We should have gone to court over that arrangement Should be on Collingwoods cap

And / or our ability to keep them I may be wrong or I may be right but what has happened to date doesn’t necessarily indicate what will happen next Some want to argue about that - we’ve not lost anyone, we kept Pickett, whatever - and that’s fine, argue away. I think the risk is there. It’s a risk, not an issue (yet), therefore something to manage.

That’s a fair comment, especially re mass exodus On Kossie though, I’d probably say that it is a very, very large amount of money. Do you think that has a large effect on one’s decision making process in a game where one has a short lifespan? The same applies for others. The interesting thing will be lesser lights, those who are still quality role players, like Judd.

We will see, future tense Not We have seen, past tense I should have been less confident and said “could see” or “higher probability we could see”

Yet. I should have furthered my comment to include inability to attract FA talent. You’ll note I explicitly stated my comment wasn’t related to an individual, just restating for the avoidance of doubt and ti dispel any ambiguity.

The problem with persisting with our current coaching and football department personnel (not anyone specifically - just generally), is we’ll see an exodus of quality I think. Just a general statement and not saying McVee is gone. A wholesale makeover needed I reckon

That lays it all pretty bare, doesn’t it

You can’t not.

It’s a revelation But a bit like trying to shoot under 8 Every 6 holes/ 1 GIR 1 double bogey Etc etc Except, we are pus

The way we’re going With the list we had After 21-23 Who gives a [censored] What a waste

This I would be excising Brutal and cold

unlike in Star Wars where there was a new hope, with us it is just nope there is no hope

This club has become the unmaker of worlds It’s as if we’re channeling Oppenheimer

should be front page news online at DomainFax and NotYourABC but not I demand a royal Commission! What a loss

Just stopping by for my obligatory game day “good kicking is good footy” drive by. Bad kicking really is axiomatic of the Melbourne Football Club isn’t it. Crazy

****house football, kicking and effort in some cases Whether the cause is player coach or both, the outcome it clear?

Manageable though How’d the PR going to be after a flag, 2 straight sets then 3 years bottom 6? Pretty bad I imagine

Wow.

This The team selection integrity is, well, not so integrity-ish

Comeback - “2021, beeyartches. You’re the nepo babies with [censored] game day activations and still can’t make the finals. LOSERS!”

I didn’t take it as a shot Mine is a genuine question on commercial /contract law lines Everyone is guessing on the actual number unless they see the contract My point is if he is on 1M, depending how the contract is structured it could be anything : it could be half this years and all next plus whatever AFL penalty (what’s that about, the FD tax of 75% - it’s a penalty for exceeding the soft cap?) Leaving that aside, one needs to consider what another year does to memberships. Is the payout going to be lower than the membership loss? What about gate takings? I’m not being snarky, these are real considerations I think. PS these threads can run long and not everyone reads every single post so could easily miss a few with numbers in them

It’s amazing no one muscles up on him Rrrrrrrreally makes him earn it with some rolleD gold niggle
