The article in The Age reports that he'll be based in Melbourne. So shouldn't effect his role on the board.

And here's a few more footy related gems.

From what I understand they're both good phones. I don't think you could go wrong with either. It's more of a question of which operating system do you prefer. Here's a comparison on the phones.

I'm pretty sure this has been posted on a thread in the main board at some stage. But for anyone who hasn't seen them yet, it's well worth a look.

Sticks is responsible for one of the greatest renditions of Stand By Your Man, a bit ironic I know, but surely it that's got to count for something.

There's wiggle room. 07 - 11 CBA I think Josh Kennedy being involved in the Judd trade was one such example.

Yep, You might be right. Anyway as jnrmac mentioned, if he was only re-contracted 2 months ago, so why would either party have changed their mind?

I haven't seen a copy of the new CBA, but the previous version had a clause that you could not trade a recently re-contracted player. I'd assume the clause would continue in the new CBA. So does this make it another pathetic and ridiculous Hun rumour?

Someone makes a good point in that article. Admittedly it was Todd who said that, but that's beside the point.

I don't know how good Royal is as an assistant coach, but to be fair on him, he is working with one of the worst midfields in the competition.

Not enitrely true. It depends on the difference between how they are rated in compensation. If they are equally rated then they cancel each other out. If you lose a higher rated player and gain a lesser one, the compensation will be based on the difference, so you'll still get one pick.

Beamer is a free agent, no-one needs to trade for him. He's free to sign wherever he wants.

The real question is "are any of our free agents worth the top compensation?" I think we've maybe got a few at the end of the first round compensation picks in Moloney & Rivers. But I'm doubtful as to whether we'd get top compo for them. You're right RPFC, until we know how they formulate the compensation, we won't know.

Does it bode well for us that the Hun, given their form so far, hasn't mentioned us a possible destination. Or have I just jinxed it? Josh Caddy to leave Gold Coast Suns

No, they have to be used in the draft immediately following free agency. If the Pies lose Cloke, they'll most probably get the top compensation, which would equate to around pick 18 odd in this years draft.

There's 2 different first round compensation bands. But a club can only receive a maximum of 1 pick per player and must use the picks in the upcoming draft. So that makes it a little harder for tanking I think as they can't bank the picks. Free Agency - The Age

Yes, you're right WJ. Maybe I should have said that we don't need to trade for or draft him as he's a free agent. As far as the free agent picks go, I wouldn't mind if we didn't recieve any picks from free agency, as long as it means we sign a number of valuable free agent players. We've got plenty on our list we can (hopefully) develop. We need some ready made talent to substantially lift the standard of our team.

A few posts on Bigfooty suggest it may have been a balcony fall. But who knows? Very sad news.

He's a free agent, we don't need to use any of our picks.

Surely Moloney, Jamar and the gang would hang around for the B & F before heading O/S. Not good news whoever it is.

I haven't seen the RRover on the boards for a few days, hmmm!

Well done to the Hun. They're giving sportsnewsfirst a run for their money in the credibility stakes.

That's priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5_zuzC9K2I

Garbage and Offspring are back huh? That's a blast from the past. Here's one of my favourite Radiohead songs. Jack Jack 4.6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTB-iiecqk

I just hope RR didn't hear you Redleg or he may turn this thread into another poll.
