Had to check.....Fitzy is out of contract at years end along with Toumpas, Howe and Garland.......interesting.

With regards to Michie/Newton/Riley and the like. I think it's only fair that for the remainder of the season they are given a block of games to show their wares similar to Spencer/Gawn rather then in - out - in - out. Other players have been given years all be it under different coaches.

I know respect is a two way street but the old "clubman" line is wearing thin.

All comes down to what he's on, if he's on 350-400 ( purely a guess as he was captain and "had potential", because I'm stuffed if I know how we even spend 92.5% of the cap) we need to offload him. Can't have a depth player chewing up that much coin.

All depends on front loading. Would love to know who's getting paid what.....

Firstly how much is left on his contract has to be a factor. Secondly is there another VB out there.

Grimes dropped again, who'd want him and what would we get? To be honest we all thought we had a player when we drafted him. He was Vic Metro captain but for whatever reason you choose to believe he is clearly not part of the coaching groups plans. Yes he's contracted for next year but as we know Goodwin will be part of list management discussions so he doesn't have the luxury of the new coach coming in. Get over the fact he's gone and think about what we can get.

I don't work in an office I work in construction, I've worked with blokes who have nearly died, one bloke has lost his right arm another bleeding on the brain and possible limited mobility for the rest of his life. Sorry what was your point again?

I think you'll find the club is no longer handing out buckets of cash to underperforming players. Some will find this hard to take and look elsewhere.....good luck with that.

We are talking about elite sportsman playing an elite game. They put their hands up for the big dollars, criticism whether it be constructive or not comes with that.

Grimes is contracted until the end of next season.

I like it. Sad thing is many don't see Grimes and Watts as fringe players. Last nights game showed they don't have it in them, more than enough chances, must go. I'd even sound out a Lions/Carlton with regards to Dawes, but I think we'll be stuck with him next year.

Lets see how the whole team goes, if the delivery is poor.....

Need to offer new contract next year, don't wait until 2017 and don't insult him with the first offer. Straight off the bat 5 mill for 4 years. Remembering the cap will be increasing.

Two forward pockets and a half back flanker......nice.

Johnathon Brown.

A McGlynn type.....McGlynn is a bloody handy player.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Steve Martin had corks on the end of his.

I agree, Roo just signed to play until 2016, two year apprenticeship awaits.

Grimes girl is gorgeous but too much make up or tanning.

Exactly, how quickly people turn. The coaches aren't stupid, there will be more changes made come seasons end but McDonald won't be one of them.

Two key talls at the top of the draft for two teams that are already top heavy. Having said that hoping not to finish 17th.

Was this the game that cost Grant Thomas his career?

Isn't he demanding 600k for cameo appearances?
