scotty.. how many of those 7 were in the first 3 rounds when no one manned him up??
He has been instrumental in the results we have got so far this year (similar to the first 3 rounds last year!)

5 of his 7 votes in the first three rounds.

Anyone notice Shagga stretch to try and touch the ball in the second quarter and seemed to injure his groin or thight. Hardly figured in the game from then on.

MMM said it was a groin strain during the match. But haven't heard any official reports.

 

[scottywiper]

great.

 

[Lidge]

great.

Scotty - you forgot to add a or 2

 

[Tas]

It happened in the first quarter i think.

He was proppy after that and he was wincing in the last quarter.

 

[jasps1]

given that he played out the game after injuring it in the 1st, he'd have to be ok with a 9 day break wouldn't he?

 

[Kangaroolz]

I was next to the bench and Shagga came off in the 2nd for a rub down and seemed in some pain. The guys worked on his calves and groin, I think, and gave him something for the pain. I agree he looked iffy the rest of the game but he still played ok.

 

[mighty mick]

just been given tool of the week by before the game for his antics with the doc doing doughnuts on the arden street surface.

" oh we didnt do too much damage to the turf just a few divots"

 

[benno87]

Haha Shagga you mental case.

Speaking of The Doc. Doctor Con must be the coolest Doc in the AFL? Haha.

To think that they still haven't stitched up Shagger yet certainly doesn't leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. What are they waiting for ? There would be 15 other clubs queueing up for him. Furthermore, if his contract is up and not satisfied with the new offer, then he could walk, put himself into the draft, and leave us with nothing in return
Just get the deal done !

Mate, you just arent facing up to the realities of NMFC.

No one gets signed before we secure yet another one year deal with Corey Jones.

 

[gokangas]

Shagga would make sensational trade bait - what would we want to be prepared to let him go?

Ridiculous. All part of the negotiating process, I wouldn't spend any time worrying about this one.

 

[countryroo]

He won't go .... Archer is his manager

& i'm sure he doesn't want to go & the club doesn't want to let him go but I'm surprised Ron Joseph came out with this in the press

 

[sross]

Ron Joseph is a serial offender in this area. He is one of the hardest managers to negotiate with and invariably uses the press to further his cause. I still don't think we will have a problem with Shagger, he loves the place.

 

[gokangas]

I agree this is all part of the negotiation process but sometimes these matters do not get resolved - so, who do we want for Shagga?

Maybe this also explains his patchy form last few weeks or is that a hell of a coincidence?

 

[Rod Stroker]

I can't believe there are some here actually prepared to let him go, as part of a trade or otherwise
After Harvey and Wells, I would have thought he is one of the few non-tradeables at the Roos. We know he is a match winner off his own boot so how can we even consider letting him go ?

Are you a Collingwood fan in disguise?

 

[Event Horizon]

Not knowing all the details, it's a bit dissapointing to read such stuff.
What could the difference in length of the contract be? Surely he won't be asking for more than 3 years? Why not give it to him? At Grant's age the way he is going, I don't think 3 years is a risk at all.

As far as money goes, he is in our top 5 players and deserves to be paid as such. I wouldn't worry if he can get more on the open market as most good players can. Give him what he deserves from within North list point of view and I am sure he will accept that.

 

[Z_K]

Minor details I reckon.

We won't let him leave and he wouldn't want to.
