White Krakouer I hope 1 of your 13 posts since 2012 was acknowledging the work giantroo did in getting the incompetent fools at the Tribunal to see the Simpkin vision?

This thread imploding has reminded me of the "PTA has disbanded!" joke in the Simpsons.

I get why other supporters come past for the lolz, not only can we not land a big fish with massive coin but we can’t even convince our own father sons to come. What other clubs have had the same strike rate?

Bet your bottom dollar on Bailey Scott staying up North or even worse going to Geelong. It is embarrassing, no point trying to convince your self otherwise.

Gaff has just turned down about $2 Million, let that sink in. Would anyone else here do that?

Having said that if Gaff did in fact tell us he was coming then we need to call out him and his manager on it. Drag them over the coals and stand up for our clubs members.

If he didn’t then suck it up and do better

Who ever put the tick up may have cost Joyce his job

Some might say that person should lauded not castigated......

Because bridges have been burned amongst ex players for some reason... (proper reason: they lack the club patriotism other teams enjoy from their players)

Anonymous Bigfooty posters promised me a Gaff! I haven't felt this betrayed since Santa got me a Gi Joe instead of a Hulk.

Make the bad men fly

Gaff turned down $200 a minute of an AFL game every week for 7 years

Wtf

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I’m in Adelaide! I posted weeks ago he wasn’t coming but didn’t bang on about it. I heard it, said it on here but don’t carry on like I’m in the know. Others however are full of shit!!

I wouldn't say full of shit, maybe they get caught up in their own hubris and internet fame.

They're obviously been told info in good faith. Once shared on here the info gets out of control and heresay and third hand information suddenly becomes fact. This board goes crazy for that shit. The rest of this board is just as guilty as the inner scote posters for the heightened expectations.

Seedy crack den indeed.

Nope, it was known he wanted to stay. Especially those close in WA which was where I heard it from. At the end of the day, it’s obvious that we have again been used to bump up the contract of a player. It’s just a shame we fell for the Polec play. He’s going to end up the most over paid whipping boy since LMac!

No, like Dusty last year, he verbally accepted our offer.

Yes, there is the element that our offers were used to significantly increase what their own club was offering, and yes, players feel loyalty to their own group. It's a great illustration of why these deals are hard to do.

But he committed to coming to us and backflipped on that some time since Friday. So, it's straight out incorrect to say you were right when you told us weeks ago he was staying.

Time to enter the race for Will Setterfield

It's highly unlikely that he left $2 million on the table. It is apparent that the Eagles upped their bid substantially. Wouldn't have matched ours, but no doubt it is a lot closer than where they were previously.

Hun is running heavy with us going flat knacker at Kelly

 

[Groin guru]

Why couldn't all Gaff chat be contained in this free agency thread? Starting a separate "player thread" makes us look like complete nuffies, especially considering some of the content posted in there.

oh no we are going to get teased by anon internet people. Dammit...all my street cred down the drain...

giantroo doesn't force you to read it or control your emotions. You and everyone else is in charge of your own.

Giantroo deserves a free pass (he hasn't even done a thing wrong) for a million years because of what he provides this board. No one goes to the length he does and here you are complaining because some posters left a "lol" on our board. Outrageous.

Why not, nothing can fail this time...

Scotts and Joyces have a great track record. What could go wrong? :stern look

Do you feel the same way about Kelly and Martin?

Everyone said they’d agreed to come to us but had a change of heart at the last minute...what’s the difference?

Yes kangatime, you are not one to bang on about something.

I remember when you once posted your opinions on Lindsay and Brad, and then just let it rest. If only we all had your humility and restraint.

Is it apparent that WC upped their offer or is it an excuse we can use to make us feel better that he didnt sign with us?
