free agency is pointless aside from screwing lower clubs out of a decent trade. any good player can move where they want, when they want and why the f-ck would he want to go to carlton?

Almost two thousand posts and he still isn't in his last year of his contract this thread is well named!

I agree. But surely they can't keep all midfield stars. We'll be ripe to snag one or two over the next few years

Funny when you announce a rebuild and sack you stars that the players might not be that focused on finals

Says in the age that pies are offering 4 year deal! Wtf. Buckley getting desperate he'll be 28 in 2 months, is a good role player but barely gets a goal a game. Really baffling this one. Buckley will be gone by round 8 next year. I just cannot wait!

looking forward to cheering Fitzy on. If spanger can do it....

Faaark me. Homesick?! Would explain his last 6 weeks of footy too. Him leaving will put us back a long long way.

Everything ok Saty? Not usually your style to flat out have a go at someone.

Let's hope he is okay and maybe just 'seeing other forums'

Anyone checked the photos of the BnF on the club site? oliver's face is priceless! He just looks delighted to be standing next to a bird, let alone on a date

Wells is good enough to take a chance on. Those worries about cap space next year, why? All our best players are under 22. We have been over paying our players for years. In 4 years our cap will be an issue certainly not now. Just give him the 500 Dawes was on. Or the 400 Dunn and grimes etc are on

thats the point of the thread.

agree, he is progressing very well. When he came on the scene last year with that frame I thought no games in first year then maybe a handful in year two but he has done very well. He is so professional with training and preparation and is a great addition to the team will never be the Star player but will hopefully be very important with some much needed run and spread and tidy skills.

Gawn might be a shot in this. He value to our team is massive

He isn't even in the last year of his contract. I say cut the young man some slack

Thing about Gawn is that he was brilliant in 7-8 games and they stick in the memory. BnFs are all about consistency. He has a few down days and a few just average. Would have been a worthy winner regardless but I think Viney and jones were more consistent.

He was great in most of the first 17 rounds. Ave 2.5 goals. Leading us for contested marks etc. I'm amazing at people's opinion of hogan and the short memories

He didn't play in those two games he has been far and away out best forward over the past two years though. And in his first two seasons. My tip is from 23 to 28 he will be the best fwd in the comp

god i hope it is not true. Superstar in the making our forward line next year would be a basket case without him

If you are reviewing his stats like Ive been - beware he was known as "Mr Sub". another young players' development that was halted by the sub rule. he wore it 8 times last year

with ya keen as... had a break out year of sorts. would a punt

does that mean he'd be good?

what ridiculous wages!! sounds like he held them to ransom last year, signed on for 5 years and played a terrible year. Stay well clear Dees

Can't handle negative feedback old Jacko. What a pansy

how do you actually pass a medical when you haven't played in 2 years? He must still have the knee injury and there are never definites about full recovery. A club will need to take a punt on him and Im glad we dont seem into him. One great season, an average one and now no games for 2 years. as sad as it is for him, it is possible his best is already behind him
