I mean if I had to guess I'd say he was offered a 1 year deal and West Coast are offering something like 3 similar to the Dean Kent situation? Just a guess.

How the hell can you run a coaching shortlist process if one guy keeps grandstanding like this? I agree, his postion on the board should be in jeopardy.

If I were West Coast, going for Bowes makes a bit more sense than going for Hunt. Would be great if they entered the battle for him but it does seem like Geelong are favourites at this stage.

Yeah it's more like a proven stop gap solution to help them along in their rebuild even though it might not be long term.

Yeah I had no-where better to be that day either! I'd grown up with the mindset that going to Melb games even when we were terrible was still better than dealing with trouble at home. Wona's celebration is burned right into the old memory bank! Farmer's 9 at the G against the Filth was just magic and the 2000 QF against Carlton will probably always take the cake as far as memories at that ground. Being right up the back at the Punt Rd end and seeing all those goals go through, will never forget it. Couple of others coming to mind, Rd 6 in 2006 Fri night at the G against the Cats. It was a wet and freezing night and it really looked like they had us on toast. Enter two kids Lyndenn Dunn and Matty Bate who kicked valuable goals to pull us back into it, then in that 4th quater Josh Hunt marks to have a shot to seal it and taunted at one of our guys (can't remember who) and fluffed the kick. We come back and hold on for a great win to go 3-3 after starting 0-3.

Ah we wish! You know how long I hoped Aguero would miss the Spanish sunshine and leave earlier? 😛

I'm feeling the same way that the best offer may be the first one. Not interested in giving a second rounder back but possibly a 3rd of 4th? Not sure.

So if North don't get a deal done for Logue they are prepared to take him in the pre season draft? The richochet effect means West Coast are next in line and would take Jackson. Not sure how that affects our deal for Jackson but I kind of hope that North's no.1 PSD pick stays open as a threat as long as possible. Every bit counts.

Yeah, have to say it's a strange move from West Coast to begin with.

Jivin' Clive.

I do too but gee it would be nice to replace some of the speed lost there.

DId he have another brother Yzier who was a handy forward as well or are they the same person?

I'm not comfortable with the idea of two of our more pacey players walking out the door. I know speed isn't everything but it can't hurt having it.

Who would have thought this would be a messy trade? Forget Jackson not being the the best fit for them in the first place, they have little draft capital to offer, all decent trade bait signed up or going elsewhere and potential cap issues on the horizon. Should have been a sinch 😛

You're right, it is being human and I know I preach club over player all the time but I've never said it's always easy. Some players are the fabric of a football club and their departure but tear that fabric apart. Depsite the football club making ruthless calls at the time that they thought wewre for the benefit of the club, the Shane Woewodin and Junior Mac decisions really haunted me andI felt we lost something that took more time to recover from than other departures. So yeah, it should be club before player but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Character is a big thing at a footy club. 🙁

Sounding like Freo want a second rounder in return along with Jackson which I was hoping to use as part of the Grundy deal. All comes down to how that one works out

That's going to have a ripple effect. Wonder how many clubs will now want to trade up and get their hands on Cadman now.

He'd be the one on-side media guyat Port to leak to for smokescreen prurposes. I buy it

Not going to jump down the guy's throat as I haven't fully read what he said but the 'bump in the road' comment at first glance sits in the same bucket as the 'proud day' comment from Eddie after the Do Better report. This is not a bump, there is full on roadworks on the Westgate bridge and no way round other than diving off into the water and swimming round it. Bumps in the highway are player drink driving incidents or Clarko assaulting a fan. This is not a minor blip in history and hopefully this guy acknowledges it.

Hey hey, whoa whoa, no need for lynching 😛. You're obviously not a fool.

You do have to leave the door open for that stuff I guess. I still get this slight unprofessional feel from him though, it does seem a bit Scully like. Have to feel for North.

That time has screamed by, remember vividly that night. Mark Fine was doing his night show on SEN and was in tears, not even a Melbourne fan. That's the effect that Tulip had on the wider football community.

He's gonna need it.

I think this is really pathetic

I call serious BS on the no right of reply thing. That just doesn't wash.
