Incorrect, they can do what they want.

Don't think I have cared less about a Brownlow night.

The birdman rally at Moomba is fun.

Freo offer is reported at $4m over 7 years and that is over $570k per year. Who said we are offering $550-$600k per year for 5 years. I sincerely doubt that.

Interesting tidbit in the press. Gill suggested to Little that it would help players if they voluntarily stepped down from playing for a few weeks. Little apparently didn't even pass on the suggestion to the player's reps.

D day.

Not sure if we are in fact in the race for Mitchell, but it is often Carlton that beats us to the player we want. Sometimes for the better for us. They took Warnock when we wanted him and he has failed and they took Camporeale in the draft, but left us with Yze and then of course Judd and quite a few others.

Disagree. He is an Adelaide guy and would have some appeal to a club like Port, who are desperate for a 2nd big guy for a couple of years.

If that is true we would certainly be in a better position to get Jaksch in a Frost deal with GWS.

Clickety clicks all the sixes 66.

What about a trade of Jamar to Port? They are desperate for a ruckman to assist Lobbe. Should be a player or pick we could use.

There is a formula. Age and amount and length of contract are the criteria. On that basis Chip is band one, end of story. If not band one, take it to Court.

Buckley saying HL needs to go to another club. Would think bargaining power decreases with that comment. They want him out and he has one year left on a contract they don't want to honour. If we want him and he wants us we should turn this to our advantage.

Not unreasonable to expect the following to happen in the near future: Hird paid out and leaves. Maybe Bomber stays on. Board resigns. Players do a deal with ASADA, on favourable terms in regards to penalty.

Players that in a year or two later nobody will post that we should have taken somebody else.

67 A pretty soft day. 6 & 7 =13 1 & 3 = 4

This is the biggest mess ever in the AFL/VFL history.

I was referring to those who want him physically harmed. Those who want blood. I can honestly say that if he has done the wrong thing by us and leaves, I would not be unhappy if the Pies get no value from him, but I don't wish him to break his leg or get run over by a bus.

Agree. There is more to be gained in getting blokes on the up, than the down. We have to identify young blokes not getting a game, who are better than our players and have scope to improve.

What is really depressing is reading posts where posters are wishing physical harm on someone. That is just pathetic. I would venture to say that not one poster on here, including GNF, knows the whole truth about this situation. We seem to have a lynch mob mentality on here over this issue. How about people grow up and stop their own disgusting behaviour and let the issue play out to its conclusion. Then we might get an inside into the truth.

Poor game from Ollie. Same from Chad except for last 10 minutes. Westhoff disposal poor. Polec scared could have kicked 4 goals in the first. Cornes disposal very poor.

Agree. Robbie Gray 15 metres out was thrown to the ground with the ball nowhere near him. Richo said it was disgraceful not to get a free. That last holding the ball against Port was pathetic and then straight after Hawks did the same and ball up 40 metres out from Port's goal. The two goals Hawks got from frees were ordianary and got them back in the game in 2nd quarter. Thought Port got the raw end all night. Stevic was hopeless.

Then I am surprised no one has tried to re shape it, when they have played us.

He may have already been banned from AFL for life. Certainly from NRL.

Incorrect. Usual appeals are based on the decision being wrong in law and against the weight of the evidence. Not sure that is present here. I think the Bombers board is now split and needs to find an end to this and maybe their Board positions, not forgetting terminating the Coach's contract.
