Peter dave and reggie?Yeah I taught him in Year 9/10. Just a quality kid. Hardworking and very determined.
Really?
Wow what do people expect with no picks. The majority seem to want to hold on to all our players too.
You wouldn't be happy with an offseason of:
Betts, Edwards & pick 20 while only losing Vince?
We will still use our pick 45 or whatever. We could still get a reasonable player there like Mitch Thorp, Ben Brown or a slider. Given the draft is so even, there will be some ok players slide out.
I think they were, just that Polec chose Port. Will be interesting to see what unfolds.
There's no point spending FA money for the sake of it. Go look at who could be available next year and tell me you wouldn't front load some contracts to have cash available next year.
You do realize that knightmare has Matt Crouch rated as potential elite AFL player and rated as a higher potential than Aish? The kid is going to be a gun. If we have an opportunity to get him we do.
I got the impression from Noble that even though the deal with Port hasn't been completed, and Noble wants to still try and get Polec, deep down he didn't sound confident or convinced that we had a realistic chance of getting him...did you get the same impression?
Honestly don't care anymore. I think he's acted like a 15 year old over the past few weeks and evidently his team mates at Brisbane didn't rate him either. The crows were the ones trying to bring him home in that Tippett trade and this is how he repays them. F him. I wouldn't touch him with a 50 foot pole if I was Noble.
Unless he was in the PSD.

some people can never be pleased and look for any opportunity to put down their club
And some people are just sick of being force fed bullshit spin.

Just like not everything the club says is true, not everything the club says is false.
I might get shot down for this but I'd be incredibly ANGRY if we didn't take him with our pick...
Our first pick is pick 42 anyway
/ducks for cover
Grandfather offer?
No way in hell should we have offered Franklin $10m over 9 years!

I'm not suggesting we should have done this but we should have been able to offer him say $1.5 M a year for 5 years. I want to know what we are doing with the salary cap space that has opened up since $kirt departed.
Last year we lost $kirt (we offered him $850 - $900K a year) and Dogga who would have been on a modest salary (say $250K). In comes Callinan from the rookie list, Graham, Crouch, Siggins and Atkins.
This year we lose Vince (currently on around $400K), Tambling ($300K) and Stiffy ($300-350K). In comes Eddie ($500K a year). Add in the increase in the salary cap over the last 2 years and where the hell are we spending the money.
I am pleased to see Eddie but I would have expected at least an "Eddie" + a "Dale Thomas" (i.e. a player paid $700K a year) given the extra money available.
If GWS are looking to trade for Dees 2nd rounder, we should try & enter a 3-way deal to land Edwards when trading Vince for pick #20. Edwards sounds like someone we could develop to take over from Hendo, should he leave us in a years' time (hopefully Hendo stays & we play both)... & also if the perennially injured Shaw doesn't come up.Some interesting stuff here.

Talia and Jacobs would both have got hefty payrises as well.I'd hope Danger has a decent cut of it, and Sloane. Hendo probably got a payrise on his 3 year deal. Still only partially covers it, but has to be included.
Vince isn't signed, sealed, delivered yet either.
So who misses out on the list because he is on it?
Sorry it was a meant to be a bit of a joke... Some where suggesting if we secured pick 9 then they would be angry if we didn't pick M Crouch. I was suggesting I too would be very angry if we didn't pick Matt Crouch with our "available" pick as our first available pick is 42.Bit like the vitriol directed at everyone when Dangerfield was taken over Ebert?? Now look at them, one is a good honest battler and the other is top echelon of the game.
