He was, he was marketable and a decent player. Still doesn’t detract from the fact, he rejected our lucrative 3 year deal and hold us for a 4 or 5 year deal. So saying, He can have that flag, not one godee got around him in the celebrations in the win. has a flag, awesome. Wrapped for the bloke. 300k a year and a flag. His manager and himself and esthah cost himself over a million bananas over 3 years. Probably more if he goes around in 2024.

Does havea medal. He can look at that medal and say to his tin lids, this medal is of hard work and skill and generous physical attributes. Perhaps he can put a 1.2 million price tag on that medallion and remind em of his selfishness and greed at the same time.
Like, wtf?
 
Just watched the replay of Q2, McKay looked absolutely horrible.

1- Has 0 idea how to play a Zone defence

2- he is terrible with ball in hand

3- which the commentators also picked up on, he is spoiling with his left hand only! Regardless of the position, hence why giving up frees/ positioning.

My lawn needs raking from the Autumn leaves; PM when you can come around

What? Did I stutter?

This reeks of the same shit. Wanting massive bickies to stay and will walk for significantly less (not that I think the media have it right, I think they are well off). It is however the same shit of a player wanting more than their worth.

Using the word “lucrative” but refusing to put it in context is disingenuous. A $200k a year contract for 4 years kicking sausage rolls every week would be lucrative to 95% of people here on BF. For a guy kicking 180 goals in three years in a mediocre team, not so much. I can’t remember the exact figure ($480k over 4 or something) but considering the mediocrity we were paying squillions for, he had an absolute right to get a favourable deal.

(I may have made all of the following up in my brain, but…) Brady et al got their feelings hurt when BB didn’t want to be part of the sh*t culture being created by those at the top. Brown has been proven right.

No, lucrative is when you are a hack earning $100k running around in diamond valley. An 800k contract in the AFL IS lucrative. Whats the average? 350k. Ben Brown was offered 800k times 3 years. He wanted 4 i think it could be 5. Have lay down mate.

Lol as for your second part. There is way more to that than you know.
 
Not saying he is, but if he is trying to play games I don’t think our current footy department is to be played with. Doubt Todd stands for any BS

You have to wonder if it’s media chatter, his management making feeding them, or pure speculation

Regardless if it was 1993 and Peter Mann I’d be devastated

But it’s not. 4 years of rubbish so go if you want. We can’t go lower
 
I still think he stays, but gee whizz he would want to ****in' adapt to the gameplan sometime soon. I'm more worried he isn't able to do that than I am that he wants out. He wouldn't be the first or last that is good/great when things are geared to their specific strengths but then shithouse when they aren't.

😂 there could be a little bit of “manager showmanship” leaking bits n pieces to make our club jump at the offer. It aint happening son. Not now not ever. We have learned.

Who is Mckays management? Anyone know?

Not so sure about that one brother. Was huge in the GF and I recall did a lil something for us in a huge comeback win
oh stop it he came good after the Dees ran away with it, and I was focusing on his time at North. I couldn't give a flying **** about his time at the Dees.

The guys a ****en moron and so is his wife.

Edit; I'm in a mood tonight lol

…uh oh
 
While I’m the first to criticise every single player on our last, starting and ending with (Lazzaro and Mahony).

Was Mackay’s last game against bulldogs when he was injured? And it was coming in hot?
 
Lawnmower.

With catcher.

Or get a goat.

Absolutely no point in asking a kid to do it. Thy complain, don't do it or do it so badly you give up and get the lawn mower out with the catcher on.

Idk who or what they are but if they have time to watch last weekends shit show then they have time to Mow
 
The bubble that killed the comradery of the club..
one day someone’s going to write a book about that


oh it was out of control, not enough vegan food, the then coaches door knocking and wanting to go over the latest flogging. The Then coaches not capable of using a computer. Tarrant lost his shit FYI
Ben Brown told to keep off his feet and found wandering around with his kid hanging off his leg, cause she had a headache. The SS staff ruling the roost and not being available for the players.

Ben Amafrio didn't even bother turning up. What a ****ed choice he was , one of plenty I suppose

It goes on and on.


FMD & FML

Edit- they got rid of very successful volunteers, I will never understand why. By successful I mean in their day to day lives.

You forgot Polec in that Lions game

Didn’t Bbb show a video of how other teams deliver the ball?
 
McKay is not worth what he wants. I've got a simple metric for this. He wasn't picked up in my supercoach draft. Never has been.

This actually suggests he offers NOTHING offensively or even intercept wise. He played some good games where he got intercepts but that's it
