Swans were excellent...could not fault them..even if Lance was acting like Christian Ronaldo for most of the game.....

 

With a bit of luck the guys after a bit of a clean out might snare next years while still in the windows before its back to the drawing board...

 

Good luck Swans, if we cant win it i hope they do..

[farmerjo]

That was a pretty special week of football.

 

[Will27]

What an ungrateful turd.

Club looked after him financially and emotionally for over 2 years whilst he was suspended.

 

I hope the club doesn't deal with Port and makes him nominate for the preseason draft, so he gets picked up by North, Essendon or Hawthorn.

 

The little <deleted> is dead to me.

 

 

[sceadugenga]

I'm not sure that he's what we want anyway, I hope they're not laying out too much $$$ for him.

I see we've got salary cap space, I just think that it could be better spent.

The deal is a reported $500 000 a year for 4 years, which is a long time for someone with his history.

 

Probably looking at him as a replacement for Robbie Gray.

[sceadugenga]

Now there's a hard act to follow.

[ripstanley]

Callum Mills has signed a new 6 year contract with the Swans. Great news

I wouldn't stress to much Will.

Been riding the family name.

Good in a good side but didn't step up in a poor one.

Orio Fantasia would be a like for like swap.

Club paid all of his lawyer bills as well when he tried to smuggle drugs through the airport.

 

Fantasia is a jet but just can't get on the paddock mate.

Thank god we been put out of our misery, it’s been a painful second half of the season mr Will.

 

You would have to be blind as it’s easy to see we’re really only about the 5th best team this season, anyway I will say it again, no new blood in a team will set you back big time, wouldn’t want to see anyone go but  you would think they need 3 new faces that’s either come through Casey or from outside, some one said Jackson may niw stay but Dees have there heart set in Grundy so we will see,  I think someone like Sparrow should go and bring in a fresh mid from say GWS, anyway what I seen was mids delivering the ball like there in a brothel in Mexico….to much candy don’t know who to choose….and you know I do know my team better the Simone, B Fritch played to deep especially after big Tom went out, flag winning teams often have a half forward that kicks a bag a season….so there….. next year men, go Swans and the best 4 teams are now left in it…

My take on the game was once the Dees failed to put the Lions away in the 1st 20 minutes they were  out coached.

A couple of brain fades taking Pickett from hero to villian  didn't help but in a whole i thought the Dees battled on to the end,

The turning point was when Lions decided to  gain quick territory with dirty ball throwing the defence out of whack.

McClugagge started the ball rolling and Berry's 2nd half on Oliver exposed a banged up midfield.

 

I see your point about personal Alex.

A  LOT more discipline would of got you over the line last night,

Never the less whoever won is in for a hiding next week.

Mr Fj, all codes do a bit of a refresh, NFL in particular and soccer where 30% of the team is turned over, use to wonder why that was so...i got it now...to keep these guys who earn upwards of 50,000E a week move them on keeps them playing at a higher level....have you noticed when some AFL players land there big bucks contracts there hardly seen again....

 

As far as the Demons....i wont bag Simone to much but next year he will be on the ropes if they dish that up again, the hangover we all thought we were going to have we had, not one new face came into the team another telling point im my mind, yes Hunt and Jake Mel were there Hunt had played most of last year anyway and Jake was injury struck most of last season. We missed the clean up expert in that little fella in David Bowie ahh i forget his first name...no idea why they dropped him then later brought him back in for a week or two then gone baby gone again...

 

Christian and Egg lost there gloss....Brown as in Ben too.....Ho why did they not give the weed a decent run? Look a fair few were missing the Energiser spark from last year...poor Lever and May had to tolerate a sloppy middle and forward set up all year long...

 

Like go recruit someone who plays around the middle has good vision and can pop it on your chest....like the forwards must have thought they were in Ukraine with long bombs coming in, gees basic football is to you know try and get it to a leading player....nahhh......entire middle of the park were guilt of that one...

 

Ho and no spread da ball....Collingwood played a bit like us i notice, well like last year, how they spread it far and wide in the back line...

 

Look Simone and Williams would have been in there ears all year long but when the desire isnt there its not there....after round 12 there were god dam dreadful.....

 

And you know when it became obvious Jackson was heading for Cottlesglow beach like not sign on the dotted line Gawn should have gone back into the ruck and egg Could play second fiddle anyway i heard Petracca today say quite a few were playing injured.....id say from round 13.....

[AlexRRR]

Young Will should be a happy man.....Egg Jackson could end up at the Eagles next season, not as silly as he looks and has a top manager...shopping the kid in the west...

