Ryan Bastinac


Demonator

Recommended Posts

What about the talk that Cloke's contract is on hold? He'd be a BIG get for GWS....

GAWN as well.

IIRC he was barely happy to pull a pies jumper on last season.

His old man would be well down the road in those discussions. He'd probably have Phat Phils number in his phone too...

Ryan Bastinac isn't the same value as Tom $cully....North would just be pleased it's not Andrew Swallow...

Who knows North might be able poach the other Swallow from GC17, hope they do....

I remember reading at one stage in the early days when we were courting Tom Scully a story about Phil Scully and Bastinac's father having been teammates at Dandenong in its latter VFA days. Now Phil is on the GWS payroll and his best mate's son is in the final year of his contract at North. Is Sydney town big enough for both fathers?

I love the way his manager says "the last thing Ryan wants is to turn this into a saga" what a load of absolute BS. If he didn't want it to become a saga and he really did just want to focus on playing good footy he'd be looking to get the contract negotiations out of the way ASAP. The precedent has been set unfortunately on this matter with GC & GWS. Has there been one player targeted by either club so far that has put contract talks on hold to the end of a season and then stayed put?? I think petterd may have In 2010 but I can't think of any others.....

I would have thought that managers and players who are preparing an exit strategy would find a different play book than the one Lynch and Scully used last year after seeing their creditably collectively destroyed!

Apart from "putting it on hold", they're even using the identical "see how we go" and "sore knee" distractions.

Bastinac - 16 June 2011:

Similarly, he suspects his mate at Melbourne, Scully, 20, also knows where his future lies. He is just not saying.

"He's probably got his mind made up and knows what he's going to do," Bastinac, 19, said. "I do feel for him a little bit, but knowing him well I know it's not going to get to him at all.

"He will definitely make the right decision for him and the footy club."

Fine upstanding young pen pals these two.

In fairness, Bastinac was 50% correct though - Scully did ultimately make the 'right decision for him'.

It won't be the right decision for him, he will leave that club in 6 years with a fatter wallet, but no cup and no respect.

Once bitten twice shy.

nutbean pre Scully - "it is a players prerogative to wait until the end of the contract to negotiate - if i was a manager I would be advising my clients to wait"

nutbean post Scully - "if you havent signed by mid season - gone-ski"

He is not worth a great deal but a good year will see his value at north go north. Good idea for him to play out a few games before resigning with and pushing his price up. This was very common a few years back prior GW$ and the Goldie.

I said similar about Scully - if he plays well then his value will go up with MFC. If I was ScullyIwould get more runs on the board and you will get an even better contract out of MFC. This WAS common before GWS and GCS.

But GWS are on scene and offering money .

So my "learned the hard way attitude" is - any player who says they want to play out the year and concentrate on footy - no hurry to sign anything before the end of the season - GONE-SKI

Absolutely same here - at least when it comes to expansion teams.

I agree it was common pre expansion teams

However, I think it's blatantly obvious now that the Scully situation had an effect on our club - on all levels

You would think if Bastinac wanted to stay - he'd continue noegotiations - a la Hurley - not put them on hold

It's not a good sign - doens't mean he's definitely gone - but not a good look

and free agency - if Jamar came out and said now - "I just want to concentrate on footy and all contract talks can wait until seasons end" = free agency gornski

( when did I become so hardened and bitter ???)

"waiting til the seasons end" has a totally different meaning now. New teams/expansion or not.............gornski? yep!

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
