It may be an even distribution juggling act ?! Guys of the ilk of Pav or Judd etc rarely move clubs, but when or if they do...you move heaven and earth if they knock.

Inconceivable!

Ignore everything I said. 192cm? Do not want.

Inconceivable!

Ha. Poor description I know. I can't be bothered finding a better description. Hang on. What about this one..."not a fixed payment rate for the duration of the contract." Is that better ?

IF Pav wanted to come to the cdemons I would be happy to give him what ever he wanted and offer him the captaincy. He is like a Judd, and what would make it ok is the fact that he is miles better than anyone on our list.

Would be a better pick up than Judd IMO

Ha. Poor description I know. I can't be bothered finding a better description. Hang on. What about this one..."not a fixed payment rate for the duration of the contract." Is that better ?

No, the description was fine.

Just poking fun at the forgotten concept of paying a player's contract evenly each year of its duration.

Early mail that Green wins B&F, got it from a guy i know who works at SEN... Could be wrong but with 50+ goals, and winning games when he kicks bags may be right??

He wouldn't know, because the count is done on the night- no one knows- only Bailey, Wellman, Mahoney, West and Williams would have an idea because they vote

Having said that- i think Greeny will win

would love to have him at melbourne any day

but i don't agree with making him the captain

i think we have alot of players who have earned it more

Would be a great asset - a leader and player.We would nearly win a premiership with him next year.imo-a better asset than McNamee's want of J.Brown.
