How the [censored] have some of you got through more than once? I can’t get through at all. 2 computers trying for over an hour and no luck. At least it stopped crashing half an hour ago but this queue is endless.

Been trying for half an hour, can’t get past the queue and it keeps crashing and sending me to the back of the line. Getting very frustrated

Nothing has changed yet. We made finals and that's great, but it means nothing. 40+ years of the emotional trauma that comes with being a demon is not going to be healed by just making finals. Only a premiership will begin to heal those wounds. A dynasty would go a long way to enabling a full recovery

Yep, got that one wrong, not on my pat Malone there. Happy to admit it and in hindsight very very happy with the result. We pick Wines and Roos never comes and the club is probably still a mess. You on the other hand are pretty much always wrong. Even asking Jones to leave would be a monumental slap in the face. It would [censored] him off after he stuck with us through everything and the younger guys, esp Braysh, would be being told that no matter how good a servant you are we’ll treat you like crap when it suits us. Loyalty is a two way street and your idea would ruin all the gains we’ve made to our culture in the last 5 years

Worst , most clueless poster ever to contribute to these boards. Would do more damage to our club than the forced retirement of Jnr McDonald. There's a saying you should take to heart, "it's better to stay silent and appear a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Can anyone tell me how the matching of offers works? If we offer a short term contract on mega dollars, say $3mill for 2 years with a verbal agreement that his next contract would be 4 years at $400-450 thousand per year. We're essentially matching WC's 6 years at $800,000. (These numbers are theoretical and unimportant, I don't want to argue the specifics, I'm interested in the mechanics.). Would our offer render the Eagles 6 year offer redundant and force them to match our 2 year offer? Our list is younger than theirs and could probably afford to take a bigger hit in the short term and it leaves more space when we have to re-sign our young stars on better dollars. Gaff also gets a big portion of his 6 years with us paid upfront which he can invest to make even more $'s over his contract length. I'm pretty sure Luke Ball did something similar to get to Collingwood in the draft. Nominated a massive 2 year price for himself with a verbal agreement to accept less on his next contract.
