Yes I realise that anything is still possible, thats why I said if it proves correct

IF this proves to be true then he, through his management company, have blatantly lied to all & sundry, just using semantics as a cover. IF true he can take his millions and go! PS people should read Robert Shaws article in todays inside football

If his management have put negotiations on hold then there's a fair chance MFC haven't had the opportunity to make an offer yet.

Great to hear from someone who apparently has some inside info as to what may be happening. In fact all the posters I have read both here and elsewhere that claim to have some inside info have all said that he hasn,t signed and would be happy to stay at the Demons if the right deal is struck.

I'll pose the question again, why would you sign without hearing your current clubs best offer ?

Sure I.ve read somewhere that he's playing in the next NAB cup game

I'd say due to the fact that the AFL have some pelican write on their website trying to downplay the situation means Beezelbub has some reasonable points.

Great post the AFL is so compromised in this its a disgrace. This situation so undermines the reason for the draft yet the AFL do nothing

Just wondering why would someone sign without hearing their current clubs best and final offer?

For some reason the morality of this situation is really bothering me, on 2 fronts. The first - on one hand we have an artificially created club (by the AFL) with bucketloads of salary cap concessions, draft concessions etc, able to offer a no 1 draft pick who has only been in the game 12 months obscene amounts of money to jump ship and take off. This just doesn,t sit well with me no matter how you look at it. The second front - priority picks are given to help clubs , who have been struggling to get off the bottom for more than 1 year, to improve their poition. No matter how you look at it this is not the intent of the system - to lose your pick after 2 seasons, just when he would be starting to flourish.In fact in my opinion it seriously undermines the intent of what the draft is for!

He owes the club 2 years of development if nothing else not to mention mateship & comraderie developed with the team.However I guess I'm living in the past and will be pleasantly surprised if we don't lose him

What a farce Dumitriou has created. Whats the point of getting a priority pick if you only have the player for 2 years?

Anything of note about how Howe is going?

Yes they do but lets name our only genuine game breaking forward in his best position, as a roaming forward playing from the pocket or the flank.Not just plonk him in at full forward because he kicks goals. Not to mention he's undersized for the position

Then why name him there at all?

My opinion only but I always want to rip my hair out when people name Jurrah at FF

Xmas present from the missus framed Liam Jurrah mark of the year photo with plaque and the icing on the cake - signed by the great man himself. Happy days!

Definitely top eight finish - proviso we need both Jurrah and Petterd to play most games

LUCAS COOK KEY FORWARD - THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT - PEANUT!

where did I say that ? What I would "rather" is that there is a tall that has ability and is available at our pick

I know what its called I just happen to be heavily in the draft for need camp, which is heavily in the forward line IMO

Absolutely spot on

This gun forward line your all talking about, this is the one that averaged about 11 - 12 goals a game for most of the year right ?
