Dockett 32

We were totally unprepared to start the season. This should never be. The football department needs complete overhaul.

0/5 start says it all. Completely gut wrenching. On the back foot thereafter. How could we be so seemingly underprepared to start the season?

Not to mention playing in the tropics last week. Be very surprised if Goody has something to do with that.

Felt we were underprepared for the season right from the outset. No CEO. Silence on Caulfield flattening. Injuries and unavailability Just an unprofessional mess. Think we might be about to eat into our Bentleigh Club capital.

I don’t think l would mention possible indiscretions on this forum and give them any sort of weight. Let the AFL find em.

Could have used a bit more noise today.

Play May FF

FOS looks a beauty.

Appart from being massive unders, would surely test their salary cap.

So it’s suggested that the net effect is we pay 700/800k pa for seven years to deal with a current problem child? Bloody hell! How does that help us again? I realise that we are wedged, but those who created the problem need to own it and fix the problem child. Getting walked over as proposed , the old quick and easy cut and run , simply makes things worse for a very long time.

Negotiation for Nibbler should be the same as others. It should be fair and a win/win for both parties. Consensus seems to be the 2nd rounder that we gave them ,as it sounds reasonable. (Perhaps even generous on our part as events have turned out) Anything worse would represent a poor result for us and a win for Adelaide. Adelaide would be seen as shabby in such an event , they could miss a good player/ person ,an easy deal becomes difficult, gets held up etc etc. l’m sure Adelaide get that.

Nothing to see here.

It seems anything is possible in the ‘lawless AFL’😀

Fair point. Either way, across the AFL spectrum , contractual integrity is a joke and it’s high time the AFL fixed it.

Don’t think so. We still have May Lever, Viney, Gawn , Salem, Petty, Langdon, McVee, Rivers, Bowey,McDonald and others to bring 10 draft picks along for the ride. Wouldn’t take too long to get them up to speed.
