l fully expect he will get a pay rise or an extra year. Not often that gun players are available

JJ and Bedford were pushed / given [censored] offers re salary our cap being tight imo. At that stage the game was played differently and our bulls in the middle where the best in class. They also hadn't gone through their personal termoils that were to come. The club fabric and culture that is passed down is heavily unfounded by the way the club treat players. Also because the other younger players are watching and saying to themselves at some point that could be me being pushed out even if l am a gun and game my all. I also said if Clarry does need to accept he needs to develop his game or yes he is out

But they weren't premiership players if l recall ...

These are our premiership heroes and its so sad that so many won't play out their careers (or most of it) with the club. l know list mgmt are 'charged' with improving the club but you need to be careful you don't go to far. Personally l wouldn't want clarry to leave and pay half his salary at the same time particularly if we don't have someone on the hook. Back him in to play a different role if he is open to it

I guess he would also have a King connection

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Clayton's training standards imo

Harmes?

Great communicator like Guerra. Both have been super impressive in front of the media. On initial impressions the board has got these appointments right. Don't expect the journos to change their tune for some time though as it doesn't suit them

My experience reading Lamb is he doesn't get too specific about players unless he thinks its done or just about done. l think we can take Mihocek to the bank. With Elliot getting an extra 200k a year makes it harder for the pies to keep others

Wasn't he tried in the middle for a bit in preseason / early game without impact, might have been last year?

Your guessing

Can we split this into a trac thread only now? The only reason Clarry wanted to leave was because he was pushed initially. Trac wants to go to Gold coast is my view and the PDA in Adel is designed to extract as much as he can from them

l hear mcvees agent is now managing the comms for the new facilities

Seems to me he is misleading people to buy time .. why? .. well only guessing ... he will declare he wants to move once trade period starts ... has a silent agreement with mfc he can be part of a trade ... club he wants to go to can't commit until other pieces fall into place

Mihocek acquisition is more about providing support and education to JVR and perhaps Jeffo. JVR will be much better with another decent tall in the team and means he doesnt get too banged up early in his career

Straight swap for May

Could be a number of reasons its 2 without hearing from him .. family reasons, heath reasons of others, gf reasons, tax reasons, post footy career reasons, mfc reasons, too many to mention all guessing won't help

From what l have seen he already has healthy training standards and fitness. Just looks a bit lost at AFL. level

My guess, they wanted to check in with the new coach first and see if Kingy saw him as a key to the team going forward

Could he be saving himself for the post gf 100m dash winners interview?

Tmac was asked to find a club as well a few years back ... isn't gone yet and MAY still play FF

May has had a good year but not the super consistent high standard we are used to for the $ he is paid. Supporters quickly assume he has dropped off the cliff due to age. Maybe he had a few injuries and form issue to overcome and has a few more years left in him. I think its the later

Don't get angry its not life or death. Its my opinion like most of the comments made on this forum He is our best contested mark (max has the benefit of height), reads the play as well as anyone, super accurate kick, played as a forward in juniors, still quick enough off the mark, has looked dangerous in the few times he has gone forward, and because l said so Why do you see that suggests the under 18 AA FF can't do it anymore?

Not on this year's form but with another preseason it will be interesting

He would be a very good forward. Should have been tried more but for being such a good backman
