I agree. Jon Ralph is ugly.

    I don't know but I kind of find it strange how behavioural clauses of any kind are apparently frowned upon in contracts. It all depends on what they wre exactly but are Collingwood not within their rights to demand a certain level of behaviour from someone they have been faithful to when they probably could have sacked him? 

    A bunch of Collingwood fans I know were saying during the year that they would only keep De Goey if the club 'laid down the law' to him and gave him a modest offer. Now a selection of media is going crazy and questioning the audacity of Collingwood to put an offer like this in front of Jordan. I don't necessarily think Jordan should have accepted it but my word there has been a massive over correction from these experts.

    If the AFL used the 'bringing the game into disrepute' rule a club wouldn't need 'behavioral' clauses.

    It is another example football clubs' and the AFL's 'optics' management and inaction on social behaviour breaches coming home to roost.

    My question then is: Who comes first; the Club ( meaning the history and the greater Game) or a player who has faulted in his playing days over and over again. ?  

    Honestly it is a no brainer in that the Club is greater than the individual player and by that I am saying he should be a reliable cog in the wheel. So, yes - terms of a contact should encompass both the on field ability, the term and the conditions of his employment.

    the problem with them is that they're so subjective, like how can u have a clause like that be so black and white in nature, obviously it won't cover every specific possible scenario in depth so it gives the club so much power to just cut the deal whenever they please because of "behaviour" and they can sort of decide what is or isn't behaviour yknow so it makes sense for any player to know exactly the criteria they need to work between to fulfil their contract obligations and this isn't afforded to JDG here

    Turner I agree.

    Who is the arbiter of behaviour? 

    Exactly what behaviours are unacceptable?

    What are a players rights if the club misbehaves? (Essendon or Hawthorn maybe)

    I think all contracts should have the same behaviour clauses, it is then a matter of enforcement. And the problem is clubs have favourites.

    Out of interest, if a player such as JDG did breach the behavioural standards in their contract and (due to pressure from sponsors) the pies decide to rely on the clause and sack him.

    If St Kilda still want him the next season do they have to trade with Collingwood or do they draft him or ??

    If they terminate his contract he is a free agent.

    Most likely they would stand him down till the end of the year then trade.  The clauses would be more financial than sacking.  More likely suspension

    Stengle was a pretzel- no way Geelong do as well this year without him. Understand it’s a lesser risk, but fortunate favours the brave and we need improvement in our forward half.

    Rightly or wrongly Stengle was seen as a young man from a difficult upbringing who deserved a second chance after being booted from the afl system.

    De Goey comes from a privileged background, is older and hasn’t hit rock bottom. Combine that with the much greater risk in terms of dollars and it’s just not worth it 

    I’m not convinced his recent behaviour has been as bad as the media makes out, but the fact he hasn’t stopped putting himself in dramatic situations is a concern.

    If he didn’t think he was likely to be a bad boy again, why not sign as a show of good intent?  I understand the fairness issue, but saying no to behave yourself is how this rejection could be perceived, rather than saying no to an unfair set of clauses.

    Yeah that is true. I would just like to see a little more protection for the clubs. It really is a players' league these days.

    Why are the Pies bothering with these clauses?

    The last time he got put in jail in New York, they didn't even punish him, so obviously he hasn't changed his ways

    I rate Sam Edmund, but he just seems a bit all over the place with this one to me.

    He says: “That is the ultimate catch-all clause."

    Then says: “I think Collingwood will – if they haven’t already – give some ground up when it comes to some specific behavioural clauses to this Jordan De Goey contract.”

    Is it a "catch-all" or is it very "specific"?

    Can we PLEASE stop comparing De Goey to May?

    FFS having a drunken fight with a teammate is on a completely different level to SEXUAL ASSAULT. 

    How anyone can put our AA defender in the same 'bad boy/ cultural cancer' bucket as a guy who has displayed actual criminal behaviour is beyond me and is frankly disrespectful to May.

    And to those suggesting we chase him, what for? He doesn't fill any gaps we have, and would eat up significant money and resources. No thanks.

    I really hope the Collingwood supporters look at this as letting go of Grundy for De Goey.

    Then Brodie can become a multiple premiership player at Melbourne, and Jordy will do something dumb in February and waste their cash.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
