Well said , but it will continue sadly from them and some on here

The point is we know the media are like and they are going to hype up everything associated with Warner until he extends.

So why add to it by meeting so publicly with the Eagles? Unless of course, all you care about is yourself ...

Or unless you’re just catching up with an old mentor for a round of golf?

 

[tombomb]

Or unless you’re just catching up with an old mentor for a round of golf?

Unfortunately, Pyke is now the CEO of the Eagles

If he just wants to catchup, do it in private.

 

[Superstar swan]

It’s not the issue of Warner re signing or not. It’s media shit storm it’s going to create all year and he’s only adding to it

 

[liz]

Unfortunately, Pyke is now the CEO of the Eagles

If he just wants to catchup, do it in private.

Like Harley did with Daniher?

Maybe he wanted to play golf. They both did.

I’d actually be more persuaded that he was looking to leave if he was meeting with Pyke privately. But even then it would be a “if he leaves, he leaves”.

 

[Tedeski]

Not fussed if he stays in not over the top coin or takes the money & runs. As long as we are well compensated by the team he goes to. If West Coast, we’ve always had a great trading relationship with them.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Or unless you’re just catching up with an old mentor for a round of golf?

I can't believe that all three of them don't realise that they're "feeding the chooks" as the saying goes.

You are missing the point. The issue isn't about whether Chad does or doesn't leave.

It's the unwanted attention he creates by playing it out in public.

I don't think anyone is saying he shouldn't be allowed to look at his options.

In 12 months time and Harley Reid is uncontracted, if he is playing golf with the Essendon CEO, are their supporters going to be saying 'They are just mates. He is allowed to play golf with his mates. Who cares about the circus he is adding to?!'.

And Daniher met Harley in private and then got ratted out by some GWS player who was Harley's neighbour. And he was still contracted for the following season.

I am not “missing the point”. I think it is a stupid point. The football media is going to speculate and froth until such time as Warner re-signs (or doesn’t). That’s because there are too many talentless leeches incapable of writing anything interesting or insightful about the game.

They’ll do that regardless of who Warner plays golf with. Or what colour kicks he wears, or what he eats for breakfast.

The last thing we need is Warner himself adding to it.

 

[Kbroome]

The last thing Sydney needs is that but definitely not the last thing Warner needs as he will just get more money out of it.

 

[liz]

If it’s going to happen anyway, Warner isn’t adding to it.

That’s my point. You can own your point as your own.

 

[rustycrate]

It is all just media crap.
Whatever will be will be.

Warner does not define us. Yes he is an ace in the pack. But we can win without him.
If he leaves we get some good compensation.
If he stays we get a game breaking mid hopefully enabling a GF win.

Mitchell left. Swans still prevailed.
Dawson left. Swans still prevailed.
Buddy retired. Swans still prevailed.
etc

 

[tombomb]

If it’s going to happen anyway, Warner isn’t adding to it.

That’s my point. You can own your point as your own.

If Warner's intention is to leave, then he should have just asked out in the trade period.

 

[liz]

If Warner's intention is to leave, then he should have just asked out in the trade period.

Who’s said he’s going to leave?

My guess is- and it is just a guess - is that he hasn’t yet made up his mind.

 

[tombomb]

My guess is- and it is just a guess - is that he hasn’t yet made up his mind.

You said if he is going to leave, it doesn't matter what he does.

'If it’s going to happen anyway, Warner isn’t adding to it.'

I think he still plays for us, it does matter what he does and how it impacts our team.

“It” being the media froth and speculation. Not his departure.

I think that was an obvious grammatical use of “it” in my earlier post.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Like Harley did with Daniher?

Maybe he wanted to play golf. They both did.

I’d actually be more persuaded that he was looking to leave if he was meeting with Pyke privately. But even then it would be a “if he leaves, he leaves”.

No media picked up on it untill the GWS player snitched Harley out

 

[bedford]

Unfortunately, Pyke is now the CEO of the Eagles

If he just wants to catchup, do it in private.

You can't on a golf course and no matter when you go someone will take a picture

 

[ashep]

If you don't want to partake in the speculation, leave the thread until he's put pen to paper here or somewhere else.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to tune it out, but at the same time it's entirely within your power to do so.

 

[Tedeski]

Mitchell left. Swans still prevailed.
Dawson left. Swans still prevailed.
Buddy retired. Swans still prevailed.
etc

If by prevailed you mean we made it to a Grand Final thumping, then sure, we’ve prevailed 4 times since our last premiership.
Gotta be happy with that.

 

[Tedeski]

I think if we can make the GF again, that should be enough to convince him to stay.

 

[tombomb]

Don't mention that ... no one deserves that kind of trauma.

 

[Bonz]

If Warner's intention is to leave, then he should have just asked out in the trade period.

No way.

He is probably genuinely unsure if his going to leave, and more importantly we should be in flag contention this season, and for 2025 a single Warner is worth more than two first rounders.

 

[Bandit55]

You are missing the point. The issue isn't about whether Chad does or doesn't leave.

Daniher is Tony Norwood’s nephew, so the Harley meeting was a non story.
