missed this somehow but very pertinent.

Imagine possibly Hurley and Frost.. Or May...etc...or...who ever. Thing is  Mac wants to play realistic or its the door.

Ill go silly and suggest the club know exactly what they will concede to $ wise and also how much gamesmanship they will accept from his management . 

Im not sure either are that bright to be honest ( not the club )

(caveat  yes they both earn more than me...many do lol ) 

Spot on BB. I think we should have faith in this administration to get these negotiations right. We have not been hurt at all by free agent/out of contract departures (Rivers, Clark, Frawley, Howe, Scully). In fact if anything it has strengthened the team because we got high draft choices in return which we used to trailor high draft talent to our team needs.

It also allowed us to build a stronger team culture and offer fair value to the whole team, at least potentially. If Tom mcd doesn't want to buy into that team culture, then he can and should go and will miss out on our golden era in declining teams like Hawthorn, North, Richmond, Carlton who in my view would be the prime candidates target him.

But is it really that far overs picket? As the contracts continue to roll over and the new money pours in, the player salaries will continue to rise.

This probably the new reality..player payment inflation

What do socialist left-wing loonies read ?

The A-Z of borderless countries and how to ruin every economy they get their hands on ?

Thought this was supposed to be a football forum. Don't we get enough endless repetition of mindless political rivalries elsewhere...

[whatwhat say what 23,660]

we offered a huge amount of $$ and years to hooker to cross over from peptideville.

 

i would imagine that sort of offer has severely coloured what tommy mac thinks he's worth.

 

for mine, i can't imagine him earning less than $550k a year for the next five years. he's a very, very good defender and is only 23, turning 24 this finals-series. he's already, arguably, in the top dozen key defenders in the competition, alongside the likes of rance, talia, hurley, hooker, taylor, gibson, frawley, tarrant, et al.

 

we need to keep him.

 

edit: venom denham has said on sen a four, five year deal is nearing completion, and a deal for hogan is not far away.

If you'd said that to the poster I've just responded to I wouldn't have needed to.

interesting that their post is 22 hours old yet you say nothing to them.  They don't post what they did and we're not having this interlude.

Just showing your colours I suspect.

How do you know what we offered Hooker? It's all media here say and from what they said he was offered the most from Freo.

I would've thought it's the right wing neo-cons who want to do away with borders - as long as it only applies to capital of course

Is Tmac is a socialist or a neo con?

 

I'm confused

 

 

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

Isn't Tmac from the bush? If so, surely is he's a fan of Barnaby Joyce.

I'm left handed.  When I was at school in the 60's the nuns thought it was akin to the devil.  Ahhhh, got it now, that is why anybody who questions the accepted norm, is a crazy, Chardonnay sipping, politically correct, do-gooder, loony leftie.  Makes a lot of sense to me now. Epithets................ these easiest tag to put on someone with a differing point of view, that there is.
