Hobbits's

i wouldn't worry about his height with Jack being 15 going 16. he will probably grow another 5 cm or more in the next 2 years anyway.

great news!! onwards and upwards. Big cheerio to Matty Rendall...

FFS ! now you're saying it is fact, that getting the contract done in 2000 was because we were expected to make the finals in 2001 ????? Even if it was, that would be seen as mis-management on the club's behalf. and wtf has stephen powell got to do with this discussion ? you're rambling. Again. just remember you stated near the top of this thread: any problems associated with salary cap are the clubs doing and the clubs responsibility. end of story.

I have already told you what could have and probably should have been done. why jack up the $$$ just after the brownlow with a year still to run ? and why a heavily back ended contract ? sure a brownlow carries a bit of prestige and currency, but this sort of multi $ contract with a year that was still to run on the one in place...I seriously doubt it. it's all worthless talking about it now. what you don't get is you have blamed the player manager and labelled him "greedy", yet you have also stated the club is responsible - yet it's not their fault ? do you see where it makes you look like a fool ? fact is, the club itself reacted when it didn't necessarily have to, and paid for it, in more ways than one. when it could have waited.

go on hotshot, how many clubs then ? how many clubs wanted to take on a bloke still with a year to run on his contract ? having just won a Brownlow. it's called business. prudent business, and this wasn't. they could have waited 9-10 months and see how he went in 2001, before inking another contract. so, a new contract then didn't have to be drawn up. you've already said the club was responsible. you should have left it at that. but no, you don't ever to seem to fess up, but you keep rambling. that is a given.

haha. dodge ball. one of my favourite's/

worth looking at, but it's not hard producing a top 50. would be interesting to compare it to the Aull Aust squad of 40. he might use that and add another 10 using his previous top 50 as a guide. green, jamar & frawley were always monty's. pretty sure davey was in the pre-season one.

wtf ? think about it. because you don't get it. he was already contracted for 2001. you know the club was "responsible", but you can't see that "it was not their fault ?" what planet are you on ? they had a choice. they could have negotiated a contract the following year. when he was already contracted. they also had a choice regarding the size of the contract and managing it so it wouldn't effect pressure on the cap. think about it. no, seriously...think about it. then admit you're wrong.

if you post here you have to give the readers something. so give it a try if you have something that demonland hasn't seen in re: news within aFL. no rumours and be sure to give your *dead horse* - sauce (source)! ok. I don't know if this has been posted yet - I have not read it here anyway. there will be a change to the interchange as rumoured. it will go from four interchange to three interchange and one sub. afl is focussing on reducing injuries and amount of interchanges. how did i hear this - david parkin. afl teams who also have this as a topic.

how can we make a prediction when their list is incomplete for a start ? how long is a piece of string ? bottom four. there.

good luck. it is 3 days before the GF and he wants a ticket ??? they don't grow on trees. tell him to try ebay.

brilliant ! Will this Saturday mark their 25th Grand Final loss ? they should celebrate.

how old is he ?

let's steer clear of this guy then.

keep pick 12 for the best available footballer.

GWS could be on the agenda. deal could be player/manager driven for strategic re3asons/.

bruce & jones will stay. Warnock and Hampson of Carlton might well be a trade with an improvement in pick.

it is a realistic analysis given where we are at. If you are expecting top 6 like mike sheahan next year, you need your head read.

tsk tsk language. go wash your mouth out. Rich has not peaked, for that is certain. beautiful left foot with precise penetration. awesome footballer.

of course it won't. we don't have pick 14.

that is a silly sttatement. finance for clubs, safety for people, and state of ground (maintenance) would have more to do with it. it hasn't affected geelong has it ? jumpers is different. this issue comes down to power. AFL power. wouldn't be surprised if eddie himself drew up the rules of who wears what and when.

Interesting that when jimmy spoke last night he mentioned having bumped into brett kirk of the swans. he asked kirk what made the swans so special up in sydney as a club. kirk replied that there was good relationships between the players and families and staff. jimmy wants to make melbourne footy club great again. this is what he wants the club to work at. good idea. thanks kirky.

absolute inspiration is jimmy stynes. what ever it takes jimmy !

It would have to be Adrian Anderson, General Manager of Football Operations wouldn't it ?

where was the clash back in '66 ?
