That can’t be right. If Hawks have delisted him and he is contracted, he must be paid his contractual amount. It can’t be that another club then just drafts him as a rookie or whatever and he forfeits what he is owed. You cant simply avoid what is owed by delisting a player and hoping someone else takes him. Maybe the other club might pay the base fee but Hawks would have to pay the rest. Otherwise it would be a restraint of trade and breach of contract.

That is why I referred to “ the bottom line ,“ which would take into account all income and expenses.

Would love to know how much the same game at the G instead, plus less costs would work out at. In other words what is the bottom line difference? Also taking away another 2 games from your fans has to be factored in, not to mention the travel for the players and the extra disruption to recovery etc. The big clubs don’t do it for a very good set of reasons, I would hope that we have now entered the same set of circumstances and can get rid of one or both games.

How disappointing!

Reckon there will some new faces in both teams, in either the Anzac game or the one before.

Ok. Well I seriously wonder if in our current position, both on and off the field, playing both games in the NT rather than say one or even none, is a bad choice.

So what is the benefit in the fixture for us agreeing to play in NT twice, 2 extra interstate games is the answer.

Pies 5 interstate to our 7, plus we also get Geelong.

That will be the 8 th game of the year not in Melbourne. Yes I know NT are 2, but that is very disappointing for Victorian fans, who want to see their team play live, without the extra expense of travel and in the case of Geelong, it’s probably sold out anyway, as it’s their first home game.

It’s a relatively meaningless stat. For example get a young star in instead of an old average player and stat gets worse.

He May not from now on. He will be Mayde to earn every possession.

Consider it done. I know a bloke who does home made wine and I will get you a bottle of his famous “ home on the grange”.???

Lions have done well lately other than losing Beams. This is another bonus for them.

Agree. Replaces Tyson, but with better disposal and higher numbers. 3rd in AFL for clearances and 9 th for contested possession. Also costs no draft pick. Could be a very handy pickup.

Barrett still employed and now by the AFL. Looks like you owe him an apology for calling him a liar.

I don’t understand this whole Academy system.

Well lads the fixture is out tomorrow so that should provoke some serious discussion, or not. Rumour that Queen’s Birthday and Anzac Day games will be away games for us. That is not good for our finances.

But we still get sent to Geelong nearly every year while other clubs never go there.

I think Mrs Bitters would identify with Rocky Road chocolates as they would describe her marriage to BBO.

Is there a specific brand one should use?

What’s the bleach for, dirty shirts?

No, is it about a Wolf that lives near a creek?

Do I need to bring my own handcuffs and chains, or will you supply them?

Pretty sure we know the answer to the Kelly question already. It would go something like this “ we are interested in any player who can improve the MFC, without naming specific players ”.

Obviously not a regular. You have ignored the inciseful discussions and in depth examinations of humanity together with, the whole searing analysis of the social structure of society. Also the diverse look at geographical locations different to our own, but including the habitats of several of our contributors.
