  1. You realise he was rookied this year? Unless he starts starring for North, I see him being delisted at the end of this year.
  2. Or you could go to the game?
  3. http://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Arbitral_Award_WADA_ESSENDON.pdf It says that melksham is suspended until 13th of november, but can start training two months before
  4. I'm guessing you're one of the those blokes who believes that depression is a mood and can be changed on a whim? He didn't think melbourne was the best environment to continue his football career. I, too, was annoyed that he didn't want to be at Melbourne but understood that it could be the best for his health to move clubs. What more did you want him to do? Let me remind you of a few things he did. - He forfeited his earnings for this year (possible some of last) - Got us some form of compensation when he got traded If Nathan Jones can get around him, don't you think that maybe he's not the big bad wolf that everyone has made him out to be? FFS we just had a tragedy last week. Do I need you to remind you about the sentiment that life is more important than football that was going around on the weekend. Would it make you feel better if he stayed around and you woke up one day to find out he was no longer with us?
  5. Is there a point in being so snide? He was a player who gave us his all, one of the few when we we were down... He's career has most probably been ruined by injury which I imagine will affect him post football. Do I have to remind you that he got that injury and depression with the Demons? I'm sure that if he didn't get injured he'd be earning a lot more. It's not like he came to us and just sat on his ass doing nothing. The way that Demon supporters acted towards him personally made me feel embarrassed to be grouped as a demons supporter.
  6. Was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about the possibility of Brisbane getting a priority pick. Eddie was saying: Brisbane should not get a priority pick, they got one last year in the form of dayne beams. Agreed with the first part but that second part just sounds to me like he has his ass he can't see daylight. Pretty sure Collingwood were more than fairly compensated for Beams. He went on to say that priority picks are not needed now because free agency is the new priority picks.
  7. Haven't seen him play but I have heard this way too many times about our players. Let's wait until he plays 50 or maybe even 1 game before we say a player is assured x amount of games.
  8. Really don't like the look of this. Jack Trengrove showed us loyalty when he initially signed on for three years. Unless he wants to leave I think it would be good if we showed our players loyalty back
  9. This is Collingwood you are dealing with. It'd more likely be Mitch clark, pick 2 & 3 for Harry
  10. Is anybody else hoping that there's the smiggest of chances Mitch Clark decides to come back. I know he has to get his health right, but damn that would give me so much hope going into next season
  11. 1. I can assure you that many people living in Collingwood do actually go for Collingwood 2. Hawks/Box Hill alllignment seems to work Instead of creating a reserves team, how about we use the money you magically think we have to develop the Casey team. Surely it would cost less for us to make a Casey team competitive than to create our own reserves side along with a new stadium. For the extra money we could use it to increase the influence that MFC has on Casey with respect to coaches and players. We signed a 30 year agreement, it's barely been 5.
  12. "Fairfax Media reported last month that show cause notices had been expected in June." Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/season-over-for-bombers-says-matthew-lloyd-20140612-zs662.html#ixzz34QR9aaJo Didn't they say it was by the end of May?
  13. We got him under a rule that allowed GWS to trade picks from a mini draft. This mini draft was for players that were still 17 at the end December 31 but hat a birthday between 1/1 till 30/4, Ie. they would've been allowed in the draft in 2008 but after that players of the same age weren't. When we traded it was understood he was not allowed to play matches this year. Hogan has finished school and will play for Casey all year (injury permitting)
  14. MFC didn't get the special permission, pretty sure Collingwood did that
  15. Yes any of us can make stuff up and put it in print, but I doubt anyone believes it. Most stories that newspaper cover are true and have a certain degree of research more than what you and I know would know. I think everyone is worried about Melbourne at the moment and we're grasping at straws, but you don't hear Melbourne knocking down doors at the age for making false stuff up. If the 'vault' meetings didn't occur, you'd expect a response similar to the racism claims
  16. It's not a matter of questionable moves anymore. It's a matter of orders to lose games which is supported by the questionable moves. If they didn't have people coming forward saying they had orders to lose games then we wouldn't have a problem
  17. If you sign someone up then they are not a free agent. You need to be out of contract to be a free agent. How was Port Adelaide draft tampering? You're just [censored] Melbourne didn't think of it as well. The AFL told everyone about the rules and Port Adelaide acted smart, just like what GWS have done with the mini draft picks. Get over it
  18. If you think about that is the club's fault. I think by the end most of us knew that Moloney's compensation would be negated by acquiring Byrnes. We should have done what Port Adelaide have done and actually thought about it and decided to trade for Byrnes instead of using free agency.
  19. You do realise we got Brent Moloney in return right? Not really Adelaide's fault that he wanted to go home.
  20. If I remember correctly we paid around 3 mil for the bentleigh club. This would without the acquisition we would still have made a profit as the increase in profit would only effectively be 3.7 instead of the 6.7mil you stated
