Finally a decent deal.

Quite happy for Jack to be traded but really object to the return in terms of the pick gained and livid at us having to pay part of his salary. I don't buy a membership and raffle tickets etc to subsidise opposition players. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. Pick 31 better land us a gem.

He'll have to answer to David the Koch now. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

High risk strategy but you don't win premierships by playing it safe. I admire Jacks loyalty but it is hollow if not backed up by effort, application and commitment.

Take your hand off your hickory dickory. You'll go blind.

Nah, Viney will fix Abletts' shoulder and Jack will get lost in Moorabool St never to be seen again.

Mine has a better beard than Jack

Fool

McCartin hasn't been in the system for nearly as long. His time will come I'm sure

I would never knock parents for standing up for their kids no matter what the age. It's part of the job description

The more I hear about Jack the more I understand how it has come to this. His partying is at another level and his application is poor. He is also a victim of his own popularity in that he is highly influential with the younger players. Also it seems he is quite immature and has no insight into how his behaviour may be impacting on his performance. As much as I like him he has to go. I only hope the deal is reasonable.

There's nothing wrong with pollywaffles.

Maybe he's doing a preseason in Syria.

Reported in the herald sun as a possibility for what it is worth. I'm saying if it is true we should clench our buttocks for fear of being violated.

I can't get my head around us having to pay part of his salary and only get a late second round pick for him. I know I'm a dinosaur but I can't see how this doesn't stink. I wish our club would tell Port to go and get farrked.

The Alberton mob will eat him alive if he doesn't change his ways.

Not to mention our own Bail, McKenzie, Matt Jones

My sphincter went into spasm when I saw the deal. Hope he's worth it.

I thought the pies were out of the race

This sounds much more likely. I hope what you said re the exit interview is true because it puts everything in a whole new light.

At least one tackle every third game and a 2am curfew in Chapel St.

I think the club will be very aware that there will be a big backlash from fans if the deal for Jack isn't very good. Hence Geelong opting out. I also think the odds of Him staying have shortened. The big unknown is what it will take to get Lever.

I have been supporting the Club with this but if it's true that Jack heard indirectly about being put up for trade and was given no clue at his end of season review that is really poor and very disappointing. Process is really important and if not done properly can fuel all sorts of resentments. I would have thought PJ and the football department were better than that.

Just saw the Trenners speech. One of the saddest things I've seen in footy. What a great bloke who deserves another crack.

Bizarre article. Poor old Tom is in denial and a bit delusional. As a player he was a shocker.
