Player shows loyalty to the club who drafted him.
Well I never.

There's only one embarrassment and it's not the club.

Someone on the bulldogs board said busslinger is shit scared of flying on planes .

Having to fly every 2nd week could have had a big factor in him staying at the dogs

 

[Chris_6678]

Logan just signed for 4 years at Swans.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Can’t believe how far this club has fallen.

 

[Elite Pete]

Logan just signed for 4 years at Swans.

Didn’t want him but would’ve been good if Freo used some decent cap space on him

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Err, we still have Edwards, who has done quite well when playing AFL this year.

We have Reid, who could probably play back like his brother.

Not sure if you've watched North but Comden has come on as a seriously good KPD and Logue is about to return.

Maric would have to be training with the back line now . He is 196cms the best kick on our list and only 1 cm shorter that busslinger

Is this a piss take?

 

[ToastieBoy18]

I wonder why people are not motivated....

Has to go immediately if thats his attitude.

We actually only have 10 uncontracted players entirely
Witherden
Gaff
Burgiel
Edwards
Culley
Jones
Rotham
Rawlinson
Edwards
Trew


Based on that every uncontracted player is leaving?

As other posters have mentioned, wouldn’t take 10 literally, however I think 7-9 is highly likely.

Burgeil was highly touted and has spent around half the time on our list in the rehab group, so for that reason alone he stays, potentially as a rookie. Witho to stay on another 1 year deal and Rawlinson to be re-rookied.

Happy for the others to go.

I rekon the club could be looking at playing JD for the last 8 games, getting him to 300 and then sending him on his merry way. A tough call on Sheed may be made as well.

The 10 players are those who were texting smack about Simmo. No space at the club for dissenters - including you, Harley.

[HoneyBadger35]

Not just Buss, there’s got to be close to 60 blokes who we failed to steal away from their rookie contracts in the last three years.

Just relegate us to the PFL at this point.

 

[ep2018]

The Busslinger decision was definitely a 'would rather take his chances at a club that wont play him vs the dumpster fire back home' one imo

In the serious rebuilding situation our club is in you would think that some contracted people would leave also.
Whether it’s seeking a trade or given a nudge, players like B Williams, darling, petch etc. are no guarantee to remain on our list.
On the flip side to that, every one of those uncontracted players is a possible delisting. Big edwards should be kept over Jamieson (contracted) and witherden likely gets a year, but the rest are probably gone.

Not too many players leave after their first contract.

I suspect he just wanted to have a proper go at it at the club that drafted him

It wasn't just us after him

I do know that he's happy in Melbourne, it was said to me a little while ago and i think I posted here that even if did leave the Dogs there's a fair chance he'd have stayed in Melbourne at another club anyway

 

[Obeanie1]

Lets not cope.

We are ****ed not amount of coping can cover up how ****ed me are. This is due to poor planning.

The fact we have no suitable cover for gov and Barrass (soon to be 29) is so bad.

We will be inn a worse state then norf. They have no defence. We have no defence. They have LDU.

Simmo responds to bombshell report some players want change

West Coast coach Adam Simpson says it is not uncommon to have disgruntled players at clubs in response to The West Australian’s bombshell report some players do not want him to lead them beyond this season.

Wow.

So unless a contracted player gets traded or retires those 10 are out.

Dewar?
Baker?

Sheed to retire due to foot?

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

For some posters on here, the club could have a puppy drowning day and they would find a way to spin it as a good thing

People are just afraid to admit we are a absolute rabble for some strange reason

Strange take because we missed out on busslinger.

Sure it would be nice but not the end of the world . We are pretty well stocked for KPDs .

We have 2 guns in McGovern and barrass

Gov could well be done next season but may play on depending on injuries

Barrass has 3 years left on his contract but wants 2 more .

Hedwards 200cms has shown even this year he can play at afl level . I don't rate his wafl form but seems to come in and do a job

Jamerson 201cms athletic tall who is playing back after being a ruck/forward . Has the physical attributes but learning a new role

Bazzo 195cms showed he had the talent but 2 seasons in a row written off but is still young and you dont lose talent .

Maric 196cms should be moved to the backline . Take rothams 3rd tall position and be used as a rebound defender with his elite kicking .

 

[Obeanie1]

Logan just signed for 4 years at Swans.

Good.

Would have felt crook him going to the purples or Pies.

Gaff, Trew, Rotham for sure. Pet, Darling, Billiams, Jones, Burgiel, Baker, Culley?

Witherden out of contract too . We would be so much better having cummings as a replacement.

That's a fairly uninspiring list of players. I wouldn't be bothered if they all went.

I forgot the Edwards brothers as well.

 

[Spooky17]

I’d like to give Culley and Burgeil another year.

 

[stylish]

Spare me

If we cant even convince a VFL player to come here, you think we have any chance of convincing the Chad Warner/Isaac Cumming or basically anyone of the standard we need?

If you wanna focus on every problem and mistake as a isolated incident, then thats when you end up with a bad culture like we have now

We are below targeting VFL players now it appears. Now we gotta sign discards like Dev Robertson and Jack Carroll it seems. Players the other team want to move on...

So WC are targeting VFL players because they missed on Busslinger who is - wait for it - a VFL player.
And not sure Carlton want Carroll to depart.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

I forgot the Edwards brothers as well.

You would keep Harry Edwards just for depth .

Luke Edwards just isn't good enough
