I don't think you can judge a trades success by premierships old bean. Buddy has been sensational for the Swans. People are saying the same about Tim Kelly, if WC don't win one without him the trade's been a dud. One player is rarely the difference in winning one. We traded 2 late first rounders for him and 2 2nd rounders for 2 3rd rounders. Hopefully will get 6/7 good years out of him. Your argeument about topping up with quality FA's is flawed methinks. They cost you nothing. I still don't think it's right that the best side in the comp get's the best FA in the comp for free. But that's just me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to North in the 70's and 80's where Ron B was coach, Norths reserves would have easily beaten the Dee's and Saints of the day, in fact Norths reserves could have easily made the 5 so strong were they for a few years.... FA was about giving these guys the opportunity to play in the first at other clubs... Moore went to Dee's from Pies....zero...even he won a Brownlow with us...the AFL is littered with this stories like that..... Wells did got to the Blues and win a flag as did our other captain in Stan Alves to North but there are more failures than winners by a country mile sirs.... I recon paying out much mula for a top end without guys around him at your club is a waste of time and money...in the case of the Swans being in Illusion City where the beautiful people are and only align themselves with winners Franklin and them 2 Saint hacks that played for them was about marketing...but hey only one flag did go up there in 70 odd years...I rest my case...

You didnt miss a thing, I had trouble getting online, took the first quarter, eventually I opened a private window that did the trick. Watched 2cd and third and a bit of the 4th....Dee's were pretty sharp in the second half but was still a yawn, nothing to get excited about, and no I wasnt paying any attention to your guys certainly by half time and on North had no winners and the 22 point margin flattered you guys. That Mitch Brown could be the difference that makes a better team for us this year, that black magic Pickett is polishing up very well and id be surprised if hes not playing round 1.... My old mate who was injured for you all of last year wears 21 forget his name now.....happens.....was playing, ahh Tyson....hope hes hot to Trott for you this year and stays injury free....just dont know what was wrong with the numskulls over at the G to trade him to you, plays inside and out and is quality.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys gave up pick 6 for Lever Steven May was on $950k a season at Gold Coast, so we can assume he is on $1million a season at Melbourne. You guys also gave up pick 6 for that!!

You need to forget about your Melbourne Vixens and read up on your AFL History Regarding the 'hacks' The recruitment of Tony Lockett, the greatest goalscorer in the History of AFL from the Saints, turned the Sydney club around. It brought back crowds, increased membership and importantly gained front page media coverage in a market dominated by Rugby League. That one recruitment sent us to a Grand Final in 1996 and was the start of the turnaround into the professionally run club Sydney is today. Big Bad Barry Hall was another marque player we needed and it was partly his efforts that gave us our 2005 grand final victory. He was also a crowd favourite and brought people through the gate and gave media attention Then we have Buddy. He gave his all in 2 GFs for us, and has increase membership and gotten incredible media coverage in the Sydney media space. You yourself describe him as the 2nd Greatest AFL player of all time. The commonality of all three recruitment was each player was a STAR and a match winner. Each player brought in the crowds. People came to see these guys play. They brought in media attention, they changed the game in the Sydney market. They were paid a premium because they were worth the premium. Do crowds come to the game to watch Melbourne's highest paid players in Lever and May play? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Alex, Sydney is not a traditional football state. They needed big names to promote the game there. The only thing Lynch cost Richmond was money, about a million a year. That's easy to find really. Cut loose 3 or 4 players who are on the periphery, the odd retirement and there you have it. Jack Reiwoldt missed about 10 games last year and I reckon Richmond would've struggled if they didn't have Lynch. In the 70's and 80's, it was basically "chequebook footy" and Norf paid out heaps. A bit like Carlton, did at the time. That was the way back then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what strategy Melbourne has in defense, other than they are making Millionaires of underperforming players. May was on 950K a year + endorsements on the Gold coast. You think he would take a 30%pay cut to go to Melbourne? Add in that Gold Coast could match the offer and other clubs were interested, 950K to a million is about right. Jake Lever was the same. The sought after defender of the year, Melbourne fell over themselves to lock him in, in what they thought would be the premiership challenge year in 18/2019 (Melbourne finished 17th last year BTW) Quote Ho your from Sydney arent you...a refugee now, well everyone loves a winner especially up in NSW...

Uncle Alex, As a 2nd year player, under the CBA, Kelly was on a base of $100 000 per year plus about $4000 per game. So just North of $200 000 a season. This was one of the reasons Geelong didn't trade him in his 2nd year as they were paying him peanuts. He was going to get a huge increase wherever he went. Geelong offered him a contract worth $800 000 for 5 years. West coast offered him $850 000 for 6 years. It was reported that Lever signed a 5 year deal for $750 000 to $800 000 per year, which by my reckoning, makes him the highest paid half back flanker in the history of the game. Steven May is on a 5 year deal believed to be around $900 000 a year, plus a Jesters Pies discount card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never rated May anyway, like did you notice how excited I got when they were trying to do a deal to grab him? and yes id put Leaver over May at least he can break up forward thrusts, think you have to rate him better than a half back flanker there WILL, ( was looking like his old Crow days in that first Marsh match by the way) with the lines so blurred these days on where guys play he is a centre half back.....that justifies his bigger pay packet, May in a good team might actually begin to play better and be more effective due to having someone to kick it to who can make it happen, assuming the Red and dark Blue can get it together this year and people stay healthy there is a good chance them two will look like there worth there bickies..... That Mitch Brown has been a good pick up, we now can rotate 3 talls in the forward line, anyway every team is getting better its down to the coaches, its down to the condioning staff.

