Do Brisbane really think they're going to stop the exodus by playing hardball? Silly. Cutting their nose off to spite their faces. Hypocritical too since they were calling Collingwood heartless for thinking over whether we would trade one of our best players to them. In the end Brisbane will...

He brought the scrutiny on himself. You can't ask a kings ransom and then complain when people question whether you're worth the money you're being paid. Right now he's not worth what he's being paid and deserves a significant cut when his next contract gets done, his goal kicking has been...

Exactly. He dragged the club into a media circus to get top dollar and now that he's not performing anywhere near the standard that earned him that contract he wants people to shut up?

Odds on Mick saying GWS are a 'very good side' in the presser?

I guess so, but the 4 teams we've beaten sit 9th, 16th, 17th and 18th on the ladder, our victories havn't exactly been against quality opposition. If anything we're flat track bullies, able to look good against weaker sides but can't put up a fight against the good ones.

Cloke needs to take a pay cut next contract. He's getting paid way too much for what he's outputting.

People are happier when we win, great insight. It just proves that the only thing that matters are results. Bit early to be that obnoxiously condescending though, Markfs, we've beaten Brisbane, St Kilda, Essendon and Carlton, hardly powerhouses of the league and we had a good run of matches last...

Crazy how they are at the bottom of the ladder with so many potential A grade untouchables on their list.

The umpiring this year has been really good. Whatever training they did over the offseason seems to have worked, havn't had a single issue with them this year.

Struggling this much with the Saints, looking like a painful year.

It's been interesting watching your complete 180 from when you were completely unable to accept that making Buckley coach while our team was going so well just might be a mistake to calling for his sacking. We are on a downward swing for sure, but the time for doubts was before the appointment...

Eddie won't replace Bucks.

Writing was on the wall back in 2013. We've wasted so much time being strung along by the Buckley Brigade. "OH there were too many injuries, no-one could do well with the hand he got", "It's not his team yet, he needs time to build his own squad", etc. This is just sad. We've slid further down...

Jeebus this does not bode well for the year. It looks like we've barely improved at all over last year

Makes sense to me. How good a coach was as a player is irrelevant if he doesn't possess the communication skills to pass on his knowledge effectively, plus being a good player doesn't necessarily mean your game knowledge is good. Surprised it's taken this long for AFL clubs to catch on...

Is it really that hard to read the 2nd sentence of the article? "We hope to shed some light on them for you by ranking the AFL clubs in terms of revenue."

That study was discredited

Don't really care. Australia has a huge problem with being a nanny state as it is without our sporting organizations jumping on the bandwagon and playing morality police. If they get caught with illegal drugs let the justice system handle it, what the players do on their spare time is their...

So they wanted a cap on football spending now they want a cap on match-day spending.

Honest question, if Brisbane refuse to give up a decent player and already knew 5 and 25 wasn't going to cut it then weren't they essentially making a decision to obtain Cristensen over Beams if they decided to give away 21? They know they have to pick between one of the two unless they offer a...

Is this real life?

What are Brisbane posting?

Perfection

Collingwood has played a pretty straight bat through this whole affair, not sure why you would think that the deadline is for show. Brisbane will probably keep putting in offers but active negotiations have ceased and I don't see Collingwood being interested in reopening them, there's no point.

Yes who could have forseen Collingwood ending negotiations at the exact time they said they would a week ago, amazing.

So now the issue isn't trading him but how to reconcile with him. Not showing up to the B&F was a pretty strong statement, the question is why he wants out because it might be partially to be closer to his father but thats clearly not the entire story when he is pretty much giving the club and...

It's not 'can't', it's Brisbane won't offer quality players. Brisbane never had any intention of making a reasonable offer.

It's entirely possible that if you don't want to offer any players that you don't have enough to get both Beams and Christensen and need to make a choice between them. You can't buy things by going "Gee I really want this but I want to get something else as well later so can I have it for half...

Pretty obvious by now the deal won't get done. 5 and 25 is not enough for us to hand over a player of Beams quality and Brisbane aren't being genuine with what they have to offer, so now the question becomes what does Beams want to do next year.

Oh yeah you seem so confident about it. It's not like these poor attempts to antagonise us reek of insecurity and frustration, no siree bob.
