In short Bruce and his manager Ricky Nixon thought the Dees would crumble on the 2 year deal. Used to be that we would have. That is of course why Bruce got the just finished contract that landed him in the Top 20 money earners in the AFL when he would have been unlikely to be in the league's Top 50 players. Times have changed. Travis Johnstone learnt that. Brock Maclean learnt that.

In short Schwab, Connolly, Harrington and Bailey have set about regularising our player payments. Elite players get an elite player's contract. Good players get a good players contract. Sensible TPP management. And of course players 30 and older get one year deals just like Crawford did at Hawthorn and Fletcher does at Essendon. Sensible risk management.

Simply Bruce and Nixon were slow on the uptake otherwise they would have requested a trade and the Dees would have facilitated the deal and Bruce would already have been at his preferred club.

I guess that depends on you and a few others, doesn't it?

Yeah, I always find it funny when someone late to the party gets heaped with praise for echoing the thoughts of many posters who already contributed to the thread.

Hello.

I should have said just 'jackaub.'

Apologies.

I'm glad Land have embraced greetings in posts now...

As long as we don't end every post with Cheers...

Hate that.

If Cameron Bruce puts peroxide through his hair to the point where it's completely white/blond then we'll consider a ban.

Don't think you can bleach spray-on hair.

I also read all posts and posted previously I was referring to the quality of the summation

Si.

Fwiw the thread learnt of Bruce walking at post 192 on page 5. Go figure. Or go fish. If I could be bothered I'd find ample summations on the situation.

But I can't. I'd rather question the Australian Cricket Team selectors.. B)

I think this thread has run its course.

Cameron Bruce has gone and hence, I'm closing it down.

Thanks to all who posted here.
