paperwork begins...trade circus already underway

A tad ruthless and probably unlikely...but I like the idea

Eagles by as many points as the thermometer goes

4 years Yeah ...nah 2 years and we'll talk.

Marketing value is ?....a very rubbery thing. Howe can be marketable for sure as has been but i offer up Hogan, Brayshaw, Chunk...Beerrrrrnnnniie !!. Dare i say Kent running into goal..Salem squeaking off a pinpoint pass is AS marketable. Whenever someone offers up ..but he's marketable i just want to say blow up out your... its irrelevant. What is is winning. Winning happens when players play and play well. FCUK marketing. Lets try selecting players because they help us WIN...not look pretty on a poster ffs !!

Chuck Norris thinks JV is da bomb

Why is it if someone has an opinion of a player that doesn't abide to unabashed fawning then it must be 'hate' There are those in society for whom i have feelings of hate and that I despise . Professional football players aren't generally amongst them. I have an opinion of Howe. It's that he's overhyped and that hes simply a fairly average player with a very non-avarage capacity to take speccues but for mine i look at his ground work, his ability to provide a role, his ability as a goal kicker etc. Aerials 9/10..all the rest about 6/10 I don't hate Howe. I simply don't have a misplaced over inflated valuation of him. I don't think the club does either otherwise I'd put it that he'd be re-signed on the money Jez thinks he's worth.

and some might suggest that the club doesn't value him as a two trick pony either. Club aint anteing up is it ?

actually i dont care if he does. What players end up doing elsewhere is effectively irrelevant. Its what they are at the MFC that does. Jimmy aint clicking with us...lets keep looking for those that can/might.So many just want to hold on to players out of fear.Ask any advertising guru whats the best motive in selling. FEAR. Once youre free of that youre free to actually grow. Thats what we as a club need to do. Rid ourselves of fear...and give ourselves chances to really improve. Its not about Jimmy per se...its about us. He doesn't improve us. Find some that will.

You're probably right however what we need to do is to be proactive. Most of these types aren't likely to budge but the world's a funny place and you might just strike one that for whatever reason might listen to an offer. All is not always what it seems from afar/outside.The better clubs persist with searching. Youd be amazed how many very pretty girls aren't asked out etc because everyone presumes the knockback. Point is ...you dont ask...and you're guaranteed a no by default.

Onward and.... Well onward Well done , good luck

If we get a pick we'll most likely use it again in a deal for a player. Cant see us taking too many dips in the well this year.

Apparently Hogan and Club in preliminary discussions about a long term contract. Gist of which suggests..." you want to stay....money isn't an issue " Bodes well

It was the vibe

Thursday's are slow !!!

I thought he looked remarkably like a demon troll

No, possibly, but what occurs to me is believe NOTHING of what is said and come to terms with what actuates.

are you sure...ours was freshly minted !!

he says, she says !!

I would doubt it personally . The footyworld knows !!

Theyve made it harder to get past definitely.I dont think it will bite us. We simply need better value out of someone than Jimmy currently presents

So...if a 3 way then we'd presumably get the Aints 2nd rounder. Well i suppose its a bit of spending money at the circus. Probably a win all round.

For me its about irony.. Wines AND Toumpas end up together...why couldnt we have had...........

It's a delicious thought none the less. One to savour....the continuing calamitous convulsion that is Carlton

Thanks Rohan. A true trier. Good luck
