AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Clubs with a half decent culture don’t have players climbing over each other every year to get out of the joint. You can’t keep locals and even NGA kids are telling Bell to GAGF.
Every club has players leaving every year, it's not exclusive to us, you're also missing the part where most of the guys we lost last year said they wanted to stay until we offered them less money.
No one has the volume of players walking out than you lot. If players wanted to stick around Colon Young isn’t going to force them out you know. Its amazing that you think he’s got that sort of influence over them.
It's amazing that you think player managers don't have a level of power that they can hold over their players, let's also not pretend that Colin Young is respected within the industry, he's well known to be a snake oil salesmen as well as the other managers within the competition holding only contempt towards him, he's a dodgy individual, he says whatever he needs to say in order to make his money.
It’s also amazing that you believe Colin Young isn’t representing all of his clients in the same manner, with no other clubs experiencing the same pathetic player retention problems that Failmantle are struggling with.
You don't think is going to get that abuse everywhere he goes? You're kidding yourself if you think he's going to go to a club like Hawthorn and not get the same shit he got here, everybody gets it, everybody, it's not a valid excuse.
Why don’t West Coast have these issues?
Who says they don't?
We don’t lose players we want to keep very often. Pretty much says everything.
If our culture is as bad as you say though, why is it that we have many young players signing longer deals or extending on their already current deals? Hell Jye Amiss is signed until the end of the decade now.
Henry won’t be copping anything like what he had to stomach at Cockburn wherever he ends up and if you think everybody gets that treatment you’re absolutely delusional.
Of course he will, you're kidding yourself. Funny how you can't answer why we have so many young players re-signing and extending with the club though.
Every club has players signing on, it’s not a unique position you know. Having so many wanting out though, is.
If we come out of this year with only Henry requesting out, while re-signing our young core of guys like Treacy, Amiss, Johnson, Erasmus etc. The I say that's a pretty damn good outcome.
I really can’t think of any other NGA kids running out of the door at the first opportunityIf we come out of this year with only Henry requesting out, while re-signing our young core of guys like Treacy, Amiss, Johnson, Erasmus etc. The I say that's a pretty damn good outcome.
Didn't realise we had so many outside of Henry wanting out though, you know something we don't?
No no, you said that we had a lot of players that want to leave, who else outside of Henry wants to leave this year?
Youve been a feeder club for years now.
You didn't answer the question, who else other than Henry wants to leave?
Cox? Darcy? Who knows, nothing would surprise me with your track record atm
Cox and Darcy will both be re-signed by Christmas if the rumours are anything to go off of.
In isolation it’s not a big deal but when you add him to Neale, Langdon, Hill, Hogan, Cerra, Acres, Lobb, Logue, etc etc it’s a problem
Neale- I'll give you that, that's the one trade that came down to the club's culture which he's said himself.
I am not denying the dockers have retention problems... However...
Sounds about right.
Colin Young has some Influence...
