From memory, he didnt earn a percentage from Abletts deal to Gold Coast. He got a set price. He would have got the same amount if Ablett had stayed at Geelong.

Maybe he is just a great manager?

Whenever I hear this guy's commentary on the TAC Cup games or on up and coming youngsters, I can't help but think of a pedophile leering at a bunch of underage boys. It's gross conflict of interest.

One of his other clients might be looking for a new manager , A Clarkson . If bud goes to syd as predicted , Allister will not be happy despite public statements . Hawthorn would have accepted Gws knowing full well buddys impact will be less than his impact at Sydney who must have come in as flag favourites if he goes to syd

Be interesting to see who picks this up...

Player managers are about as trustworthy as politicians and used car salesmen.

sen replayed an interview from aug 6 with pickering who did a freudian slip and said he was dealing with tSydney , then corrected himself and said hawthorn.Gws was a smokescreen used by Pickering . Will Gws ever deal with him again?

All AFL managers are on a fixed percentage. I believe it is 2% of the players salary. They can negotiate for any percentage on extra deals such as media appearances, book deals etc.

Nonetheless he is making plenty - and yes he is Gary abletts manager.

If Hawthorn get Mumford out of this they'll probably see it as a win win. They get the ruckman they desperately need and Tippett goes into second ruck duty at the swans. Tippett is the most dangerous forward to Hawthorn as he can get right on top of Lake. Franklin will be an upgrade but I bet Josh Gibson is confident he can still do a job on him, impressive games on Franklin is what got him to the hawks in the first place.

Franklin says to Pickering I want to go to the Swans under Free Agency and my speedos to party in spas in with rugger chaps and Pickering organises a deal to do the former if not the later. That is a player agent doing his job.

The only issue is that he blatantly lied which he should have been able to avoid by being a little smarter.

Being on a Yobbo Radio Show Weekly doesn't help

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
