  1. Rumour has it frost is as good as a demon already, apparently met Roosy and the recruiting staff and was very impressed just a matter of arranging a deal now
  2. The only way GWS wouldn't walk out of the room laughing is if Treloar were out of contract and threatening to walk into the PSD
  3. the problem with these kinds of posts is they can come back and bite you if the prediction turns out to be true, but in this case I don't think you have too much to worry about. carry on.
  4. Is that the case? or is the cause related to a breach in the contract with the club conducting non ethical behaviour in general or directly to that person? it would be interesting to know if Zaharakis would be subject to the clause as it would be difficult for Ryder to walk under that clause with Essendon not yet guilty of drug cheating officially.
  5. this is exactly what I have been told, discussions have started with Jones and as far as I have heard they are going okay at the moment, the clubs single objective out of this move is to make Nathan Jones a demon for life, big chance for 4-5 years on this deal
  6. after realistic trades, but no doubt everyone will have a different opinion of what is realistic
  7. Which facebook page? there are so many it's hard to keep track
  8. Contract ends with Fremantle at the end of next year, clubs generally won't release a coach if the new job is not seen as a direct promotion while they're under contract. big chance he will be on his way over next year imo
  9. So far I have heard Lumumba for Clark Robinson for Blease any others?
  10. I don't understand how anyone can claim to be pressing the case of equalisation when the oldest club in the competition is incapable of paying 100% of it's salary cap. how can a bottom club attract top end talent when they would need to pay overs and can't even do that? the system is terrible
  11. I'd hope PJ would have a good handle on everything, I believe the AFL had a big say in how our board looks now so that's somewhat comforting
  12. Based on the assumption his manager is stupid enough to think he could make a comeback and go to another club without copping the tidal wave of criticism for leaving the MFC high and dry after they supported him. FACT: the AFL community generally doesn't deal in facts, speculation is always enough for people to get on their high horse, I would suggest his manager would have to make him aware that a comeback at any other club despite having the benefits you have listed above would also bring on backlash from the AFL community even if uninformed, it still wouldn't be great for his depression I wouldn't have thought. MFC supporters could presumably be very disappointed in Mitch departing and rightly so, this is the members club, significant amounts of the funds come from the AFL's most generous members, Mitch has been paid a significant amount of money to grace the rehab group for the majority of the last two years as well as brief patches of amazing form. I personally would find it very difficult to not feel as though I owed the Melbourne football club in this situation, but as you are aware, we don't have all the facts so we can't make a judgement. I feel personally that Mitch and his manager aren't doing all they could to put a stop to the negativity being shown towards him based on this speculation, that may be because of a confidentiality agreement associated with the retirement agreement they had earlier this year where the details couldn't be disclosed to the public, mind you that hasn't stopped Barrett reporting that so clearly not everyone is on the same page with how a confidentiality agreement works if his information is correct.
  13. Sounds like the suns need to have a serious look at who is on their board then, can't afford to take any chances given they are a new side and trying to build something with an amazing level of talent
  14. He made a comment a while ago I think on the suns season review about how he felt McKenna hadn't done enough, and then a couple of weeks later he is reporting that a couple of board members are unhappy, what board members of a professional organisation would go to a news breaker like Barrett with something like that? I swear most of his "news" is just his own opinion/assumptions
  15. High quality ruckman, would certainly enquire about his services.
  16. There is also a big possibility he may never play again, his foot injury or his depression could both prevent him, if we can get a bloke who is going to be a solid performer in our best 22 for the next few years for him I think we are better taking the safe road, he might get back to 100% but he might not play a game and retire again
  17. When a defender is delisted from the Saints who have no defenders, it probably says something about the quality of the player I would have thought
  18. It's just my opinion, so I'm sorry if it offends anyone I'm glad Mitch is feeling better but I find it absolutely gobsmacking he isn't desperate to repay the club for all the money, effort, support they have provided, and I think people jump straight to the idea he is disloyal because he hasn't come out and said I will only play for the demons. we have absolutely no idea if the MFC even wants Mitch, I think the most likely scenario is the MFC knowing they have big dollars spare is in serious talks with other players, and as such can't offer him a sizable contract like his last one, plus wouldn't take that sort of a risk, have probably offered him a rookie contract or very low pay and he's decided to look elsewhere, the club also possibly has a pitch for special assistance locked up in the idea that Mitch is gone, and any trade for Lamumba could potentially see Mitch used rather than a precious draft pick that could net us another player. I really hope Mitch does get 100% again and has a great career, just hopefully not against the MFC, if it's for the MFC then that's fantastic.
  19. Is in talks with the club about a long term contract extension, I know no one will believe this because I am new here but I have been told the club is hoping for 5 years on good money, there is a possibility he will be put up for trade if the club doesn't feel they can retain him, his trade value would be a lot higher than the compensation we are likely to get.
  20. Lel, the simple solution is to make the top 4 sides unable to pick up free agents and the bottom 4 sides either unable to lose them or receive compo for them where other sides don't.
  21. Maybe Tex was having a coffee with Vince and Dawes trying to lure them over to the crows?
