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.......

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
