This could be very easily gamed: Come to us, we'll help set you up with a social media profile which our members (and broader supporters) will help support (subscribe to). If each member subscribed at $10 a year that can easily translate to over a million dollars; note with more subscribers the advertising dollars increase exponentially. In the future you'd only want to play for the Pies, Tigers and Eagles!!!

How many presidents (of organisations/companies) or CEO's contact general staff for injury, trauma, we'll being etc. I've gone through a traumatic ordeal in the last couple of years far far greater than what he's been through and only my boss reached out to provide support. And by boss I mean direct manager, and their boss; not the top tier executive!
-
This could potentially set a very bad precedent, one which the AFL don't want and can't handle. Players requesting trades to improve their brand (earning potential) that is provided by the clubs with bigger supporters bases. It's outside the salary cap, but an obvious enticement and reward for playing for said club. These clubs could even promote (sell it) to the extent players take a reduced salary knowing they have 100,000 members subscribing to their site!
-
On the nuclear option this is a very risky choice as it goes both ways. ALL relevant facts from both parties will need to be tabled and investigated, and then the most likely outcome would be to force a trade to address the grievance (a bottom. 4 club will meet this). The trade only needs to satisfy the grievance, not the want!
-
Note, so much of "the media" is just them opinionating and speculating; ironically promoting their own brand. It should not be given that its Trac's thought process; i.e. the nuclear option.
-
Has anyone considered what effect Brayshaw no longer being at the club has had on him, the culture, etc. Is it true they've been mates since juniors. Maynard (hit) - the gift that keeps on giving
-
Rule of thumb (trading), it costs more (than market value) to extract a contracted player! Note threat of free agency can't be used ad bargaining.
-
Any potential trade can only be done on a "to good to refuse offer" i.e Reid and a first round; as the club also needs to make a stance on honouring contracts - otherwise this will happen year after year; to the extent of other clubs actively targeting our contracted players.
-
Note 2 of the last 3 premiers have not included big name forwards, they can be won without them. It's midfield (always has been) where the quality is needed, then a strong backline. Note despite the personnel, our midfield has been getting beaten by the top sides for a couple of years now.
-
Talk of McKay is rubbish, it's all one sided to Carlton as he's expendable they have Curnow, TDK and other talls. With Petracca leaving our midfield stocks drop to being our biggest weakness (by some margin). Bringing McKay feels similar to when we brought Chris Dawes in.
-
Starting point - Trac is worth at least 3 first round picks comprising a minimu. 2 top 10 (1 being in the first 5). Any players involved bust would only replace 1 of these picks.
-
Go Saints, Pick 5 would be nice!!
-
-
And 6 months ago no one thought there was a chance of another club getting Trac!
-
IF Trac was to go, it would have to be for a generational mudfielder i.e. Reid. Note we have already lost a top talent in Brayshaw for no return (draft). Our midfield currently is that of a bottom 8 side (declining Oliver, Aging Viney and inexperienced flankers learning the trade). Trac is worth 3 first round picks (2 top 10) or 2 top 10 picks and an A grader. With these you'd go to West Coast and offer 3 first rounders for Reid (plus all the money saved from Braushaw and Trac). A quick rebuild of the club around Reid would have us challenging for a flag within 2 years!
-
So if his brand (publicity) is so important to him. Then He's done a great job to be in the headlines, while not playing footy Or Saying anything!!!!!

As with most things, the starting point should focus on the "WHY"! In trades it could be greater opportunities, go home factor, money, family, success, health, career extension, desire to get out, etc. Then the decision makers focus on addressing the why; in this case if its * success, MFC is as likely as any for next year (we are a dodgy decision or unlucky bounce of the ball from playing finals this year despite injuries and drama) - so sell him that and the improvements we are implementing to achieve this * Money, tbat would require significant Brown paper bag and property portfolios; to make a difference to support * desire to get out - fix the problem in the club, or if none (minor); then accommodate his reasoning "to get out" which will likely land him at clubs like the Eagles or Roo's. Note in this case we've addressed the "why", which doesn't necessary equate to the "want" (Collingwood). Good culture is built on how you handle "Why" versus catering for "wants" Note: O'Keefee was desperate to be traded to Hawthorn (I think) but the Swans refused and then he was instrumental in helping win a premiership.
-
Trac to GC for Miller and there first rounder, then throw 2 top 10bfirst rounders and the future first rounder at Reid (WC). Oh plus lots of dollars!!!!!

Teams are starting to expose Boweys lack of height in the backs, but against GWS this shouldnt be a problen - so he gets a reprieve. What GWS had is speed and in form Hogan. Salem should play in the midfield or be given a rest. We have to tag Tom Green (note they ate not a high inside 50 team, so restricting Green is a must). On a brighter side, they wouldn't have a clue who Bedford should go and tag!!!!!
