Not once in the entire article did McLardy try to take any credit for it though! He simply said he was thinking of people like Jimmy and Robbie Flower who would be enjoying this so much. He's obviously been asked for a quote, all he's said is that it's taken a long time to get the whole club right and now finally it is, which I don't think anyone can argue with. Rome wasn't built in a day, it's been the hard work of many people over the last decade that has got the club to where it is today. Including Jimmy and Don. The gist of his quotes are that he couldn't be happier, especially for people who have been there for the long haul like Jones, Gawn, Viney and Mahoney. Not sure how it's destabilising in the slightest, and how you could hold that view unless you didn't read the article?

Ignorant and incredibly disrespectful to a bloke who loves the club and inherited a position he never wanted. Put in an unbelievable amount of work for no reward, to the detriment of his own business and personal life, in incredibly trying times. Not your best post Adam.

Christ. How dare anyone show any confidence or ambition ?. If you want to be successful you can't have a team of introverted robots.

People seem to have comprehension issues, and as soon as they see "two first rounders" panic and ignore all other elements of the deal. Let me say again, according to the AFL draft points calculator, the end result of this trade is we have given up the equivalent of pick 10 and pick 32. Pick 10 and pick 32 for the best young defender in the game. If you're upset about that then you've got rocks in your head.

Griffen AND pick 6.

Interestingly enough, using the AFL draft points calculator, we've actually paid LESS than our initial offer of 10+27 (2100 points). Cannot for the life of me understand the tantrums on here. We've just landed the best young defender in the competition for the equivalent of a first rounder and a second rounder.

Someone's daft alright.

Huh? Lever is 21. He's not even close to being a free agent.

Good lord.

"The Hogan trade"?

That is insane. Anyone with even half a brain would take Blicavs last of those three.

Very limited player. Wouldn't get in the side before Pedersen or Weideman. Would hardly have made the difference between finals or not.

Mate have you watched him play at all in the past two seasons? He's an absolute shadow of his former self. He's about to turn 30 and is done.

Kieren Jack? Really? He can't get a game for them anymore. Would make no sense.

I'd say pick 14 for Mitchell was about right.
