whatwhat say what

i read it, and agreed with it tl;dr: jesse, his management, and mfc have been respectful to one another, mfc was only going to let jesse go if it facilitated bringing may in, but peter bell has acted like a little napoleon and stuffed up what should have been an easily done deal basically on his first week on the job what's more, it's set an absolutely awful precedent for his tenure in his FIRST WEEK on the job - now fremantle are going to be perceived as difficult to work with by the vast majority of the afl industry, and treated like a pariah accordingly it's a monumental [censored] up from now the plan is: - win the premiership with jesse starring all year long - sign him up midyear after a massive victory against freo over there - get may as a free agent at the end of next year what's the bet freo fans boo him when he lines up against them at their home ground next year?

freo are a joke of a football club

mahoney good on that update - sounds as fed up with freo's bs as everyone on this board

shame to see him go, but happy he gets another deal at another club

we shall see how it plays out

it's a terrible tactical offer in my view dodoro had a reputation as a difficult negotiator, but this takes it to another level hopefully unlike gc17 we aren't absolute gumbies

awful trade

hahahahahahahaahaha

is that for real? absolutely no deal from my perspective

if we give up pick 5 as part of the may deal i will be ropeable unless we get something SIGNIFICANT back i know it's just my mfcss speaking, but i feel like we are about to be absolutely bent over and pillaged

so presumably now: neale goes to bears 5, may and kk go to melbourne for hogan 10 and future 2nd from melbourne goes to gc17 11 goes to gw$ for lobb and freo get hogan and lobb?

not from my understanding at clubs that are neither melbourne or freo - board have to approve actual pay packets over a certain level

could be as many as seven teams involved... brisbane - neale in for beams plus picks movement collingwood - beams in for langdon plus picks movement fremantle - hogan in for may plus picks movement gc17 - may out plus picks movement melbourne - hogan out for may (and kk?) plus picks movement st. kilda - hannebery in plus picks movement sydney - langdon in for hannebery plus picks movement

Boards generally have to approve final pay packets for players over a certain wage

suntan terry was saying the other day you have to use one first rounder across the course of five years - no idea when the afl made the change or announced it

Fab news Unleash beast mode!!

his raw numbers are not particularly compelling: http://websites.sportstg.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=196455977&client=0-118-0-339767-20320232

Goldstein was back to his best form, Majak was playing well, Brown and Waite and others held forward spots... I am clutching at straws as I personally rate Tyson far more highly than Preuss...

Disagree, Polec is not flakey at all

Polec adds pace Tyson adds grunt Makes two instant mix best 22 additions

If they don’t win a final at a minimum their 2019 year is a failure

i'm sticking with my 'too small, too selfish, prone to turn it over' rating (seeing as we were never in the conversation to get him; if we were, i'd adore him)

i wouldn't be including any further picks of ours in the trade with them 5 and 14 and langdon for hogan i would consider 5 and next year's future first and langdon i would consider, and then probably say, sure, and cerra for our future first too no matter what happens i want the pick BEFORE them in this year's draft then 14 or freo future first, 41 and tyson to gc17 for may and kk

That’s essentially what Port did with Boak in 2018 and it doesn’t work; they can’t contribute effectively to the defensive press which, when coupled with non-defensive key forwards such as Dixon (see Plugger Mac for us) and Watts (Hogan), means that you’re extremely limited in terms of the pressure you can place on blokes Jones was fine on the wings imo - as I think he said on On the Couch, the reason why he’s played more wing in 2018 is that an experienced player can read the play more effectively than a kid, and contribute both going forward and back He ain’t quick, but he’s smart

need another wicket tonight to get us past 186 i feel...
