[Cromulant]

im allowed my opinion

You are, but we are also allowed to be critical of it, especially when it contrasts with 2 highly credentialled AFL coaches

 

[Scorpus]

If we can immediately hire Wright, get him to conduct a short review, sack Nicks and hire a new coach that would be fantastic

 

[Cromulant]

Not sure if it’s been said here but I saw GWS have presented him with a revised 4 year offer. They’re very keen to keep him, especially because he is a NW Sydney boy. He may well stay.

As with Perryman, it's less about contract and $$ as it is role

 

[crow2crow]

and Im not stopping you Im just defending a well formed view from digging a bit.

im all for getting him and if its a trade for berg (seems too good to be true) then brilliant. still not 100% hes best 22 but we see.

if its pick 25 im so so

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Possibly new teammates next year?

 

[Scorpus]

As with Perryman, it's less about contract and $$ as it is role

Do the players get their requested role written into their contract?

 

[ams4crows]

Its a very weird hill to die on.

The premiership coach and a top 4 coach both say he is the best player on the ground.

He had 1 touch in the backline during the first quarter as the Lions took a 31-2 lead at QTR time. Then he moved to the middle in the 2nd quarter and had the most Clearances, most Centre Clearances, most tackles, 3rd most Inside 50's, 2nd most Contested possessions. All whilst going at 75% DE.

And old mate says he didnt have an impact because he only got 83 fantasy points.

Ummm I was talking about Wanganeen-Milera.... We were discussing who else people would have taken at pick 6 in the Rachele draft??

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Who was Brisbanes?

Darcy Forte .....Hipwood !

 

[WeeBlake]

Anything new about the Wright chase in here?

I had completely missed this. Would make me happier than getting Cumming did if we pulled this off.

 

[Floating Doughnut]

The Berg is a free agent, can't see him effecting their Cumming/Perryman compo surely?

How does the compo work, it would be a nothing pick anyhow?

I think Hodgy is correct .
Reckon it is a simple if you get a free agent in you lose a compo for one going out.
Not 100% on it though

 

[arrowman]

We might get nothing of value for Berg in a trade with GWS, but maybe if we help them out (preserving their FA compo) by facilitating a trade, they might be willing to accept a tad less for Peatling.

Pretty much this.

All though GWS wouldn’t lose full compensation but it would be watered down from say band 2 to band 4. Not sure how it looks with 2 players going out but one would be affected rather than both I am assuming.

So trading Berg and a pick for Peatling will see GWS get full compo for Cumming and Perryman

 

[jenny61_99]

Who was Brisbanes?

I said, nearly every GF side.

 

[Cromulant]

If it helps get Peatling from GWS couldn't we do a sweetheart deal with GWS like Brisbane did with Mitch Hinge and make the Berg a DFA so he could walk to them?

It's not without possibility

 

[Mutineer]

It's not without possibility

I removed it because on 2nd thoughts he's an unrestricted free agent?

 

[jenny61_99]

Why not?

Both Barrass and Battle did..

And Battle was UN-invited to the best and fairest…

If that stops them losing their compo then reid has done the right thing not delisting anyone yet.

 

[crow2crow]

he is but not sure of the loss of compo rule for picking up a DFA.

would be better if it was EH and F3 for Peating or something

 

[Mutineer]

I don't know what the latest is with EH but the media seemed to think he had an offer from the Suns he was looking to take up, of coarse Luko going or staying could feed into that too.

 

[spenze]

He actually spoke about this on the radio today. Apparently he only mentioned his desire to leave for Brisbane to Dew after the trade period had ended, so the only way to facilitate the move was via a delisting. Perhaps that's just the polite story, but I thought it was interesting.

Yeah not really the case.

Dew dropped him a few times after big stat games, he didn't rate what Lyons brought and thought he didn't spread from stoppages

 

[spenze]

Do the players get their requested role written into their contract?

Murphy did

"On the field"

 

[jenny61_99]

if adam kelly is replaced by graham wright we can all stop arguing about peanuts

he’s not being replaced.

 

[spenze]

And Battle was UN-invited to the best and fairest…

That's pretty poor, not as bad as what we did with Gunston but pretty poor nonetheless

 

[spenze]

he’s not being replaced.

Demoted to GTB?

 

[jenny61_99]

Demoted to GTB?

What’s a GTB? He will remain Head of Footy Ops I would expect. The new guy will be Director of Coaching. Also a senior assistant coach.
