Well we weren't contracting Tomlinson for $500k again or anything near that figure, so it's a decent back up alternative. He'll end up at the filth Tommo as a DFA.

He'd love that one back JT no doubt, just to tame to play even at state league level let alone at the top level. Good luck non the less Sam.

Send this to the Club. This is quality. @spirit of norm smith

It's becoming a popular sport on how to shaft us royally.

This can't be happening again? What do we have to prove here? Do they want these kids to play Rugby? I take it his parents are born in Samoa? WTF is the problem then it's outside of Australia. Club have got to fight this one to the death, this ain't right in the spirit, fairness and promotion of the game. Think of the opportunities to promote the game in Samoa. Why are there even Academies? yeah that's right, we know the reasons why! If this was Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond or Hawthorn a blind eye would have been turned no doubt.

That would be the plan going forward I reckon JVR, Turner and Jeffo (if he has a ripping pre season uninterrupted). Petty returning to the backline to form the much vaunted Bermuda Triangle.🔺️ Tmac reverts to Tommo's defensive cover role.

I don't know if this has been mentioned at all, but it looks like Wade might get a game after all in the first month of the 2025 season. With all these potential suspensions to be handed out for Wacky Wednesday, this could be the reason BWS didn't want to release him. Greedy prix.

Did you watch the interview of BWS' list manager mentioning all the names of players where there internal improvement will come from in 2025? Rattled off 5-6 players where improvement will come from and no mention of Wade. Shows how much they think of him. Just a waste of a potential recruit.

If I was Wade's parent, I would be asking his agent to get him the f out pronto and look after his family and for better opportunities. 2 years toiling on a list under the same coaching regime and for what? minimum wage? He's put in a trade request why are you holding him when he hasn't even had a sniff of AFL footy? What has changed for him and his manager in the last week? Quick to forget Jason that we let Bedders go for a 3rd rounder (pick 44) greedy prix.

I hope the club don't give up on the pursuit of the DDD (Derk Diggler Deal), looks like an interesting cat.

Big Jeffo what a grab!

It's friggen disgusting what BWS are doing to that lad, 4 mouths to feed and they are holding him to a bare minimum deal. Deplorable ethics being displayed by a so called "family" based club. Let the lad earn a bit more money and security for his family whilst actually getting a decent crack at AFL footy. Case and point is what we did with Bedders, we let him leave without fuss as that was his wish. Some of these clubs have the memory of a goldfish, a club is good to you on previous occasions so you would think BWS reciprocate the same honour. Greedy Prix!

Very true, very true you can also add in Leigh Montagna into the conversation always positive on the Dees.

Put your house on it.😂

The game that clinched him the 3 year deal was against the Crows at the MCG late in 2023. Shut down Lever and kicked 2-3 goals from memory and Hood winked myself and everyone else at the MFC. Couldn't get fit under Burgess, so has got f all chance under Selwyn. Prove us wrong Shane, prove us all wrong. I'll gladly eat humble pie. Just go and do something about it please.

Same thing has happened with Bailey Smith from the Bulldogs, Ferals have had the entire year to smooth talk him and brain wash him with feral propoganda. Clarry's camp either clearly has a problem with Pert or this is all a Cats media powerplay Love Brad Green's stance on all this [censored] from the feral media circus, all orchestrated to the beat of their drums. F k em all.

And they wonder why they are so hated by everyone, [censored] I hate Geelong.

Time to step up to the plate Big Jeffo.

Have to pull your finger 👉 out this year Shane. No questions asked. Time to repay the faith.

$700-800k? Tell him he's dreaming. 😂😂😂

He'd be a great gardener by all accounts.

He's got buckley's chance of getting a game in 2025 for BWS with the key backs and forwards in their arsenal. Holding him for depth, please!!! Let the fella go play, how selfish do you want to be.

I don't know if he is or isn't, might be a natural, might have been doing a business degree on the side etc. He definitely has mixed in the right circles and has a balanced view on footballing analytics and communications. Fresh out of the game, fresh ideas, fresh networking lines, I reckon it would be a no brainer if the stars align.

This ain't good to gear. 😪😪😪

I would be all for Jimmy taking the CEO role at the MFC. If what I hear is correct about Pert controlling the Caufield deal then he ain't going anytime soon. As soon as this deal has been made and started he can then be fkd off from the footy club.
