God that's disgraceful conduct.

No surprises though, they were both always downhill skiers riding on the wave of a solid system and in the shadow of their betters, times have gotten lean, and they cut and run.

Kinda glad we arent chasing him TBH

Shai would be exposed in our system

How nice is it to have childish petty shit happening and its not at our club.

Certainly different isnt it?

Not a lot of links to trades either etc very quiet on all fronts

Parkers a great get for North. His leadership and experience shits over anything else they have.

Tbh it concerns me that they're doing the smart things.

I see your 'smart things' and raise you a 'Jack Darling.'

Again I don't see the problem. His experience will help their young group and its better to send a cooked Darling out than Pink or whatever other spud of the week they choose.

Much awkward lol

lol wasn’t Baker touted as their next captain?
Also is it the norm to get a medal for finishing 5th?…

 

[Kong]

[Donflicted]

If he likes being self important, telling dirty jokes and general incompetence he will fit in just fine at woolies

Smith officially makes a trade request for Geelong.

 

[Corleone]

This will be swept under the AFL's rug regardless of the outcome, but apparently the Bulldogs have now made an official request for the AFL to look further into the connection between Bailey and Cotton On dating back to the original signing date. This will potentially blow up in a huge way with the potential for the club to take it further through the legal system not the AFL itself.

Law is not my area of expertise but essentially the belief is that Geelong have been paying Smith via a third party whilst he was under contract at the dogs in a sort of handshake deal that he would seek a trade at the end of the contract, thus breaking the terms of the contract. Things are going to get very, very messy.

This could expose Geelong quite badly as they've had Geelong players doing bogus jobs at Cotton On for years. My wife's friend worked at their Head Office and knew of several players in positions at Cotton On who didn't have any real role other than sitting in an office on their phones for a couple of hours a week.

They've been rorting the salary cap for years. The AFL knows and have turned a blind eye to it. Wonder if that will continue now.

Looks like everyone has cottoned on now.

31yr old Luke Parker has requested a trade to North.

Good to see they're still a destinaton club for used and unwanted players

Disgraceful speeches & thoroughly disrespectful from both men.

[Old Campaigner]

Much awkward lol

That was cringeworthy

Maybe wait until after the B&F before announcing you're leaving

So you either have the state academies or Cotton On. Good on the Dogs, hopefully they make a lot of noise.
