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

    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.

    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.

    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.......

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
