- "Hold my beer"

 

[Super Gusto]

Didn't they take a stand last year with the refusal to trade Hately to Adelaide?

And a stand with Cam McCarthy when they refused to trade him to Fremantle?

Seems taking a stand isn't really working for them.

Probably not, but every year they turn over alot of players and it's sure to play havoc with planning and list management.

Whilst it's not working, they can't just let players have it in their minds that they can easily break a contract

 

[faible]

Swear he was injured last year as well or is it my imagination.

He was suspended for two games in 2020, otherwise I think he played everything. Missed 1 game in 2019 due to a hamstring injury around the byes.

So he's played 37 / 40 games prior to his knee injury this year, which isn't really a 'body failing' injury.

Sounds to me like they've got some player retention issues they need to sort out. Not sure taking a stand resolves it.

 

[andleanback]

Whilst I hate the fact that it has happened to us, GWS do need to make a stand and can't continue to let players break contracts.

They just pick and choose which players they want to tip out under contract, finlayson, Patton, scully..

 

[andleanback]

Hard to deal with.
Fremantle
Geelong
GWS








Essendon.

Throw Adelaide in

 

[Beerfish]

When is this malarkey over with?

 

[bomberman500]

Better off getting Gibbons on a free, than handing over a kings ransom for Hill

 

[Lore]

When is this malarkey over with?

7.30pm Vic time. But it will probably drag out after that with all the paperwork lodged at 7.29 and then being processed overnight...

 

[Nifft]

When is this malarkey over with?

Jason MaLarkey?

 

[andleanback]

Better off getting Gibbons on a free, than handing over a kings ransom for Hill

Better off getting a kid over gibbons. He’s a list clogger.

 

[Ati Tude]

When is this malarkey over with?

we're getting Larkey now? Wow. I love trade time, how do out more. where where. OMG.

 

[Atavistic]

Jason McCartney - "Hold my beer"

I personally feel the player shoulders most of the responsibility for deciding at such a late stage to switch clubs. Now he can get fit like he should have last year and earn a new contract instead of feeling entitled to it.

[Hak94]

Bobby Hill adamant he doesn't want to go back to GWS as per his management - just now on Trade Radio via Cal Twomey. Apparently his family are prepared to call GWS to plead with them. WOW!

 

[Super Gusto]

Cal Twomey reporting Hill won't go back to GWS regardless

 

[Desync]

If he's so adamant why only Essendon ?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Appearantly Hill has threatened the Giants with not going back at all if the trade doesn't happen.

 

[Hak94]

If he's so adamant why only Essendon ?

Can't say for sure but it surely comes down to contact + money on offer + I'd also say where the list is at in comparison to the other reported clubs of interest i.e Collingwood, North etc

 

[Desync]

Appearantly Hill has threatened the Giants with not going back at all if the trade doesn't happen.

We really want a kid like this xD?

 

[Call Me Cake]

If he's so adamant why only Essendon ?

Because every man and his dog can see where the **** we're headed duh

 

[Hak94]

We really want a kid like this xD?

If the trade goes through, he better have the preseason of his life and knuckle down that's for sure!

 

[bomberman500]

If he's so adamant why only Essendon ?

Same as all the 'homesick' players that only nominate one club.

This is where I think the rule should be trade/no trade

If you ask for a trade whilst under contract then the club can send you to any team that ponies up the best deal.

Too much player power kills sports
