Franks for the memories. Things don't always go well with COLA

[Pessimistic]

Similar to what I was told by someone with their ear close to the ground. GWS "offer" not going to be looked at unless the AFL component is part of the contract - which it can't be. Gary Ablett was happy to take the risk, apparently Franklin is not.

Good to hear that of Bud has learned one thing from hawthorn, its to insist on every last detail in writing from the AFL

Fwiw I reckon the AFL have improved in that regard under AD

Buddy to announce his re-signing just hours after the Bombers severe punishment is handed out.

That would make my year.

Followed by Vlads humiliating axing.

Yeah and maybe the premiership.

I think buddy would then definitely be in line to receive $ from the AFL for being an ambassador of the game - showing what real AFL is about. Loyalty and sacrifice (non-pharmaceutical) for the club!

Franklin needs to make a decision very soon.....if he hasn't already

 

[Books]

I still think he may or may not sign, but in saying that if he does sign it may or may not be with our football club.

You may or may not be right.

Or vice versa...

Planning for a life in politics I see dipper, you just need the old "don't forget to vote" closing and you're done!

Or both of them!

[UAWM]

There are a few girls as well but they haven't fully embraced the concept of posting in pink.
That does make it harder to pick them out.

Not calming down ( am excused by my femaleness from the directive ) infact doing the opposite! Source?

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Signing with who though, the BIG question..?????

Does this help you Flukey??

Hello Flukey, would you like us to print in pink,? *Winking*

Good enough for me...

"It is what it is...."

What does this mean?

 

[Dinsdale]

"It is what it is...."

What does this mean?

It means what it means

 

[MC_9]

That is the most positive news we have heard from the contract negotiations all year.

I'm feeling more and more confident each week.

 

[Davo23]

"It is what it is...."

What does this mean?

Needs editing:
"It is?"
"What?"
"It is!"

Just like: "Works On Contingency? No! Money Down"

[Main Man]

As I said last week and have been saying for the last few weeks, he is now engaging with Hawthorn in regards to the contract, has never shown any interest in offers from anyone else and hence there has not yet been a formal offer from GWS despite speculation from the moron's in the media like John Ralph.

He wants to stay, always has, only thing that will prevent him from being a Hawk next year is if he wants too hold the club to ransom (not likely), in which case he can leave.

 

[hfc70]

If he WANTS to stay then just sign the contract & move on ! Simple

End of the season, I think he'll say " I wanted to stay at Hawthorn but the offer was too good to refuse "

Exactly my reading into this.
