Those mugs wouldn't know how to stack the number of hay bales they cut, without trying to under count.

I don’t like how non-recruitment staff meet with contracted players but deep down I really wish opposition superstars would want to meet with Goody and co.

Have the cats crossed Clarry’s name off the board?

 

Good question. Matt Rowell is similar kind of player to Clarry, I can’t see them both playing in the same side.

I can. The Cats are the only club in the AFL that don’t have a salary cap.

Rowell is closer to Viney than he is Sir Clayton

Yeah good call. I thought he was a bit bigger.

I heard Rowell is pretty banged up for someone of his age. May be of dubious longevity.

I actually think it's about time for the AFL to introduce anti-tampering rules similar to the NBA and NFL to stop this [censored] of meeting contracted players to convince them to join and stop media speculation/agenda ro get players to certain clubs. It's just garbage currently allowing the status quo to remain as is.

The whole system needs a major disruptor to happen - ie gold coast openly meeting and courting nick daicos to show that's a debacle currently

Same here. Surprised to read he’s only 180cm. The Cats have their hearts set on a ginger.

Got to get in ahead of Tasmania with the 'think of the savings on sunscreen' pitch.

Geelong's salary cap must be [redacted] [redacted] than a [censored]'s [censored]. Bunch of grubby cheats.

I think Geelongs interest in Oliver was more about trying to buy cheap. Moneyball.

I'm glad we held out with both Trac and Clayton (obviously) as given the situation we would have been lowballed for sure.

I don't think either will go now at the end of this year, but if they do we should get reasonable compensation. This also makes me less nervous about any Kozzie trade. We have shown we won't be bent over when a contracted player aks for out. By the time these contracts run out there is no doubt circumstances will be quite different and there is every chance the player will be happier to continue with us.

Also I thought the club handled the Neil Bullen trade with a lot of class. Against what many in the media would have us believe I think we've had a great off season, given we have moved on our former President and CEO. To have all the upheaval dealt with before Christmas and move into the New Year with a stable club was no mean feat.

I say well done MFC.

Agree most definitely.

Great work Brad and Co.
