You know...I dont feel too bad about all this at all. I think many are glossing over a great deal. So many still think we're losing a #1 pick. We are and we arent. Weve got our true #1 and hes sticking. His names Jack..worth 3 of that bloke Tom. Scully , and just being realistic here, isnt what the masses would have us suspect or consider. He'll be good, but nothing like the hype. His knees are dodgy, even now, so will need ultra managing and will always now be suss. He actually has two sides to his game. One good, one limited. His engine and work ethic is to be admired. His disposal is laughable in the main. Not good over head under duress. Slick of handball ...but to where/whom. Is actually right up there in the turnovers stats. Sure to improve some but some tempered evaluation ought to be applied. I reckon we dodged a bullet. I reckon the brains at the Club know this and are playing their cards very close and tight lest others get wind too soon. If we play out the "oh poor us " act really well, we'll get some decent picks and we'll move on. Public sentiment will be behind us and allis right in the world. For me anyways. Having said that we could have all lived without this sh!t all year !! The end is nigh...well the end to all this charade !!

And the clouds begin to clear. As you say SMcF its a tour for the olds.

Yes..its based on formulae.. Part of all that is inferred value.. i.e the respective contracts on table etc etc. The higher the pay form GWS..the higher the compo to us. Its all a game....Smoke and mirrors you know

Maybe he didnt ...maybe he actually told Jimmy the truth...Its just not the truth many here would suppose it is. It this moment I suspect aht the MFC knew how all this was going to pan out and elected to play along ( as if it really has a choice ) but in a manner to exact its greatest compensation.

Gold

And do you really believe that the Club hasnt suspected for along time whats really happening...and KNOWN it for just a bit less ? This is Football..a War played as Sport...and the first casualty of War is ..........?

Act 3 Scene 4 , Scully boards plane and waves goodbye . all thats left is for him to ride off into the west tick tick

The reality is as many are want to suggest we dont know what goes on behind closed doors. This is an extremely volatile period regarding picks and trading. The sculldugery surrounding Tom ( sorry hard to resist) is only part of the game. There are the on trades GWS has at its disposal etc etc. . There is much jockeying for position for what scraps and morsels become available. The Giants are in the box seat and we must to a point play a game or at least feign playing it if we are to emerge with booty. So the MFC will let GWS take the lead, nothing to really gain by not doing so. Wise heads ought to prevail here.

Ah...but more often than not it does !!

What a strange and maverick idea... putting 2 and 2 together. What will they think of next

didnt we go over all of this when we alligned with Scorps ? Some figures were bandied about that the difference for a stand alone was about 250 -500 extra to what we spend on the seconds at present. Back then such money was prohibitive... but is it now ?

Well..cant say I'm inclined to shed a tear for either. Its not to be particularly bitter or such just observant of the notion that both got a case of the sooki la las for their respectiver reasons and went. Brocks turn of loyalty probably caught most off guard. But he'll finish his career probably wondering if maybe he beat his chest a bit too much. Bruce, I distinctly remember his positions come contract times. In the end the karma fairy smacked him and I cant say I care that much. Both made their beds.. both hvae fallen out of them. Such is life

You sow a lots of seeds....then you just need a little success to germinate the support. Might be sowing a litte bit longer., probably should never stop on reflection.

Would you honestly think thats not exactly what we're doing ?

Well at the end of the day and in the light of that same day I think all things are revealed in the fulness of time. We ought to realise things are always darkest before the dawn but thankfully that light at the end of the tunnel will illuminate all.Well every dog has its day and I feel every Demonlander entitled to a say even if that say is to say a tad too cliche !! Ban cliches....Just off the top of my head, I think it's over your head. I mean you'd loose your head if it wasn't attached. Go runnin' 'round like a chicken with its head cut off. I need your opinon like I need a hole in the head and if I had eyes in the back of my head I'd say two heads are better than one, but in your case I think you're in over your head. It's all in your head. You got your head in the clouds. Regardless, don't bury your head in the sand. Anyhow my head id swimming.

what a great initiative . Good to see the club particpating. I could only imagine it would be a heartening and rewarding day for all concerned...on both sides. Good stuff

the corner ??

that would be a revelation unto itself !!!

Havent watched for ages.. ...but I find that as intriguing as yourself. Still could be a well directed red herring EOS...all fun and games now ...lol

compensation refers to picks...picks and trades are about draffting.. Theres a whole board about drafting Sorry Red..sorry OLd merge this otherwise..

actually...over on the trade board

Na na naaaaaaa... Its all about getting better ratings for Chanel 9 didnt you know Unbelievable !!!!
