Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
If true, it’s horrible and my heart goes out to all who were affected.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
I don’t think Max is a key forward, but are we judging him in a year where he was banged up with a few injuries and playing to a game plan that doesn’t suit him? Max used sparingly up forward and getting one out, is a different proposition to the one going up in the pocket with BBB and 3 defenders smashing them. A fresher, fitter, Max, going forward for short bursts and being in space, is a real problem for the opposition. He won’t be out marked too often one on one. That’s how I see him being best used by us, with Grundy doing most of the heavy lifting. He can work on his kicking for goal and that can improve and Grundy will prolong his career and have him fresher and fitter in finals.

Wants to play with his brother at Geelong. He will be the Rohan replacement.

He doesn't need to, he is happy with his contract. He won't look to break his contract. He will be offered to us.

I can see him do his Natural Born Boogie now.

CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport
Correct. Run in and grab his jumper and pull him back, you don’t make contact when guy is bending down over the ball. Also could have run in and had an easier shot on goal a few minutes earlier. Anyway it’s very difficult conditions.

Why aren't we a destination club?
The marshmallow man strikes again. Sydney assistant coach Don Pyke won’t pursue the Essendon coaching job.

Trade and Free Agency rumours
We are talking about salary cap room and we were right into him. We therefore had room. Your assertion we don’t have room for an A grade player is another wild guess. You haven’t got a clue whether we have or not, so stop acting like you really know our salary cap details. Unless you are Tim Lamb or work with him, you have no better idea than the rest of us.

How do you know we can’t afford an A grade player? What is the amount of money left in our salary cap next year? It was widely reported that Cerra nominated us to his manager, but was advised we couldn’t better or equal Carlton’s pick 5 and he went to them instead. I didn’t make it up. Cerra would be a Demon if we had pick 5 last year, or he had waited a year. We were right into him, so clearly could afford him.

We have Tom with 2 years to go at probably more and he has just re injured his foot after also being out for most of the season and BBB with 2 years left, also at good money, with a degenerating knee. This stuff happens on player lists all the time.

Maybe we should ask Clarry, Tracc, Viney, etc in the middle and maybe Kozzie and Spargo in the forward 50, if they would be happy with Grundy rucking for them.

I think with respect you are factually wrong in a lot of this post. We had Cerra, but couldn't do a trade better than Carlton's pick 5. So obviously we could fit him into the our cap at the time. We were offering Jacko a pretty good contract as reported, but he wants to go home. He is not leaving just for money. If he was, we would have probably retired Melk and Hibbo which would have left an extra amount in the pot. A poster on here said he had personal reasons as well and I accept that is probably true. We know he loved the players and the club. All clubs have name players on varying amounts of money and we are not alone in that regard. Why are we bringing in Grundy, maybe Gunston and are chasing another key forward, as well as keeping Hibbo and Melk, if we have no salary cap room then?

Why must it? Every side has their better players who are on good contracts. There are so many variables and actual amounts we know nothing about. That's why I never refer to salary cap space, because I wouldn't have a clue what our numbers are from year to year, but I know that Tim Lamb would.