AlexRRR Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 And that maybe the case to now but that day is about to change, Hawks are plundering FA in a big way and if they should win a flag anytime soon the flood gates WILL open, like it or not and im not a fan of it the major codes overseas churn players threw there ranks big time, player movement is high between clubs so its coming, soon you wont recognise your clubs list anymore..... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/28/sport/tom-brady-nfl-future-spt-intl/index.html Tom Brady WILL become a FA shortly for the first time in 20 years, lot of chit chat to where he could be going, still a high ranking QB, but im telling you he WILL stay put, firstly the Pats owner loves him like a son, second he has a great working relationship with his long time coach, always taken under his worth in contracts, so far 30% more in a 2 year deal being thrown around, Brady has never gone for the money in his 20 ys, Patriots (and im a proud owner of one of there T-shirts and hoodie) WILL restructure the offence to have another crack at a super bowl before he hangs up the boots...they WILL also draft a QB and let him sit under Brady for the next 2 seasons to learn from the best, so far the press over there are having a field day and its just filler....... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/29/us/adam-levine-chile-apology-via-del-mar-trnd/index.html looking sweet as pie and as scary as the devil all in one Mooron 5 front man on a bad night in Chile.....I could be mean and tell you they dont sound like there records but I wont, I could also say his excuse was lame as well but I wont even though I just did...take them and leave them I can a couple of good songs for sure they have, im just surprised that Sth Americans noticed an off night full stop.... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/26/world/expensive-car-drivers-study-scli-scn-intl/index.html This might be the case in Europe and the US I dont see it here, here the average Aussie Merc driver dont want his car scratched....anyway the lines are blurred now days, even your Renault driver thinks hes in a prestige car, as for crossing the road, its nice to be home where im respected whilst walking on the footpath, love the fact I can park anywhere and for free mostly as well..... https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/strawberry-park-hot-springs-steamboat-colorado-wxc/index.html if you like the Japanese idea of soaking in a hot spring but prefer to wear a bikini or trunks because your a little shy and perve on naked people then Colorado is the place for you, its open season after dark.....nice vid of the beautiful people here.....imagine this could be you too.... https://www.afl.com.au/news/379504/take-a-look-through-each-club-s-2020-premiership-window, judging by this Dee's and Lions are in the window next year....Hawks Eagles Sydney and Cats are over the hill....Pies North and Giants are right in it....I think Giants as they WILL be gone after this season...... Daisy's Dee's women's kick a mamonth score 7-4 to Pies 4-2 which in its self is a great score....now go 3-1, WILL they get the WOBBLES again as they always do cum finals time? 21,528 freeloaders at the game.....@ Marvel so obviously they went to see someone else.... Well its now March.....3 weeks to go......fingers getting nervous on selecting your tips.....I may very well select for an upset in Perth come that sunday, I normally start off badly anyway so why change anything? Ummm....Tigers and Blues.....Blues anyone? Dogs and Pies.....I think Pies... Essendon vs Freo....Freo....though Bombers also dangerous when flying under the radar..... Crows vs Swans.....Swans Giants vs Cats,,,,,,Giants Suns vs Port....I like Dew....Suns.... North vs Saints....North Hawks vs Lions....Hawks Eagles vs Dee's .....Dee's.... I reserve the option to change my mind....... And last night....Victory finally get a win, and at Marvel against Adelaide, first win for new Spanish fill in coach in the Aleague....has done well with the team as far as the ACL goes not so lucky in home and away, in injury time Nabbot or something like that Victory number 9 takes a long run from the left flank into the box and slams into the top right hand corner in the goal of the season.....to go 2-1 up, long suffering players and fans could not stop rejoicing......Victory within striking distance to play finals though you would have to think no chance as they have stunk all year long.

Daisy's Dee's women's kick a mamonth score 7-4 to Pies 4-2 which in its self is a great score....now go 3-1, WILL they get the WOBBLES again as they always do cum finals time? 21,528 freeloaders at the game.....@ Marvel so obviously they went to see someone else.... Well its now March.....3 weeks to go......fingers getting nervous on selecting your tips.....I may very well select for an upset in Perth come that sunday, I normally start off badly anyway so why change anything? Ummm....Tigers and Blues.....Blues anyone? Dogs and Pies.....I think Pies... Essendon vs Freo....Freo....though Bombers also dangerous when flying under the radar..... Crows vs Swans.....Swans Giants vs Cats,,,,,,Giants Suns vs Port....I like Dew....Suns.... North vs Saints....North Hawks vs Lions....Hawks Eagles vs Dee's .....Dee's.... I reserve the option to change my mind....... And last night....Victory finally get a win, and at Marvel against Adelaide, first win for new Spanish fill in coach in the Aleague....has done well with the team as far as the ACL goes not so lucky in home and away, in injury time Nabbot or something like that Victory number 9 takes a long run from the left flank into the box and slams into the top right hand corner in the goal of the season.....to go 2-1 up, long suffering players and fans could not stop rejoicing......Victory within striking distance to play finals though you would have to think no chance as they have stunk all year long. I dont think they WILL make it and I hope they dont, Victory are very good getting there act together after a bad campaign.... I'm liking Tigers Dogs Essendon Crows Giants Port Saints Lions WC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
