No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 2

He is free to quit. He is not free to move on. No lawyers are needed.

If he sits out the year he would still be a GCS player but could walk as a free agent.

This, I don't understand. I thought he still had a year to run on his contract. So, when I buy a new car on a three year deal, I'll pay for the first two, and tell the finance company that I'm not going to drive it in year three, because I'll be overseas, and that'll be OK with them?

A contract is an agreement between 2 or more parties and can contain pretty much anything as long as all parties agree.

The AFL player contracts allow players to retire if they want.

You could try and convince your bank to give you an opt out clause on your home loan but they will probably laugh.

Sounds to me he like stitched up the Suns. No orry, the finance would takethe car, and have me in court; that's why I couldn't understand that he could just retire. Could he go elsewhere, say a country league, or do some coaching?

Think of it as the kid you got out in cricket. He cracks the sulks and takes his bat and ball and goes home. So basically Little Gaz sits a year out without pay, as he has cracked the sads, that he didn't get his own way.

Wow in shock with that news Drew Morphett died last night

RIP Drew and like many others remember watching the Winners when televised footy was light on.

 

[Qlder_19]

Yes condolences to Drew's family one of the best commentators I have heard
Grew up listening and learning a lot from Drew about lots of sports

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Yes, was stunned to hear the news of Drew Morphett's passing. Also grew up with him, especially remember him from The Winners. RIP Drew.

Does anyone else think that Paul Roos is a negative, grumpy bastard? Get that he hates both clubs for doing over the Swannettes in the big dances but he could hardly have been more disparaging towards the two most recent premiers last night. " meaningless match between two middle tier teams", not exactly in those words. Isn't that most matches?
Think that he didn't like the game - too free flowing! (also had tipped Doggies and Bob to kick 3)

 

[DEECEE]

TMMM saying Scott Burns to hawks as an assistant coach. Good move if true.

Noticed it too. Very biased

Wouldn't it be ironic if that's how history remembers him, and not for his two Brownlows.

I've noticed most of Paul Roos' bias is in favour of Paul Roos.

Without the AFL assistance, and so many first round draft picks, what did he actually achieve at Melbourne, apart from being massively overpaid?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Paul Roos stuck around Melbourne just long enough to not be held accountable if things went wrong.

Cant stand him. Paul Roos loves two things in life:

1. Sydney Swans.
2. Paul Roos.

His new book apparently implies that he was somehow "forced" to take the Melbourne job because his salary was cut at the Academy, and that this was somehow a stitch up by the AFL as they really needed him to do the heavy lifting at Melbourne.

Whole stadium is shocking

They have a direct feed from c7 to their TVs, which spoils the game.

Their food and drink areas are not set up to allow fast access, and the concorse was barely designed to allow 50k before the development around the ground, now even 20k is shocking for pedestrian flow to and from the ground

 

[Max Powers]

Ahh the battle of the tankers is on, should be fun watching both teams trying to throw the game.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Thomas/Swallows last game in the AFL you would think

 

[SSSSSS]

Scott Burns would be a good fit. Always loved him as a player.

Take some pop corn over to the dees board

Dees supporters might need to change their cheese platter orders from the Finals special to their usual Mad Monday version.

 

[JoeHawk]

Did anyone hear that sound? It's the sound of land rovers starting up and leaving the carpark.....pretenders

 

[Ned Ryerson]

That the Demons could play finals and we have zero chance just isn't fair. What a terrible game they just played.

 

[Boot Studder]

Oh, Dee's! Hee hee hee!

They didn't handle the pressure and the lack of leadership was telling in the end. If they make September, they need captain Vibey to be fit and firing. There are a few good kids ... and then they have players like Watts, who iseems almost conditioned to flop on the big stage.

I must admit, it was entertaining watching Eddie in that last quarter.

Although our effort last week clearly showed we're no where near it. Let's face it, position 7 & 8 are just making up the numbers.
