Hopefully someone will sit Jesse down without his Manager and explain the first rules of negotiation. 1. What are the needs of the other side? 2. Always look for the "Blue" Do I need to explain what the "Red" is! Take a bow Dorks! 3. Do your due diligence eg pressure points, hopes vs wants. 4. Only seriously low ball and potentially insult the the other party when having addressed the above 3 and being in a position of power and even then do it with grace and honesty. 5. Never give your hand away by making things public until you are sure of the outcome. 6. It's ok to withhold, it's not ok to mislead. (Caveat: Unless you absolutely know you won't get caught out) 7. The best and easiest negotiations are Win/Win I could go on but by now you might see that there is one side that has known what they are doing and if JH doesn't recognise that then I will be happy to see him cut lose next year. As a friend often says "You can't put brains in monuments". Disclaimer: Yes, I have significant training and experience in this area and I have had negotiations break down and people walk away. Never have I had a feeling that the people walking away didn't think I was not to be trusted or that our time had been wasted.

We have a winner!! Beers are good downstairs but the Whisky Master upstairs knows his spirits. I don't want to deter anyone but Mrs Worship was impressed with the 60 or so varieties of Gin and the 80 odd Vodkas as well

Sorry, but a change in name to Muppet is starting to look appropriate.

I know a place in Queenscliff

F the small glass

Would you believe.... "insert Maxwell Smart" line here

And as a bonus, there will be a few other players who wont have to look for new accommodation.

Sorry, but as long as you keep that avatar you will forever lack credibility

Possibly

No actually, I mean; if Jesse leaves we can afford the May trade so there is something in it for us. I think the club has taken a pragmatic approach and will be content with whatever the outcome is.

I lol'd

Sorry Febes, I understand that nuance and semantics are somewhat lost on you and others on DL. In plain language the MFC is asking "what's in it for us?" This is a different prepossession to wanting him to go or stay.

I have and they're murky

There is zero evidence they want him to go.

$1.2m ... time to dig the old "Scully" money bag out of the bottom draw. No matter what we get in return he will need to cop it if he plays us over here and his nose needs to be rubbed in it during our next 5 yrs of dominance.

Got a reply from the Club this morning, short and to the point. Thanks for contacting the Melbourne Football Club. Neville Jetta will be attending. Kind Regards, Steph STEPHANIE BREHENY ‑ SUPPORTER ENGAGEMENT OFFICER

What he is saying is that if we had failed to get to a Prelim Final many of the posters on here would have blamed it on A. The non Camp. B. The players are no good. C. It's all Goodwins fault (and probably Jack Watts too). Most likely all 3. Saying this to the glass half empty fraternity is a pointless exercise much like me posting this or trying to explain Schrodinger's cat. What should have been said is "eat a fat one naysayers". I'm sure in the fullness of time the negative, highly critical here, will find something else to be wrong about. Is there still snow at Mt Buller? Go Dees!! And of course #2 #6 #11 #9 and all the other numbers.

From 72% time on the ground 46 SC points 7k, 4HB, 2M, 2 T know wonder we are talking about someone else coming in....... I'm just saying

Not according to the invitee list. The 3 other nominees are listed but not Lord.

Cannot let this go, I've sent a please explain to the MFC asking about the non invite of Nev Jetta. Of course I got an auto reply saying they will try to reply within 3 days. For all you keyboard warriors out there, like our team put up or shutup. I'm calling on Demonland members to email , twitter and facebook the Club first, to ask what they are doing to address this. If we don't see any action start doing the same to the idiots at the AFL. Still no action, then it is off to the Media as a last resort. We want to keep this as in house as we can but I'm so pizzed about this that some action must be taken.

Well that just says so much about what a joke the AFL is. Neville Jetta is one of 4 nominees for the Stynes Medal, also presented on the night, he isn't going to get that award though because he isn't invited. Of course the other 3 are. I'm sure the people making these decisions aren't racist they probably just don't care. The AFL - an organisation of idiots led by an incompetent fool.

Anyone who has done a bit of boxing or indeed been confronted by some aggressive drunk should know that if your opponent has a parallel stance instead of a spread/ braced stance they are at a disadvantage. Clayton doesn't dive he has been in the wrong stance when shoved thus ending up on his back. A free should be paid for putting a player on their back off the ball. If you are too dumb to recognise the player is not braced then that is the perpetrators problem.

Nicholls more than makes up for the outs. Worth around 20 possessions and 3 goals. To say nothing of momentum killing.

Cannot be bothered going back through the 46 previous pages to see if this has been raised previously but my response to an Essendon supporting mate today was.... "why the rush, I'd like to see a Demons side with any 3 at one time of Weid, Tmac, Gawn, and Hogan on the ground. Occasionally we might have all 4 out there, wouldn't that be a nightmare for the opposition. Our side is not based on a stay at home forward or a ruck that only does ruck work. People need to stop buying into media BS and realise there may be a case to eventually trade someone to make for a stronger list but at the moment we have no idea where the ceiling is for most of the current list . In simple terms .. lets not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Sounds like what I heard about Melksham from Essendon supporters
