That whole trade has a big whiff about it to me Lucifer. Either that ankle is a serious problem or Mcarthy is the worst negotiator in known history. We managed to do better than that in offloading Watts!

If his ankle was a serious problem then why have they offered him 4 years.......very fishy.

    I despise Geelong, but I do feel they are within their rights to be seething about the Kelly trade.  I know there are extenuating family circumstances, but the fact that he is wanting to go back to WA for family reasons, but is only willing to go to one club is farcical. 

     

    Only wanting to go to one of the two Perth clubs means the family circumstances reason is total bull [censored].

    Scully understands lying and subterfuge to get where he wants (or get paid the most) better than most. It would b of zero surprise to me to see him play 16 plus games next year. 

    This deal should 100% be investigated by the AFL. Don’t accept anything said about his ankle on face value..Scummy is  as crooked as they come.

    Where does that leave Trump? Does the analogy involve a Russian hotel room in his case?

    I heard somewhere they have 9 players over 30 next season.  I hope their playing falls off a cliff like ours did 12 years ago.  Furthermore,  so sick of this Clarkson being the messiah crap.  A bit like you, I hope the high risk recruitment plays thay the Hawks have made come back to bit them, Clarkson gets the sack, and we transfer the Norm Smith curse to them for another 50+ years, hereby to be know as the Alistair Clarkson curse.

    It's a long, long fall off that cliff as we well know at Demonland.

    That was only 2?

    Yep. They increased it by two, but the 4th year is contingent on games played in the other 3. Although, as someone pointed out , if they cant get him up in year 2 he’ll just be retired most likely anyway... so risk isn’t as big as it sounds. Still reckon he’ll “miraculously” be there round 1 but we’ll see. 

    Im concerned about how much power the players have now in general at trade time tbh. Someone needs to be looking after the overall health of the clubs and the equality of the comp. players as individuals or player managers have no such care.

    Would the reason for the 4 years be more based on that was when he was contracted till with GWS?

    Its 3 years with a trigger.

    Get out for Hawks is that if the ankle does not come good and struggles he can retire a la Dane Swan and get a settlement of most of the following year of his contract which is not include in the salary cap.

    I don’t agree with that. Wanting to go home and not wanting to go to Freo aren’t mutually exclusive positions. “I want to go home” and “I want to go home at all costs” are different propositions. The inability to get a deal done with West Coast means he’s faced with two poor choices: not make it home, or go to Freo, and he chose.

    It doesn’t discredit his desire to get home, it just means it was trumped by his desire not to play for Fremantle. Who could blame him?

    • 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.
