Redleg

If true could be the new Head of Football.

Whately a Cats' fan, was scathing of Hinkley for the aeroplane, but was very circumspect on Scott and Smith over their abuse of females doing their job.

That’s what I was getting at Luci, the AFL has some rules different to the general employment marketplace. Tbh they seem pretty fair too, as why should someone be allowed to double up? We have effectively allowed Simon to take a long term employment ,when he was only contracted for 1 more year with us. I am sure there will be some credit given to us on his termination payment, as a result of his new AFL job with the Swans.

Well said Picket. I see Oliver being like Newcombe, getting the ball out to other players from the clearance. He is only 28 and has plenty of footy left in him and we saw signs he is getting back to his best. Get a bit more pace and skill into the side and he becomes even more important, to give us first use of the ball. He loves the club, will have a new Coach and will be really invigorated to get back to being the best contested player we have and one of the best in the AFL. Others may leave, but Clarry stays and is ours. We will be cheering him on next year and for years after.

Danny I think he is doing the right thing honoring his commitment. It should be Geelong that might have reservations not us. Also just to shut McClure up, if the Cats win the GF, we have a 3 time Premiership Assistant Coach, rather than a 1 time one in Bucks.

I never realized Holmes is 190 cms. Looks much shorter on the ground. Such a pity Cats got that traded pick ahead of us.

I thought Tom Atkinson was sensational and if not for Danger would have been BOG.

Smashed in the ruck but Cats dominating clearances. Cats rucking a big ruck rover.

No free kick against May either. Easiest 3 weeks ever. Classic pinned both arms, drives him head first into the ground. Result concussion. Chol 3 weeks minimum.

Sure about that?

He was actually left handed and kicked right foot, though he was simply brilliant both sides of his body.

You and me both. Yes the greatest Demon.

I am no expert on termination payouts, but surely this can’t be right. He could not take the Swans job if he was still employed by us. Surely the employment contract envisaged this scenario, as it is not a new one. Hopefully there will be some offset.

Might be a late out tomorrow.

How did I know that was coming?

Yes, when he was an automatic choice as our FB.

McStay?

Well actually they have. Don’t discount Carlton. Silvagni gone, McGovern likely gone and O’Farrell injured and out for the year.

Big IF!

Yep and we might bring back Lachie Hunter.

We are getting Ginnivan, Maynard, JUH and Bailey Smith.

I would be surprised if a club doesn’t approach Laurie. Has had great VFL form, but is not one of our senior choices. He would be a cheap get for a club that needs mids, like the Crows for example. I also think WC could go after Woey, who also would be a cheap get for their senior side, back home and with more opportunities.

I think surely he would and that is part of the equation. His contract was extended when he was one of our best.

Injured for some of his first year with us and then a season ending injury this year. I would try and do a deal on his last year of his 3 year contract with us, but it looks like he is staying. He does have talent, if only he could get and stay fit.

Thank you Ghosty and you are welcome. I am so glad that you can look beyond my beautiful exterior and see the beautiful soul that is beneath it.
