Don't you mean Artie Bucco/Jose Mourinho /Machsy /Mach5?

I think the criticism was over the 4 year contract from memory.

And you don't give them $400k/year over 4 years.

How many clubs go through a season only using the same 22 that line up in Round 1? Reality is its about whether he would be in our top 30-odd players who will rotate through the season.

Sounds like a Blease/Strauss/Morton. No thanks.

A million a year is probably unders by the time the next CBA is announced.

Cripps now favourite but I've still got faith in Hogan. Fyfe/Hogan double now paying $3.85 pretty tasty.

Want to triple your money? Fyfe for Brownlow into Hogan Rising Star paying $3

Seriously this guy is an absolute beast. He'll be one of the stars of the comp in a few years - and he's ours! He bloody ragdolled that sook Thompson today, one of the premier defenders in the comp. Will be dominating games Carey style in a year or two. And with Gus and Petracca feeding him the footy it's gonna be bloody formidable for other teams. None of this guarantees anything of course - look how the Saints went with Plugger - but it gives us a bloody good start.

Surely it's the easiest way around to double your money. Couldn't believe he was still paying $2.15 last night.

I agree and I think it's also because the presentation and analysis is far beyond anything seen in the AFL. Compared to real pro sports the AFL is still amateur hour.

I agree, although I'd say it's his 3rd bad game in the last month (Pies, WCE and Bombers).

Assume autocorrect

How could anyone not be discontent with what has gone on there for the last 3 years especially if half his team-mates get suspended for a year or two.

Looked what happened last year with Ryder/Port. Where there's a will there's a way, especially if Zaharakis can pull the "safe work environment" that Ryder did.BTW Zaharakis is not one of their 34 druggies.

In addition to Gold Coast, I reckon Essendon players may be ripe for the picking and they will probably want draft picks while going through a rebuild. Obviously some of them you wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole due to impending WADA sanctions but I reckon we should have a crack at Zaharakis. Is quick, can win the ball and can kick goals. If someone like Prestia/Treloar is out of the question I wouldn't mind going after Zaharakis - surely someone like him would want out of that place.

Hey I loved Allen Jakovich

He would've kicked 10 yesterday if we were able to get it down to him with some kind of efficiency without handballing in circles a million times and turning it over consistently. He had to roam up to half back to get the ball on a few occasions because our inept defence/mids couldn't clear the bloody thing.

Frost continually worked him under the ball and he wasn't able to counter. It wasn't helped by us continually bombing the ball on top of him instead of putting it out in front. He'll learn, he'll get better.

He was sitting near me at the top of the old Ponsford Stand at the 2000 GF - couldn't believe someone who had sat in the first row for every game since I could remember couldn't get a better seat!

I've got a feeling he'll relish the big stage.

Matthews is an idiot.

He's already so strong, imagine when he gets more muscle definition in his chest/upper body. He's going to be an absolute beast. He has such a great tank for a young KPP as well, he covers the ground extremely well. He is the first player I've been genuinely excited about for some time, probably since 1994 Schwarz. Others like Farmer had X-Factor but this guy is the complete package.

What did he actually say? I didn't hear it on the replay

He certainly makes my star rise...wait, what?
