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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
