Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2020

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

Seriously?

I'm not watching the whole thing - that's BS

Yeah it didnt look very respectful. Footy club stuff like he had just won a raffle or something. Toned it down towards the end, but showed very little respect for what Houli was talking about

If that was Selwood or another Geelong leader acting in such manner during anyone's speech, let alone a teammates speech, I'd be bloody embarrassed to be associated with it

Maybe this is just an outsiders view from what we see of the teams & stuff, but Richmond seem to have a real boys club mentality, and the if you're not part of that inner circle/clique, then you're really on the outer

We stopped watching at Round 6 to watch our recording of The Block, came back and it's only up to Round 13. WTF?

What was the room this week and who won?

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

What was the room this week and who won?

They finished the upstairs and Sarah & George won their first week.

That's better

Lol North one of their players gets a vote.
They just have to tweet about it.
Small wins i guess

 

[dazbroncos]

Trent Cotchin laughing and checking his phone while Houli gives his acceptance speech for the Stynes award just sums his leadership up perfectly

Was checking the wife’s insta to see how much his account balance increased from her cashie IG Work
Go Catters

Should Clarko be nervous?

 

[JohnZ]

Should Clarko be nervous?

Think he's talking about Dandrews

 

[cats_09]

Think he's talking about Dandrews

Seems so - it's not footy related & don't want to derail the thread, but he's giving it like 8/9 months... Time for everyone to forget tonight's tweet

Why don't Footy Classified do a post-Grand Final show? Seems strange to not do a show reviewing the biggest game of the season.

Probably not sensational enough

Does McCartney not understand that teams are able to offer extended contacts to players at any time and doesn't have to wait until they are out of contract to begin negotiations?

If GWS are so concerned, why aren't they offering their new draftees a 3rd or 4th year off the bat rather than waiting until their second year to look at options?

(Jason) McCartney also called for the AFL to increase the mandatory two-year contracts given to draftees to start their careers.

“We’d love some consideration in the negotiations between the AFL and the AFLPA, when you’ve got a second-year player coming out of contract, they shouldn’t be exposed to the offers that are getting put in front of the players,” he said.

“It’s just not right, it confuses the players. Jye loves being in Sydney, he’s really enjoying the football club.

“He got some good opportunities this year, I’m sure he’d like more opportunities as an inside mid, but I just don’t think it’s fair on the player after two years to have to go through something like this to be honest.

“For those first-round draft picks, there needs to be considerations for a mandated three or even four-year contract rather than just the standard two at the moment.

“That’s something that needs to be looked at.”

Exactly.
Cats have done it multiple times over the years, first/second year player who looks the goods and loves the club? Offer an extension.
Pretty easy.

He wants to extend the years these players are on fixed contracts so that the players have less bargaining power.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

He wants to extend the years these players are on fixed contracts so that the players have less bargaining power.

So he would prefer to force players to stay (Which they can ask for a trade anyway) instead of improving the club so that players WANT to stay?
Sounds pretty typical.

I'm pretty sure that most of our early selections such as Menzel, Duncan, Clark have signed 3 year deals pretty much straight away or early in proceedings

Nothing to stop other teams and players doing so - surely not something the AFL needs to mandate

To me it just stinks of blaming others for your own deficiencies.
If you have a quality club with quality people and a good message, regardless of if you are "successful" or not, then 18 year old kids who are still in the honeymoon phase of their career should want to stay and stay long term.
If that's not happening then either you are targeting the wrong players (those prone to homesickness perhaps, or whatever else) or there's a genuine problem with your club.

Longmuir? Foxfooty please. Think on pre season expectations they would have to give it to Hinkley.

Basil Zempilas has been elected Lord Mayor of Perth. Guess that means we won't have to suffer through his commentary/special comments anytime soon.

We'll still see him, I think. Broadcast will mostly be done remotely from next year but have a "host" at the stadium. I'm guessing old Schnozz will be the guy for Perth
