Good player, universally liked and gave us his best in over 100 games. He was a great get. Thanks Bernie, enjoy retirement from playing AFL.

I presume the club would tell him we see a 3 key forward man forward line as a real weapon and ensuring one of you gets the 3rd best opposition defender and we are also looking at playing Jesse further up the ground and even in defence. Cant ever see the club telling him he was Insurance If I was Sam that would make me happy.

I thought Viney was an in next week.

Keep watching.

So if you were one of them you would ask to be traded.

One thing we know is that players get injuries. I think all of Tom, Jesse and Sam missed games this year. I would rather have 3 good key forwards than 2. One can always play in another position if need be.

I owned a horse called Legion, that became a stallion, much like my good self. BTW, we are f....d. Hopefully I can still be posting this in 3 weeks.

And there is nothing wrong or stupid in discussing that on a fan forum.

According to Jon Ralph who spoke to Jesse’s Manager, he is going nowhere. Loves the club and players, just got his licence and happier than he has ever been in Melbourne. Think we can put speculation to bed .

We don’t do camp, cop crap in the media and make finals. Crows do camp, get better run in media initially but now copping it, miss finals. Now let me think, go to camp or don’t. PS. Tex to Lever, “you are taking the money and missing finals”. No Tex, getting both, other than injury which caused inability to play in finals. Bonus for Lever gets to play at a stable club in his home state other than one interstate that is disintegrating from within.

Well I will change my wording to can’t see them “playing”Tyson against the Cats. However, as you said if he is 100% they will play him. I don’t think he will be. Hope I am wrong as he has found his form again.

Thought Spargo was down for a couple of weeks but lifted this week and played well. He is going nowhere. Agree on the ins, Viney and Hannan. Can't see them risking Tyson and JKH who played ok will stay. If we win,Tyson may press for a return.

Eagles offered him 6 years at $850k a year and North 7 years at $1.2m a year. If we were in the game, we would have to offer at least 6 years at $1m a year. That would be a $2.4m difference or about $1.2m after Tax give or take.

That's because not too many clubs move.

I think most just vent over missed opportunities and really they are blaming the recruiters, not the recruits.

Best post on the thread.

He is clearly waiting until Eagles season is over. If figures reported/mentioned are true, he would be sacrificing about $3m-$3.5m to play with us. Can't see that happening.

Hugh Goddard delisted by Saints. I really thought this guy was going to be a very good player, but was cruelled by injuries. Think he will be picked up by another club.

Yes John.

Found that surprising, considering he seemed to have as good a game as a couple of nominees, if not better, on a few occasions.

Petracca is building. Could have had 5-6 on sunday. Panicked after his first miss with that play on kick. It is only a matter of time until he kills a game and absolutely dominates.

Talk is that PP's will be after first round. That wouldn't do it for McGovern.

Maybe, but Fogarty and Lukosius will be their key forwards for years to come, if they can get him.

Crows apparently are happy to trade him. They want Lukosius.

Well if they don't give their first pick, what do they have to get a player who is contracted for 2 more years? Also, he is obviously being offered plenty by Carlton, but other clubs would surely match that, why them? He also wanted to return to Perth last year. I don't understand this.
