  1. Good for you Saty. Got a change of undies in case the excitement gets too much? Only joshing. I actually appreciate your training reports, particularly when you report what is actually happening. Can I ask you to report how Hoges is going as some were saying he was a bit proppy towards the end of Maroochy? It'll be Straya Day on Monday. Don't forget to wear your flag cape to training! Oi, Oi, Oi.....!
  2. Looks a little thicker across the shoulders and in the thighs. Hard to tell. Early days yet. His weight is around the high 80kg or 90kg mark, which is pretty good for such a young fella.
  3. I see no reason to release info on individual player contracts apart from supporter curiosity. Players would have to agree to it through the PA and I can't see that happening. Player agents already know what the going rate is for each player, so it's of little consequence to them. The club obviously knows and must reach a minimum total of the SC. Yes, we members contribute towards some of the club's income that goes into player payment. As a taxpayer, consumer and shareholder I contribute to all sorts of industries and businesses across society, many are unique or very different from others, doesn't mean I should have a right know what each of their employees are being paid. If this is being driven by supporter curiosity then it would happen for the wrong reasons IMO. I'll just respectfully agree to disagree with you on this rpfc.
  4. Agreed that playing in the AFL is a unique job in a unique business rpfc. But I don't think that fact dilutes the player's rights to income privacy. It's not a luxury and I fail to see how the public knowing what they earn is for the good of the game. Some might claim that because AFL is an emotional, almost irrational business individual players need this privacy protection even more. Not sure about the 'they don't have to play AFL if they're not prepared to compromise on privacy issues' argument, players shouldn't have to decide between playing AFL or revealing their wage when doing so is a breach of basic privacy. IMO the AFL could release anonymous, clustered stats on contracts (they do some of this already), but not individual player information. I don't see the benefits, if any, are greater than the costs. Trading players without their consent is another matter.
  5. Players mix within their team and with players of other teams. They know what each other re getting or are worth. If by chance some want to know exactly how much, then their agent will know. Player agents negotiate contracts, so they will know who gets what. Would've thought its in their best interests to be relatively open about these things amongst themselves. Making it public would mostly benefit the fans, and why do we need to know this? They are not public servants, could be argued it's a breach of privacy.
  6. Collingwood supporters would see no problem with that R and B.
  7. When are you coming down to Gosches Bruiser?
  8. Missed the point again. Has no legal knowledge but proclaims to know how the case will eventuate, that is the point. Nothing to do with fanboy 1 on 1 stuff. Whatever.... had enough, you keep at it though.
  9. Knew you couldn't let it go. Keep talking small man, one day you'll admit to being totally out of your depth. Then pigs might fly too.
  10. Do you know this as fact Lamashtu? Just curious to know who MC actually said this to and where his manager stated as fact that he was unwanted at Melbourne. Is there an interview or article you can link here? I'd genuinely like to know, as all I've ever heard about this has been (at best) speculative hearsay. Cheers
  11. You care for his legal opinion? Next you're going to say 'it's the vibe'. Btw, you can also not read or ignore my posts.
  12. Hird unlikely to win appeal. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/james-hird-unlikely-to-win-but-players-will-be-cleared-says-david-galbally-20150120-12ua9u.html
  13. Not sure we're ever going to know the full story or be able to call judgement on what decisions he or the club have made. Who's never made a decision that has caused some pain? The media and social media can be harsh critics, albeit sometimes self inflicted. Better to let it go and enjoy the positives of the deal, ie, HL.
  14. Where is the dislike button? Can't get to it quick enough.....
  15. And braided hair? Can't wait to see your new avatar!
  16. Bwahahahaha!!! Surely you jest.....
  17. You're all over the boards tonight Uncle Bitter. Over the jet lag? Or at least the hangover...
  18. Hard to believe this guy is still a teenager. If his talent and ability are as big as his frame, we're in for a good one.
  19. SIDE NOTE WARNING. Was looking at websites for roof skylights (yes, I know...) and isn't this the female goal umpire Chelsea Roffe moonlighting? http://youtu.be/w5QU-6V4rCE
  20. Get over yourself, no one cares for your legal opinion. My point was exactly what you now agree with, that we will have to wait and see before pre judging the outcome. I too am happy we got Gartlett at a good price. Glad we are of the same view, as much as it pains me to say. Let it go, or can't you?
  21. You were there to see the fight? You are a legal expert? Let's just wait and see the outcome before making uneducated guesses.
  22. There'll be no fleas on any club that takes Garlick on board.
  23. Malceski and Mitch Hallahan will be excellent additions to GC in 2015. And GAJ comes back in. They've lost no players of real worth at the end of last season and are on the rise. IMO Rocket will also make a big difference. Too many people here think round 1 is in the bag, far from it.
