That is irrelevant, the compensation is determined by a formula that the AFL controls, it will never be fair, and if ablett is only worth 26 what is cotchin? 78??????

26 is the end of the first round ( when you add all GCs picks )

It mightn't be right, or fair, but a second rounder is still better than a third.

If you can't change the rules, at least get the best you can out of them.
 
the tigers should protest and create a splinter comp made up of mostly teams from the vfl and suburbia. That way we might see us at the top and have a flag or 2 to celebrate. ;)

Nice idea, but...

Back when the NRL split, the AFL shored up it's position to prevent just that occurance.

Sure, we could leave, but we couldn't keep the name, the jumper or the song...The AFL owns the rights to all of them.

I heard the same from my mate who grew up with Cotch and who was up in echuca with Cotch's parents and they were saying that Cotch is going to the GC.....

My mate's parents also Holiday with Cotchin up in Echuca and are close family friends sponsoring him through his junior career. The more and more I hear rumours like this that I think are true given the fact that you mentioned his parents holiday in Echuca, which I know to be a fact makes me think he has gone. ABSOLUTE bastard if he has. 3 years with us and he has bailed we would need a top 3 pick as compensation....this is absolute bullshit!

And the dominoes are starting to fall
 
I wouldn't lose hope of Cotch wanting to remain at Tigerland, take Nathan Buckley for example that crawled over broken glass to get to a traditional Melbourne club to avoid the hollowness of playing amongst 4500 fans at a fledgling club...there wont be much diff in the money offered considering the current heirachy at RFC
 
anyway tigerheads we have the Doc to take over the reins....and if Cotch goes for the big bucks, my tip is that the good old achilles aint gunna play ball with a long career and its make hay while the sun shines for him. ;)
 
That's a great proactive idea. :thumbsu:
Never thought of that.

Let's do our homework and become the biggest, dirtiest dog in the Free Agency backyard!!

Cotchin has signed with GC as has abblett and no amount of teeth gnashing will cahnge it.


Sorry to be rude, but you are a knob.

If you want to make comments like this then name your source.

I have it on good word that Cothin will be staying. He is thankful to the club that gave him his chance to play AFL and will be sticking around.

I'm happy to name my source also. But I will after you prove to me Cotchin is going.
 
The club shouldn't just be asking Cotchin - it should hold a team meeting and get every player to say in front of their teammates

" No i have not signed for another club"

If they cannot do this, they are guilty.

If they are guilty - they should be named and shamed and not allowed anywhere us or Coburg.

Screw this shit, we need to develop our own players - not the G.C:thumbsdown:

Read my post

"
And Barnzy im being a ****ing realist rather than beating a dead horse, IF im proven wrong i will apologise to all and sundry, but if im right you and others will be squealing like stuck pigs.

Oh the treachery,oh the humanity, cotchin is this, cotchin is that.

WE have already been through this type of shit nearly 30 years ago.

And the then VFL in the 70s also created some rules to assist north in getting btheir first flag and if you were around in those days and if we had the internet similar stories would have apeared.

The club can put an end to the speculation and ask the boy to sign a new deal, but they are afraid of the answer and teh effect it will have on MEMBERSHIP SALES.

AS a salesperson we never ask the question unless we know the answer we will get and that is why none of the brains trust will ask Trent.

They already know and a re going along with bussiness as usual,.

The AFL is now in deflection mode re GC deny any signings , because they know that if names are released it will have a detrimental effect on MEMBERSHIP SALES.

Its all about the money. "

being in denial isnt going to keep him here, and btw i hate to admit it but Vlad is a relative and a C*#t

I heard the same from my mate who grew up with Cotch and who was up in echuca with Cotch's parents and they were saying that Cotch is going to the GC.....
Given your mate is an Essendon supporter, we know damn well he's trying to offset the rumours about Hurley by pissing you off about Cotch.
 
My understanding was GCFC were SIGNING players, not offering deals. They found the loophole in the system that no other teams had used before that enabled them to sign players during a certain time frame. Wasn't that what came out last week?

He can sign to say he will sign if he doesn't get want he wants from us... I'm splitting hairs but the GC have been able to speak to players before their contract ends which is normally against the rules.....

GC: "we can offer you a 5 years deal for $2 million.

TC : " well that sounds good, I'll have that unless Richmond offer me want I want"

GC: " Ok sign this agreement saying you will agree to our terms pending a Richmond counter offer"

TC: " can I borrow your pen"

GC: " Here you can have this 24 carrot Diamond coated pen plus life time membership to Movie world and Wet and wild"

TC: " what about that Hummer out side"

GC: " sorry forgot that, and here's the keys to your apartment"

TC: " Does it have a lift?"

GC: " Yes"

TC: " what about those things in the sink that chop food up, I think they are called garbage gobblers".

GC: " Hmmm hay hinks do they have Garbage Gobblers in the kitchen sink???

KH: " Yer Gazza wanted one of those too ... a Insinkerator ... I think we got them thrown in with those toilets that clean your arse"

TC: " cool... but one more thing.... where do you get refill's for the pen?"
