    Our promise to Jesse Hogan? Sounds pathetic 

    I don't think so. Clearly the balance of power in this employer/employee relationship is with the employee. The same as every other organisation that is trying to retain the best talent - you have to be a place where people want to work...

    So good to have players that the wider competition are noticing. Has been a while (see, eg, Jones being left out of top 50s his whole life despite being a beast).

    Can't wait to have Petracca back with Hogan, Brayshaw, Salem etc next year. I reckon we're really building and people will sit up and take proper notice soon.

    It still does not alter the fact he may not have been the best this weekend..

    You also have to take into account that he is a forward.

    Midfielders always get more votes that deep forwards or backs

    Just look at the Brownlow results.

    By the way the result is not out yet is it?

    Except the guy who got it over him is a FF/CHF. And I watched the GWS game. And Jesse's was far better.

    Jaded is right. The selectors are idiots.

    Looks like he got some good distance on that kick after the half time siren and struck it well, nice ball drop. Was unlucky to hit the post.

    I dont think there's any reason to worry about his kicking.

    Nope - that last one from the boundary line in the wet was a stunner.

    No its not. You want to play in our comp that's the deal. Just like the drugs code you sign up to.

    If you don't want to play, fine. Go somewhere else.

    God help us if we end up like the EPL.

    I know it is the deal, I'm not an idiot. But the 'deal' is just a construct, you can make a sport and a league work any way you want to.

    The last sentence is just your opinion.

    You might notice the EPL has pretty strong rights of ownership over players too. The only real difference is end of contract and I see no reason why players should be stopped from moving to the club of their choice, within some broad restrictions like not in the first couple of years, for example. That's just my opinion!

    Geez Collingwood are turds.

    They're perfectly willing to pillage our player who wants out for personal reasons when it suits, but when their own player wants out, they tell him basically to get stuffed and tell Brisbane he is worth more than a pick 4.

    I hope the karma bus drives straight over the top of the lot of them.

    In fact, what would be much better is to do what most other world sports do and give the players the freedom to move when they want to, within very broad parameters. The idea of 'owning' the rights to players and therefore holding them hostage is ludicrous. The idea of my employer being able to direct which competitor I can and can't work for is just laughable and I'm yet to hear a good reason why footballers should be any different.

    Fitzpatrick was terrible last week, but great this week.

    Toumpas was great last week but terrible this week.

    Demonland's Official Conclusion: Fitzpatrick is great but Toumpas sucks.

    Well, it is a small picture, short term memory kind of place.
