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

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

    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 ;)

    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.

    Yes. Unless they are on an assessment order (involuntary patient).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
