[Kane McGoodwin]

The Berg is a free agent, can't see him effecting their Cumming/Perryman compo surely?

How does the compo work, it would be a nothing pick anyhow?

Would affect GWS if he chooses them.

going to Melbourne as a FA apparently

 

[dogs105]

What’s a GTB? He will remain Head of Footy Ops I would expect. The new guy will be Director of Coaching. Also a senior assistant coach.

He will be, or there will be?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not sure if it’s been said here but I saw GWS have presented him with a revised 4 year offer. They’re very keen to keep him, especially because he is a NW Sydney boy. He may well stay.

We need to blow their offer out of the park... as they type or player we need more.

He must be a cat as using his 9 lives.

 

[FR0GGY]

Are these changes due to the results of the review?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

if adam kelly is replaced by graham wright we can all stop arguing about peanuts

About a peanut.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

As with Perryman, it's less about contract and $$ as it is role

Well our midfield is not as star studded as GWS, so should be a no brainer.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

he’s not being replaced.

Reckon he effectively is... but we are too nice to sack him.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We might get nothing of value for Berg in a trade with GWS, but maybe if we help them out (preserving their FA compo) by facilitating a trade, they might be willing to accept a tad less for Peatling.

We just trade them Berg as part of the Peatling trade so they can preserve their FA compo.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Reckon he effectively is... but we are too nice to sack him.

I reckon we’re looking to move Kelly fully into the admin side of what he currently does, with Wright focusing on footy ops

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

As long as we have a quality football person as the head of football & not a nobody, we can start fixing the off field.

 

[Go the Guts]

We need to blow their offer out of the park... as they type or player we need more.

Fingers crossed.

in the one offseason and give up relative chump change for them - then there should be the football equivalent of a Royal Commission in the absolutely corrupt mockery of the VFL.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Graham Wright..... Cmon Silvers GET THIS DONE.

Would start to help build alot more trust and credibility back with the faithful if he pulls this off.

Then to just get Balme in as Football Director (part time) to replace Roo and we might finally start turning a corner.

 

[George Kramer]

Ch9 says Dew --> Poort

jenny61_99 was it Dew?

 

[crow2crow]

Reckon he effectively is... but we are too nice to sack him.

we must sack him

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

we must sack him

That would be the sensible option.

If Balme is moving back here anyway, just offer him $75k a year to hang around and offer advice.
