We will have their logo on the jumper apparently...

I understand, but only MFC supporters are worried about how to trade him, every other supporter's furrowed brow is concerned with how to trade for him. At some point we are going to have to be confident with keeping and developing the good players we have.
-
Nor mine. Do shareholders get told what their executives are getting paid? Should they be told? We are in a socialised compeition where the disparity seems to be increasing between those at the top and bottom. Transparency over contracts would benefit the desire to even up the league. Players can compare themselves to others and the underpaid players that Hawthorn are cramming in will look at what others are on at other clubs and ask questions and look to get market value - and that desire is what drives a good salary cap regulated league. Players moving around, getting market value, evening the competition.

Ok, those going for a slogan with gravitas are getting more laughs from me than the 'comedic' ones...
-
Nasher has said there will be a free gift to the first poster to post proof of MFC confirmation.
-
Nowhere in the manual to "Build a Great Culture" is the chapter "Trading the 18 year old Star fans already love" I honestly think we have been so bereft of good, sound decisions these last 7 years that MFC fans wouldn't know one if we landed one in a mini-draft.
-
I completely disagree. I would make all contracts public. I say this from a salary cap perspective; if there is some transperancy with who gets paid what I think it would be more difficult to do the kind of nonsense that brought us The Tippett Saga.
-
Wow, that is different to what I heard... Maybe we offered him 3 years to get him down from Brisbane. This is normal and I hope that Roos realises that he can have 'his team' in a year's time and it won't cost us $700k+ in payouts to get 'his team' right now. Plus it gives him a year to butter up people and get who he wants.
-
IF (yeah, yeah) we get Pick 1 then there is no right or wrong decision on what we do with that pick - only what we do with that pick. Do we go Boyd? Do we get two mids with 1 and 3? Do we trade for a young midfield star to be? Each hypothetical has merit and downside, each one will be judged over time, each one will be seen as an important decision for our future. Roos wrote in that article from months ago, when he was obviously starting to get his head around coaching in 2014, that he would trade either or both for established midfielders but when push comes to shove you don't want be a pushover.
-
Yes, and the meeting of staff usually happens after or immediately preceding the presser.
-
Yeah, I don't really care. I have about 5 players at my footy club, the rest are assets to be retained and developed or bartered for other assets. I believe we have mitigated the disaster that would be an entry to the ND and we can do as Roos pleases with regard to asset number 4.
-
It's very cute to talk about the CEO as assistance wyl, it loses its cuteness when you realise that CEO has asked for draft assistance. 'We got you a CEO! How dare you allow him to try and make you better!' [eye roll gif]
-
I didn't know you were asking a question after 4 question marks, but I was convinced after the 7th.
-
Yeah. Tell them how to play footy and it still isn't working for them - it sure ain't the coach.
-
...and a little bit disturbing. Was it your avatar or something?
-
Yeah, I wouldn't bother with Magner and Couch. It really is dependent on who we can bring in and whether we get a PP but I would: Watts, Sylvia (UFA), Davey (RFA), Taggert, Tynan, Nicholson, MacDonald, Sellar, Jetta, Davis, Couch ®, Magner ®, Rodan, Gillies, Clisby ®, Stark ® That is 8 PL spots and 2 RL spots. With Hogan, ND2, ND17, ND35, ND55, and PSD2 as they 6 additions that are a baseline to bring into the club. I have left two spots for a FA, Delisted FA and/or Draft Assistance. If there is a better option out there better than Tynan and Taggert then pull the trigger there aswell. Both should be available for RL if desired. And if we have a spot available and we keep missing our targets then upgrading Clisby is an option.
-
RF is a Foundation Hero, the staff are excited. And you don't have to question the veracity - I will vouch for RF.
-
He spreads very well; Clisby, Jones x 2, Grimes, and Terlich are the only Demons in the top 150 Average Uncontested Possession winners. Clisby is =64th in the league and the best Demon (Matt Jones and Dean Terlich are 2nd and 3rd).
-
No, but you make a good point DeeZee. The difference is you have a tangible to criticise where it is difficult to criticise the barren land that is our midfield.
-
I think part of the swans 'no d-heads' policy was clamping down on the behaviour with existing players not simply avoiding d-heads in recruitment. Kurt Tippett case in point.
-
It depends on whether they were going to use Pick 1 to trade for a star, and whether we could do the same thing... We don't have pick 1 as it stands now anyway.
-
Well said, mephis. A similar argument can be made for the priority pick issue.
-
Clisby can stay on the rookie list another season, they may elevate but there is that option.
-
Again, Sheahan's rear end is where this comes from - Lynch is a player agent so he must be good at spotting talent...
