Redleg

He now has a stress fracture in his foot. Would need to be very careful. Pies may not be only wanting to salary dump, but crock dump too.

IF we want Grundy I would be offering about $600k per year, with Pies to pay the rest and receive around pick 50. If they don't like it Grundy can say he is staying. Step 1 is to get Grundy onside and to say he will only go to the Dees or stay a Pie. Then we do the negotiating. I would never give the Pies a round one pick for him, nor would I accept two lowly round one picks for Jackson. That would be absolutely ridiculous, for trading a 20 year old potential champion, premiership player and former pick 3.

Rowell continued playing, not hurt.

Yes probably $600k-$700k. I would guess they would be doing it to preserve Max’s body and lengthen his career. They then could get key forwards in the LJ trade, by getting one from Freo, plus a high pick to get another and maybe a Meek as the Insurance or a young rookie ruck. Could solve most problems with the list in one hit.

It will be a salary dump and he will go for a late pick and Pies paying a chunk. He holds the cards. They want his salary out. They do the deal, or he stays for 5 years on full pay. Does sound like we have accepted LJ going.

Noel McMahon, Barassi, Jim Durnan, Cameron Clayton, Byron Pickett, Crackers, Mark Jackson, Stewart Gull, Phil Carman to add a few more.

That was studs up into the face.

I think player was pushed into him, or he was pushed into player.

If we win our 2 and Pies beat Swans you get your wish.

Gerard Whately described it as good entertainment. A bloke being attacked, head driven into the ground, elbows and fists on his face, while on the ground defenceless, against 5 players. Yep great entertainment. Stuff the rules. I think we need some nastiness back in our play. Maynard smashed Langdon and ANB and also belted Max in the back of the head, in a spoil in our forward pocket. No free to Max of course. We need to get nasty and ruthless with our tackles and tackle to hurt. Teams need to know that we mean business. I think we have become nice guys, helping the opposition up off the ground and joking with them during the game. Harden up guys and hit hard and often.

Has been going on all season.

How do you reckon Paddy Ryder will feel, considering he stopped, stood still and a player ran into him and got whiplash? He copped 2 weeks. No concussion, no bump.

Did you think Chandler's legal tackle, until a concussion resulted, deserved his two? Did you think ANB's sling deserved 4 in a 17 week season?

You may only have to wait a few weeks for our chance to dish out some punishment. We win both and Pies beat Swans and it’s on.

I have mentioned it in 3 threads. Do you mean the media, they are agenda based?

ANB has just fainted. MRO reason was head smashing into the ground was not severe enough. Give us a break.

In the Hibberd and Viney goal frees, the ball was immediately knocked from their grasp, just as they grabbed it. McCreary was allowed ages to just keep trying to get rid of the ball, until he dropped it and Sidebottom was swung around 360 twice and both play on. Lipinski and Crisp both dropped the ball, after being held by one arm, in our goals square and play on. There is 6 decisions all going one way to one club no matter what the circumstances. Is it incompetence, or fear of the crowd, just like the Crows deliberate last year, which wasn't paid. I know players make mistakes and umpiring is difficult, but seriously, how does it go one way?

We win our 2 games and Pies beat Swans, then we play Pies at G in a QF. ( Third time lucky? ) That will do me.

Another problem is he made no attempt to touch the ball, just braced for the bump and got him.

That’s what I said. Disgraceful umpiring, but what can you expect with 40000 screaming all game at them.

Throw in Treacy and yes. Would mean you pick up a ruck and 2 key Vic forwards for Jacko as you would get Cadman. Fun and games.

Why would Dogs let him go? Of course we would be thrilled to get him, but surely he is untouchable.

Great mark and ok kick but he is 192 cms. We were very interested in drafting him.

Did you notice Pendles come in late, as Langdon was lying on the ground with 2 fists resting/pushing into his face, with a forearm to the jaw? Yes the clean Pies Captain, who then whinges to the umpires for the whole game, like he does every week.

See my new rule of the week thread. He had at least 3 frees in that incident without one being paid. I thought it was disgusting. The commentators are now confirmed garbage as their comments were not about any free missed but that the violence showed the Pies had come to play. What about the pile drive of his head into the ground by Maynard? MRO will be a nothing to see hear from ex Pie Christian.
