The difference might also be because Goodwin coached them and had input into recruiting.

Semantics

 

Charlie Cameron leaving the Crows too.

Brett Burton is probably crying in a corner somewhere.

Or punching holes in the walls. If you bite the hand that feeds you, so to speak. Treating players like trash does has it down falls.

2 first round picks for Charlie.

He's contracted, Burton will want 4 first round picks


Whether it be Cameron Mooney, Leigh Matthews, or Dwayne Russell, many in the media are complaining about Jake Lever's decision to leave the Crows after just 3 years.

I won't bother mentioning Scott Thompson, and I recognise there are some differences with his move, but what about Josh Caddy leaving the Suns after just two years ?  He was pick 7 in the 2010 draft and wanted out after his two year contract was up.

Not a word in the media.

I know there will be other examples, but it appears there's selective outrage in the AFL industry.

I don't understand. If Lever is out of contract, why do we have to give the Crows anything at all for him?

Because otherwise he goes into the draft and clubs don't like screwing over other clubs generally.

And let’s be real, it won’t be two first rounders. They deal will get done

Agree with that. I also noticed the media outrage, yet plenty of others as you mentioned seem to go through easily.

I just feel that some clubs are not strong against the treatment they receive and hence it continues.

I don't recall media outrage against Treloar, Adams or Boyd leaving GWS.

For that matter I don't recall any media outrage against number 9 of the Giants leaving us after 2 years and in effect signing to leave after 1 year.

Just let it go mate.

Interesting, quality ready mades preferred to the TAC under 18  lottery. Hawthorn been on to it for years and overlaid the family club salary rubbish as well.

Unless the initial kids draft period is extended to 4/5 years could be heaps of fun for those Victorian clubs who truly bottom out. 

Maybe a boom and bust cycle after a period.

Expect pay disparity between top players and lesser light minnows to widen now that the trade thing really opens up.

Of course there is. Those three are pathetic.

Where was the moral  outrage on Scully multiplied a thousand times for the lies to Jimmy ?

I didn't include Scully, because there were exemptions when GWS and Gold Coast entered the competition.

Adelaide lost Davis, Footscray Ward, us the Rodent.

So different circumstances, even if just as galling from a MFC point of view.

False charges by a bitter Adelaide Crows franchise.

Do they not realise he is from Vic?  Scott Thompson is a mercenary too then.

I don't recall any outrage when Mooney left North and Dwayne left Port Adelaide for that matter. And Matthews was just hated by every other Team anyway.......

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
