2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part IV A New Hope

[GROTTO]

It's what you would call career suicide. He would have forgone any chance of success for the remainder of his career just for an insane pay packet. North Melbourne who are funded by the AFL should have had to get the offer authorised because thats wasting your money. Dusty did the right thing, with a salary cap in place there is such a thing as too much money....(Not for Tippett, he would be at North now probably demanding an extra couple of $100k on the side!)

I wonder if the offer came from another big Vic Club like the Pies, Dons or Blues if that could have persuaded Martin, definitely not a shit club like North who is struggling with a supporter base in Melbourne.

Dusty should be grateful for North's offer though, as it improved the Tigers contract offer I feel definitely in terms of length.

Makes total sense!

Are Port playing Jackson Trengove in the 2s to give him match fitness or are they cutting off their noses to make a ''stand'' ?

By Smokey, does fev mean crash and burn?

He hasn't been in good form, so that has something to do with it obviously.

Marshall has talent but Trengove is the better bet in a cutthroat final.

Hmmm, how many AFL listed players are there? Summerton is included in that number from what I'm led to believe being a marquee

Just was reminded of the genius list manager that is SOS on the Trading board

Kristian Jaksch + Mark Whiley + Pick 19 traded for Pick 7

Didn't they end up with the player picked at 7 ?? Marchbank IIRC

Paul Ahern they got with the trades pick

And Carlton picked up Boekhorst with pick 19. Mins you though GWS picked up Ahern
With pick 7. Nothing gained and nothing lost by both clubs.

Was SOS in charge then?

Don't ruin it.

When is Arsenal releasing Burgo to come back to Adelaide to help prep for your Final?

Judging by their last game, as fast as humanly possible

Mate, Sturt have this

You going?

Pretty funny that North have spoiled Richmond and Dusty's big resigning surprise by revealing it early

At this rate, North will be front loading the contracts of their whole side!

I'm one of the organisers, thanks for the plug!

We really do appreciate his doing this for us - I'm sure he'd get lots of requests.

If we have any Melbourne-based Crows-supporting ARITA members it would be great to see you there.

Dusty rejected 11 mill Jesus.
Good on the bloke.

$10.5M at a club with one of the worst lists v $9.1M at a club playing finals.

Reckon he has made the right choice, as still making millions, but will be winning more too.

Hinkley on the radio today said he's back but for less than a week.

Funny, they said this at the time

• Should Port Adelaide take part in the AFL finals series, return to Alberton for the entire duration of the finals campaign

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So he and Gov have forgone HUGE cash to stay in successful environments.

Wonder if Kelly and Lever do the same. It could be a huge lesson for them.

I think there is a good chance Kelly will remain at GWS, but that they will lose a couple of others.

Lever needs to think whether he wants to play for teams not making finals or be part of one of the most talented squads for less but still good money.

 

[pjcrows]

How more cringeworthy could this possibly get?

 

[GreyCrow]

You going?

Yep. Probably sit in 127 area
