Stiff Arm

Good luck to Ooze if he does get the job. Was an important part of our 2021 premiership

The simple reason we may pay some of his contract is because it would free up cap space to spend elsewhere. Could be that we get a better pick in return if we pay some. Just like the trading for him with Collingwood 12 mths ago.

Cornes would love reading this thread. It's exactly what he wants to achieve: clickbait and relevance

If Grundy asks to leave, we may well pay some of his contract. I can't see us keeping him if he wants to go elsewhere I highly doubt we will pay $650k for a player of his caliber to play at Casey as back up for 4 more years, esp if there are clubs enquiring now. If we were to get a pick in the 20s, I'd go for it. Might be low 20s if we contribute, or high 20s if we do not. That was the deal 12 mths ago apparently

I thought it went down the priority number list until allocation exhausted?

This deal is Priority 3 and is not a GFG. I believe any member can get P3. As an introductory offer at the end of the H&A season, it's a great opportunity for the club to generate new members who may become ongoing members If you are Trident or Redleg you get higher priority and a GFG. Is that what you are, old dee?

Sure, but we don't know the exact year they come in, and by that time I have no doubt our culture would keep him at the dees. And maybe he wants to leave Tassie. I was born there, wont find me moving back in a hurry!!! 🏃🏃‍♂️🏃🏃‍♂️

Ah, yes. Thanks for clarification Wonder if that makes it tougher for a club receiving assistance to attract a coach

Iirc, a couple of years ago the AFL stipulated coaching contracts must include a clause that the payout is no more than 6 months, regardless of how long the contract. I might have this incorrect, but the intention was to prevent clubs having to pay out millions when they want to remove a coach where the relationship has soured. Not saying that will happen with us, but if true, goes a long way towards rendering your concerns moot

So too did Sam Blease kick 5 Max is not a great forward at all. Superstar ruck, however

Seriously, the worst post of the year Get a grip

What a dumb comment, seriously.

Thought Laurie was excellent in the last quarter Max is awsome on his own

Hawks never kick out from a behind to a contest. May... most times

Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

Is Kossie playing? Is he the sub????

Trac and Oliver need to explode in the second half. Largely unsighted so far

Umpires should get their OPSM sponsorship back

Get the Tassie kid, he looks very, very good

That's ok, means we have 5 and our 1st. Trade up and it might be 2 x top 10 picks. Would've been nice to get Reid, but the alternative is also very good

My commiserations for your unfortunate position. Good to see you back. Chin up!

Unfortunately Taylor ain't going nowhere Would we take Haynes in a salary dump? Turn his $1mill+ final year into 2 x $650k and get their top 10 pick???

No, but if we trade him, who's next? We need to be creative with support for Max, or it'll be JVR, Petty or (good God no!) BBB sacrificed as fill in ruck. Our development rucks at Casey are like baby giraffes! Who do we target?
