I just dont get it

Shane Mumford is a perfect example- Swans desperately needed a ruckman - paid pick 28 for Mumford who was 3rd choice ruckman and dangled a reported $3M contract for 3 years at him - I dont believe the money reported but i would suggest he got from day one in excess of $500K per year.

Good deal or bad deal for the Swans ? I say a good deal but I have 3 years of history to look back on.

Dawes a good deal or a bad deal ? the punt looks well worthwhile - give me a couple of years to come back to you if the punt paid off or not.

Text msg from my collingwood mate yesterday ' im giving you [censored] now because in 2 years you will be a powerhouse' my response 'suck my dick'

That had everything, clever wit, charm, irony.

You sir are a comic genius.

When I first started work I entered a system where promotion on merit had just replaced promotion by seniority...and there were grumblings. In the late 1980s, governments were using the phrase "affirmative action" to explain strategies to redress gender imbalance and increase female participation in senior roles...and there were grumblings. In 2012 the MFC arguably "pays overs" for particular talent...and there are grumblings.

The first two examples paid off. Whether the third will remains to be seen - but if you want to make cultural change, if you want to do more than stand still, you have to do more than exchanging like for like.

Sounds like you are in the job that I just retired from.......a thin line??????

To improve our stock we had to pay overs.

Jurrah walks for nothing.

Moloney walks for nothing without any resitance from the MFC.

Next year i expect the same. The war chest will be used again until the "value" of our list gets to an acceptable level. Then we can "Trade"

Until then we must Buy. I am very happy the club seems to finally be in a position to do this.

To look at this from another perspective, would anyone rather be a Bulldogs supporter right now?
