When he is committing to the chase he seems to have another gear

BEST ONE EVER! LOL

The media are really stupid and really has SFA ideas of how a contracted player isn’t going to be moved without consent just to fulfil an imaginary trade

 

[CatRiot]

If we enter CO into this competition + he wins, will it be included in salary cap?

This thread is hilarious

I’ve totally lost it

Off for a cup of tea, a Bex + a good lie down

Apco is my 2nd favourite store. After Aldi and it's $3.50 wine.

Gary does have a swanky new hair cut..

Yeah, it's like this one

 

[Klink]

Old mate Garry a little uncomfortable. He knows exactly what is going on and the state of play. Playing dumb.

These Adam Cooney mega-trade deals are always such crap.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Melbourne must be an absolute mess.

People associated with the club claiming this was a shock, he's going great and everyone wants to keep him while the CEO is actively shopping him to rivals.

 

[Warhorse]

As good a footballer as Kelly is, he's not what Freo needs.

He would be a weapon in that midfield.

I don’t think anyone takes Cooney and his mega trades seriously. He’s there to provide some light relief comedy as they try to fill a few minutes of air time inbetween hours of ads.

 

[moond0g]

If you sign him i don't know how you pay him less than that. That's only 65% of what Melbourne owe him

If the indexing is true, and he's looking at $1.3mil from now on, I can't see how a trade can possibly be worked out that both clubs would agree to. Melbourne aren't paying $600k+ for him to play for us, and I doubt we want to pay north of $1mil. That's without considering how you'd balance picks in that scenario. e.g., if Melbourne do happen to pay a fair chunk of his contract, they'd want our future first at a minimum, probably more.

If it's closer to $1mil, I can see how the clubs could meet somewhere in the middle, but that's an extreme amount of money.

Bad clubs reliably burn good draft picks. It's ineffective and thins out the talent available to the industry.

Yes, and no. I mean, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond and even Melbourne managed to build flags off a swag of high picks.

Neale…come on Cooney must be on the good stuff with Clarry and Goodwin to think that’s at all feasible

 

[iameviljez]

What? Crazy call. Freo have Treacy and Amiss, both very good young KPFs.

You're right, I'm wrong. I was thinking of Freo's end to the season, but they were absent/ineffective, especially in the last game.

What?
All of those examples had heaps of traded in talent

 

[dont stop me meow]

Geez! What’s all this about loos?

Used to be girls went to powder their noses together. Now guys accompany one another! What has become of the world?

In my heyday it was all done in the open! Even cops joined in

Vive le bon vieux temps!

Although, if you remember, you just weren’t there

Getting the feeling that my younger self would have gotten along swimmingly with your younger self Zouz Kitty

foxdog50 fill the cement truck STAT!!!

There is no welcome back policy signed when he left

Apco is my 2nd favourite store. After Aldi and it's $3.50 wine.

Only two in southern NSW

Like the Schnitzel place

NSW is like living in a third world country

Bastard Armidale licencing cop refuses to allow Aldi to have a bottle shop! I reckon there is shenanigans with cop + Dan Murphy’s

Wouldn't surprise me if the list manager is pulling his hair out right about now

That trade can go get absolutely f***ed

After a bit of practice it is amazing to see what you can achieve while driving a forklift
