He is an absolute gentleman!

No “unders” involved. Offer was extremely fair. GC negotiating like the spoilt children the AFL has allowed them to become.

It’s a “buyer beware” situation. No unfairness just requires due diligence before picking him.

In my view, the AFL would be more worried that the GC drafting Martin would create a trigger for the AFLPA to try and negotiate for more aggressive free agency rules.

E Equal risk that the Suns redrafting Martin creates a headache for the AFL in dealing with the AFLPA.

And Port wanted the Earth for Wines...We will be fine - a bad deal is a bad deal and I’m glad SOS didn’t sell the farm for Martin who will come for nothing. Papley was never fully in our control.

I think they would not contest and simply pick either Rowell or Anderson depending on who GC didn’t pick at 1....

1981 Premiership player...

Not to mention that Viney wears Nbr 7 for the Dees...

Greg Williams agrees.

Agree. Don’t think we should be letting him go and doubt he’d want to head there. I believe the Papley deal will be a straight swap for pick 9. This may get more complicated if the Daniher deal drags on.

I think the term “destination club” is a bit of media hype. We were not miles off in the West Coast (4 goals) and Richmond (28 points) games. We also aren’t the only side to lose by a large margin at Geelong (blown away early but better second half). We are however, a lot better side moving from...

Not in the least bit concerned with what the Bombers do. Our pathway to success is all that matters and it’s looking very good...😉

Fully agree. Maintain the faith in our ITKs - they are on the money.

Agree, and even more importantly in this case, as it’s the first time that a free agent in his prime could seek to move to a lower placed club...Wasn’t this the whole reasoning behind introducing it?

I suggest we all keep our focus on what Barass70 and others are telling us over the alleged insights of an un-named “media personality” as per Hawks board. I don’t claim to know much about this but what I have heard aligns perfectly with what our ITK’s are saying.

We also used to have to play each other twice - at true home and away venues rather than the current compromised and commercially focused “fixture”.

It has always been difficult to win a flag - I don’t think that the 21st century can be claimed to be harder...To think so unfairly diminishes the efforts of previous champion teams and players.

He’s a lot different away from the media. Very personally engaged with his players.

In the same way, if Longmire goes, the Swans may struggle to convince Papley to stay. Contract or no contract, once players make the signal they want out it’s hard to keep hold of them.

Agree. He does a lot of fantastic work behind the scenes with the younger players.

Agree. Full time umpires or not, the key problem is too many "valid" interpretations. My pet hate is the "tried to dispose" rule. If they have no prior opportunity and are held in the tackle then ball it up, but don't encourage the player to just drop the ball.

We will not have Hird as our coach. More chance of winning Tattslotto without a ticket...

I think the Club can rest easy re: selecting Walsh. Let’s not give too much attention to a click bait moron.

Adrian did win a game for us against the Pies...not all bad!

This why the umpire signals their pathway after a bounce or ball up. De Goey chose to position directly behind the ump and hence should be the one responsible for ensuring he doesn’t make contact. If Walsh hadn’t blocked, he would have allowed De Goey a free run at the ball using the ump as a...

I agree completely. Stocker is a great kid and will be a good long term prospect for us. He is learning a new role in the backline (played his junior career as a midfielder) and is developing exactly like we would want in his first year. I can see him becoming a solid inside mid for us once...

Great pick up for us. Tough as nails and great athleticism.
