Last time I go out and leave you lot alone,what a mess

MELTDOWN!!!!

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Well, that's just dandy.

I guess all this will fast track our transition to youth

I know about Lonners, but Bundy ain't old.

Money can be very persuasive. More often than not that is the thing that gets the player over. It can make players change their minds. Clubs would be foolish not to table an offer to players to see if they can get them over the line.

We're going back and forth here so I think we'll leave this as it is. I appreciate your view on the matter.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Yeah, I'd feel pretty shafted if Blitz jumped ship after the opportunities we've given him. Not to mention the new car from Ford!

Do you think Ford would ask for it back if he decided to leave?

 

[RegHickeyStand]

I'm wondering if this is karma for shopping Varcoe around when he wanted to stay.

“Allen Christensen has expressed a desire to continue his career elsewhere due to non-football reasons. The club is considering its position in relation to Allen's request.”

Cant think that Selwood being in Germany right now would be loving this….

GO Catters

He better get himself back here quick, and release MAX ROOKE to deal with these players needing an attitude adjustment.

 

[iameviljez]

Isn't Lonergan contracted? I thought the ethics were that clubs do not blatantly approach contracted players from opposition clubs.

Not at all. Offering players a buttload of money to move isn't really as contrary to ethics as it once was (see: Mumford).

Will come back like a Panzer crossing the Polish boarder.

True.

Guess I was saying that our average age might just drop a bit overall.

Kolo, Bews, Jansen etc all look more likely for more game time now.

 

[nomoreklondikes]

He ain't going to see a premiership at WB any time soon

True that, but he will get more money, and more years on more money. When team success ceases to become a possibility, one's own interests loom larger.

 

[Teriyakicat]

rats abandoning a sinking ship?

I blame it all on Clark- ever since he nominated the GFC, the bodies are flying everywhere. And we missed Frawley by a bee's d*ck.....

no such thing, I'm happy to report

 

[Grimoz]

Lonergan should take that trade and go, good for him and good for the cats if they can extract something decent from it. Win Win

As I yours. Ethically clubs don't generally table offers to contracted players though. Frowned upon by most in sports management and everyone involved in list management though.

I don't think they'd be impressed!

maybe there scared of his tattoos, has there been a geelong player with as many tatts?

 

[Ozguy]

He is under contract. Make him honour the damn thing. You sign a contract for X number of years, you are freely committing to a club for that period of time.

I am sick and tired of players from all clubs committing and then saying "oh I've changed my mind". You sign, you suck it up and play the contract out.

It is a long way to go, but we are getting towards an NRL scenario. We will have players during the middle of a season saying they have signed with someone for the next season already.

You want the Queensland "lifestyle" Bundy? Well enjoy it when your contract expires.

Rant over

 

[strauchnyy]

WE HAVE NO ONE TO REPLACE LONERGAN

Kolo is no where near ready to take the no.1 forward. Rivers would get killed and we need Taylor in a more attacking role and hamling.. well pfft.

Wouldn't trade Lonergan.

 

[Sttew]

Then live in Melbourne like so many players do

 

[CatRiot]

Stringer would be unreal. Lonergan + p15 for Stringer

Stringer is mainly a forward. Not required. What about Michael Talia? KPD.

And then his brother at Adelaide

 

[bulletproof]

I reckon we can change his mind. Not giving up on this one yet.
