You don't need to do that, I was heavy handed I will admit. NB is right, free agency is only going to make this worse. Which is apart of why I have taken my "I will believe an honest 19 year old kid" stance - I don't want to continually do this dance when FA comes in. The signing of contracts will be delayed more and more under FA, and there comes a time when you just have to trust a kid before you trust a rumour.

This post should probably be deleted.

I think we both like this forum too much to do that, surely? I think you are smart guy, RR, but if you are going to get antsy after someone pulls you up on what you just wrote - you need a thicker skin. If he stays, I will be happy Dees supporter - like you. If he goes, I will be disappointed but still a Dees supporter - like you.

You are extolling the virtues of one of our players (Trengove) by backhanding another (Scully). Not only is that poor form, it was just plain wrong. Tom has said he wants to be a one club player, just as Jack.

You were casting aspersions on Tom's character once again by questioning his loyalty based on his words. You were Wrong to do it, and just plain wrong.

Massive RR Fail, as Scully says the same damn thing...

Jeez, you're as precious as Cale Morton...

Tony Shaw now? A footy journalist will be quoted soon by other footy journalists and we have DIVIDED BY ZERO!!

They are just people, you realise. That spend some of their own time to manage the nonsense we spout on here every day. Respect?

I don't know, I guess considering it is a public forum, the intended audience would be the entire forum community, not just those with over 5000 posts.

Wow. Ok. Sarcasm. Relating to Scully situation. Whoosh!

My position is two-fold: 1. I believe he hasn't signed already, as I think he is an honest kid who just wants to think about his footy. 2. I believe the MFC has progressed to the stage that would make me wonder why anyone would want to leave. Happy to argue the toss on the second one. But I have racked up my post count on the first one - and I will continue to defend Tom from those accusations... It's a sideways response to your question - I am basically trying to say that I am invested in Tom's character and the ability of the Stynes-Schwab-Bailey led club to keep its players, rather than just Tom staying at the club.

You know what happens if you assume? Actually, nothing happens to me in this instance... It's more of an assu.

I, another journalist, will quote you, also a journalist, over your 98% claim. Completely looking past the fact that if one journalist quotes another, that makes them an idiot. A giant effing idiot.

He's damaging the club and is becoming a major distraction for the club because journos are constantly talking amongst themselves and quoting each other over the non-progress of the contract discussions. Give him a contract, if he signs it, he plays. If he doesn't, well, we know how to handle

What? The guy openly admits he has trouble seeing himself as a leader. He also admits to not being the most professional person when it comes to recovery (and he has constantly been in recovery in his 8 years...) And Jamar never seems to be in the argument for the leaders of the club. Great ruck, good ruck brain, good at teaching rucks, ruck, ruck, ruck. He would be a great leader at the Dees if we went in with 9 or ten rucks...

He's in our top echelon right now, which probably explains why we are struggling.

I think the club will be keen to hang on to Colin... I don't think they are going to force him out.

The rest of us should put this rider on our posts... All will be revealed in time. From the decision in Sept/Oct, to the many interviews, to the tell-all books, and finally the recanting on the death bed. All will be revealed.

I am a cracker, it's true.

That's racist.

Watts? Jamar? An effload of other players? And Morton's first two years were quite good. In fact, he was one of the reasons to go to the footy in 08 and 09. He's stalled but don't hold him to an unfair example.

Mods are people too, you know. Even Rhino. And you can't use old posts against people? Yeah, it's unfair when I get held to my own words...

Once again I am lost reading one of your posts. Get rid of the not properly used elipses and talk in English. Or at least Spanglish... Something.
