Not sure if another 2 years is worth it. It's 2 more years development that will benefit WC or Freo. I think it best to cut the cord now so we can make longer term plans with the picks we'll get

Goodwin and Richardson met with him last week. Not a rubbish topic at all. This trade could happen

You should start your own thread

They’re a different breed those pies supporters. It was hard to stomach their gloating after the game on Friday night

It's a hail Mary play. Chance of success less than 1%

I hope the appeals board extend his suspension, Carlton make finals (losing to us but beating the pies) and lose their elimination final by a point with their skipper looking on from the stands. Would serve them right.

I don't know who else is available but I wouldn't want to spend a first round pick on a second ruckman

Well then no deal. This is a salary dump so the pies will have to take a second or third rounder. They have little leverage here. Take lower picks or eat his salary for the next 5 years

The contract is the issue. The price needs to be right for us (which is nowhere near $1m. What a ridiculous contract that is) But why posters would be arguing against bringing a 2 time AA ruckman to the club based on his ability/style is beyond me. He can adapt and thrive with us I'm sure. And we fill the gap left by LJ departing while saving the picks we get for a crack at a KPF in a year or 2 (hopefully one of the King boys). If the price is right this move makes plenty of sense I reckon

It's the right decision. No conspiracy this time. the tin-foil hat brigade will have to find something else to occupy themselves with Further, I'm delighted he's not playing against us. He's a super player so him not playing improves our chances of winning

Makes sense at the right price. Just need a coach to help Maxy with his goal kicking. No point having him play forward if he's going to spray his kicks left and right

Matt Rowell got up and played on after the willie Rioli incident iirc. The Brisbane doc says that Ah chee is under medical protocols and will miss 1 or 2 games. Much different outcome so I think the ban will be upheld

Tommy bugg could throw a mean right jab

Never paid much attention to him previously, but between him acting like a tool and the pies fans singing that nauseating “USA USA” chant I’ve developed a strong dislike for the bloke.

bailey fritsch last year. initially rubbed out for a game (I think) but got off on appeal

Don't do that. Burn down Ikon Park instead

If the AFL want him to get off just appoint lethal Leigh, Luke Hodge and Jonno Brown to the tribunal

Hang on. I thought the AFL wanted Carlton to play finals so would find a way to exonerate Cripps?

Neither Howe or Ed are the brightest. Best let your footy do the talking lads

Could make the same joke about us unfortunately

Carlton getting murdered at the centre bounce. Another reason to be optimistic next week

Or when we finally managed to break our 57 year drought It can be done for sure, but easier to do without any psychological baggage i reckon

Jonno Brown reckons its a football incident. If these old schoolers were in charge at the MRO no player would ever get suspended

Brisbane are even worse than we are for butchering goal scoring opportunities.
