old dee

I have not heard it bb But you may be right. It would mean more restraint of trade which I doubt the players union would agree to. They want way less restrictions not more so I doubt it but I do not put myself up as an expert

dee-luded I explained elsewhere. but hear goes.He has stated it is Adelaide he wants to live. Draft selection will be GWS GCS MFC Dogs and then Port. With all his baggage and family issues GWS and CGS will pass. MFC won't pick him and why would the dogs he won't come back to Melbourne that leaves Port. If any of the first four pick him he says no thanks and plays in the SANFL

But bb it does not have to be done then. he can wait for the pre season draft like Stevens did a few years ago. went to Carlton and port got zero Why is everyone hung up on it being done before the end of trade week?

I can only tell you what I have heard It is not cast in concrete but I am confident

I got it PaulRB no explanation needed

He just waits till the pre season draft deluded. That is how we got Joel McDonald from Brisbane. Just wait and as we had I think first pick we took him and Brisbane got nil

Aint that the truth

I think you will find it is him wanting out Choko not the other way round. Boy wants to go

I am sure it is mate. He has probably no trade value So we might as well keep him I actually think he has some value to us. Does not get the ball as much as in the past but every kick goes where he aims it. That already puts him in front of 10 others on our list.

Thats a pretty good player you just described. Know where he is at present?

Yes finally someone gets it. Congratulations Theo why is it everyone thinks that we get to have any input on where LJ goes. He can enter the pre season draft. He has said he will live no where else but Adelaide. It is pointless GWS, CGS ,MFc or Bulldogs picking him. Port is next if they want him guess what he goes to Port and the Dees get Zero. The benefit to the MFC is we no longer have his problems and distractions. I reckon there are quite a few at the MFC that are not crying themselves to sleep tonight. A much bigger problem is Rivers walking to Geelong LJ is a side show. nothing in 2012 and probably not a lot more in 2013 had he stayed. I was over him months ago. Lets get on with keeping Rivers.

wyl and a couple of others have been for some time suggesting to all on here that free agency can devastate lower level clubs. I think we are now beginning to get the picture. Geelong does not need to deal with the MFC for Rivers as long as his price is reasonable he just walks not a lot the MFC can do or get. This is the way of the future we had better get better quick. No way Bennell stays there are five Casey players better than him who are busting to play AFL

Wonder if LJ will get an invite to the count?

Might be the only one willing to join us bb?

Vengeance is a dish best served cold!

Why the hell does the web site still have the trial date story up with the picture of LJ in that stupid boody Blazer

Not sure parma why you and others think we can get anything for LJ I don't reckon Adelaide will take the risks involved. Port will they don't have much to lose. He can go into the draft no one outside of SA will be interested. Port can select him with a late round pick and take the chance he beats the court case, stays fit and wants to play.

Let him follow Hawthorn way easier and better fun for a kid.

Would commited footballers join the MFC?

Davey could be mentoring himself next year . There will be no brothers left

Maldonboy you cannot de list Davey unless you want to pay out his contract and get nothing for him.

Don't hold your breath Mcqueen We will get nothing Why would Port deal they can get him for nothing Console yourself to that

I think you are both correct

Are you referring to the Tanking story? I was wondering when that was going to hit. I have said all along I will be surprised if we escape.

OK DD. I suspect that after all his troubles in 2011 CS does nothing with the Press without board approval. That seemed to be the case with the Tanking story. I suspect the same today, it will be the Chairman that comments.
