There's that "messiah complex" again. We never learn..

Pies aren't the drawing card they used to be, I mean they're doing better than us currently but they are far from a top 4 team and they didn't even make finals this year. Could be a case of Roos then Goodwin vs Buckley in the end. We have enough positives to feed him- Hoges, Tyson, Viney, coming through etc. We can pay him the most- he can legitimately say he wants to be part of building something new (150 year old club) so we still have our positives

I'll listen to whoever tells me the news that pleases me the most.

I didn't know that was the case, so I apologise for my insensitivity.

You're 1 from 1. You are not GNF Pipe down.

Hope he is working on Jonesy though..

Maybe they'll even hold onto one of their players for more than 3 years for once and try to make a team.

Who in their right mind would want to play for the Dons? In all seriousness though he really is making a mockery of this doctors advice for a fresh start. Collingwood - which you can throw a paper plane to from AAMI with the right wind, or Essendrug which speaks For itself.

We'd have to at least give 2 for danger, so no petracca and danger dream, sorry

Are we comng into an era where we will see more players requesting moves before their contracts expire for special circumstances? Seems all you have to do these days is just have a little whinge and request a trade and away you go..

Lol suck it Ed, shoe's on the other foot one isn't it?

Compo for Frawley will prob be an end of first rounder, " cos there could be someone good in the draft there, and you can draft to replace him, and you've got big Hoges to come back" is what they will probably go with

Think he's angry now, wait till they take Jobe's Charlie away lol

Wish he was a Melbourne supporter, we'd be flying! There's a reason he has so much influence- earned it through being a ruthless, take no shite kinda guy. We need some of that!

Why though can we have what is rightfully ours denied because of hypotheticals? Are rules legally binding, or is that just laws? Ahh MFC pushed over again. Another little bruise to add to the collection.

The only time the rules don't matter if is the AFLs image is in jeopardy. How can any organisation rule like that? Are they even allowe to?

Carlton are where they are now cos they thought Juddy would be enough at the time. They drafted him and thought it would all fall into place. We know our whole team needs improving and Dandgerfield will be a part of that and we will build on it. No one player is enough to turn it around but if you think that's not reason to draft Dangerfield you're a moron

I agree- and everyone here, myself included, would have called our club weak for doing that. Guess you have to know which battles to chose. I wonder how many clubs would have fought the tanking case if they were in our position?

I feel for the players- the club and the supporters are scum though

People stop posting in here until it's been confirmed! Starting from now!

Would Adelaide be prepared to sacrifice a measly 4 draft positions for the privelege of having Danger for another year? I'd think so. A sweetner will be needed. Let's just hope Saints keep their noses out of this

Can you prove that the players knew that they were taking banned substances? Again I'll be shocked

I know. Why don't they just give him the Earth, like literally the Earth, all the oceans, countries and animals.. FFS! (If true)

Yeah but players would have been assured by dons that everything was alright at the time and there's no need to panic, I think a football environment is almost cult like and it would be easy to brainwash players into believing all is good. Now they are realising that they de been lied to by "men with big egos and fat wallets" and they want out. I want to see Essendrugs burn as much as the next person, but at the end of the day, the players were duped. I would be shocked if any player knowingly took banned substances, why commit career suicide?

We're not stuck in the past, we're still dealing with it.We're losing Frawley and it's confirmed that Mitch won't be back, so we are already at a disadvantage, again, btw, so set expectations as high as you like, but it means [censored] until you have the cattle
