a reasonable back up inside mid?
...we could get him for next to nothing..still only 26, and the kind of player we need on our list for insurance in 2025

I did after work. Went for a beautiful long walk in the bush with my dogs, Elliott & Maggie

Hope your day was great Timmy.

No, i'm afraid not.

 

[manicpie]

Yeah I missed it but did want to listen in to see what they would say. I can guess it was probably this:
Kano: If they dont win it in 2025 its a wasted season.
Sam: Dan Houston wants to play for Carlton....

sam still thinks he'll get to Carlton somehow

 

[IlovethePies]

No, i'm afraid not.

Don't be afraid, be courageous.

Are they Dalmation? that would be only non collingwood thing they're missing

 

[Pie eyed]

Usually reliable.

Went to the aflw at vic park. Lovely day for it.

Border Collie?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Not Dalmatians. Elliott's black & Maggie's white though.

 

[manicpie]

I said frayed knot, no afraid not

 

[GETSOMENUTS]

I see him and lettuce head did a preview of Collingwoods 2025 season on SEN Friday. I didnt want to ruin my entire mood for the weekend by listening to it however

Im listening now. Kane said Dan McStay isnt a key forward. When pressed from Sam that he is, kanes response:
"Thats like saying Jack Lukosius is a key forward"........

This is the sort of commitment that Carlton and other flog coloured teams miss out on. Hawthorn could walk their grandpas jocks i guess

It makes sense for them to offer him a contract. It makes no sense for him to be offered a contract, turn it down, and then wait until after the regular trade and free agency period was over to be picked up as a delisted free agent. It also makes no sense that absolutely no reputable news outlets have reported this supposed 1 year deal if it existed. That’s pretty relevant info. In fact there was one journo who even directly answered that question on Twitter (it was either Morris or Edmund I think) when asked and they very specifically said no, he was never offered a deal.

How convenient, it’s nowhere to be found on the internet and you can’t remember where you read it. Sounds legit.

Carlton not offering a contract to Owies after a 30 goal year made no sense either but it happened. Clubs can have their reasons. Maybe they felt he just didn’t fit in to their 22 anymore and they want to give younger players more opportunity in the role.
I could be completely wrong about Richmond and Rioli/Bolton, maybe GC and Freo are just stupid, but supposedly these kind of salary cap deals are more prevalent than are ever reported. Who knows. But I just can’t accept that multiple journalists from reputable outlets would flat out say that he was never offered a deal when in fact he was offered one and then it got taken back in a mutual agreement. That’s actually legitimately interesting information that nobody with half a brain would omit and deny it ever happened, so it confuses me why you’d die on this hill when you can’t even find where you supposedly read this info yourself.

With Owies, that move plus the Kennedy and Carrol moves, plus not making a move on Houston make perfect sense if their salary cap is full.

In terms of reporters reporting that he's out of contract without a contract offer - they're right or he wouldn't be available in dfa, but that doesn't mean he wasn't made a one year offer previously and it doesn't mean the no current contract offer hasnt been negotiated between his manager and club.

There would be more chance of Sky News giving a balanced appraisal of the Labour Party

That Owies, we let a good one go there

 

[Pistol Night]

Two pieces of rope having an argument?

 

[Pistol Night]

That good West Coast could of got him for nothing but traded for him to not miss out

 

[manicpie]

See, I told ya. You don't get Owies for nothing

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

I don't agree, thought Sullivan showed signs he is at least an ok AFL player, I didn't think long showed anything, id prefer to cut long and draft a kid

Agree he looks okay although below the standard needed for AFL imo. But he is 27 years old, so how much better is he going to get? Long on the other hand is 21 so has more scope for improvement.

Was it because you couldn't see the display?