 

Rising star, premiership player, played nearly all games 53 in total, ruck, forward, on the ball, and i think could easily play across half back as well...and if he stays id put him there next year.....number 3 pick in the draft 3 years ago not 21 yet and cheap at 2 first round picks....minimum....

 

Freo will have to pay pay pay, and Eagles too, but can the Eagles afford him? after selling your soul for Kelly is there any desire to "do it again".....asks Steely Dan. your all old enough to recall that song, all time classic on the alternative music charts men...

 

Well im sure some surprises are in order...Will Dees, make a late run for De Goofy? like he is what we need without the extra social activities he gets up to...... dont be suprised...i wouldnt be....he has a bit of magic there all searching for and lets face it if Simone was happy to give that last Koorie a go Goofy would be a lot easier to manage....well we think so.....we are highly experienced at managing brain space....Egg is a good boy....

 

Jason Dunstall will come out of retirement if Lance heads north, Gerard "mercenary" Healy has also indicated he would tag along with Jay to see if they could get a game at the Swans next year.....so there still able to pull the big guys up there, looking for that last superannuation check....

 

Cats will rubber stamp there hot favourite flag credentials this weekend when they take apart the Lions......

 

They are due a loss........

 

Swans and Pies should be a classic, im tipping the Swans here but if Grundy is in the team......the Dee bound boy at just 28 could tip it in there favour...

 

Assuming the Swans make the Gf and the law of averages dictates the Cats need to loose a game....its a red and white affair in Sydney on that saturday night....pretty sure Edison will get dug up and placed on the podium as well along with the drug crazed mrs....with tatts all over her body...looking like shes a glamour queen that just crawled out of a drain....bit like the grunge queen back in the early 00 a Miss Courtney Love....

I reckon it's all smoke and mirrors regarding Jackson Uncle Alex.

Pretty sure he wants to go to Freo byt his manager is trying to drive up his price.

 

We need mids mids and more mids.

Jackson would be nice but over-hyped and too expensive.

 

He had a good first year but has been ordinary this year.

Freo reported to be offering 7 years at 6 million.

No way in the world is he worth that.

 

Think we'll pass and hit the draft.

Its offical, read it on the sky train a few hours ago....Egg is west bound, think you very wrong there mr, the dark one in nit nack can hardly get on the park these days and like he is pushing 32 or there abouts, dont think you carry much weight around the Eagles recruiting room there fella.

 

Jackson had a ordinary second half to the year like the rest of my team....but was great first half of the year....

 

Egg was instrumental in the big lift in the GF mate, Fritch was keeping us in the game but when he went on to the ball he made it happen...very good solid second year highliting in an almost BOG performance in the GF, first year it was just showing oodles off class to come...

 

What Freo or Eagles get out of him depends where you play him, the formula is second ruck playing mainly forward, Eagles need Egg more than Freo, i for the life of me cant see how Freo unless they run him like we did...will benefit, makes much more sense at the Eagles.

 

2 first round picks would be cheap for a 21 year old when the season starts next year, like who's in the draft now that would walk into your team? anyway with a bit of magic you could turn your 2cd pick into 2 first rounders if your a cleaver dicky, give one this year and next years, and still have a first round pick to use this year......

 

6m over 7 ys for a ruckman that often dont develop untill there around 25-27 like Max,  a spring chicken at 21 start of next season....come on fella....like this guy was looking like Jim Stynes there, could do everything except for the hiccup of this second half of the year when he had 25 mates to tag along with....ive only ever seen one guy just get better and better week in week out then just hold his quality till the day he retired....Jim....Egg was looking the same....mild hiccup this second half of the year.....id pounce if i were you....

There you go young Will....sold to the Eagles, just makes much more sense and they have the draft capital to make it happen, this guy is often on the money by the way...and we found out Jacko is an Eagles supporter....going home home...home wards bound....ships ahoy....

 

Freo would need to move mountains mate to get Egg, Dee's im pretty sure there getting Grundy so thats a first rounder they need and i would not be surprised if they have an eye on a middle of the park talent in the draft pool within the 6 to 14 pick range....

 

What you give us for Van Rooyen? he will figure next season.

IT won't happen Uncle.

He supported Freo growing up.

 

He's going to Freo.

If the Eagles get Mitch Georgiades for Riolli they will get the best of the deal and Port have rocks in their head.

Rhalps said Egg and family went too Eagles games.....

 

Anyway lets not allow Eggs and Willy to move...how dare them after all that the clubs have done for them...never mind that clubs move players when they want ...hey it cant go the other way...no its Putins law....its my way only even when your getting done like a dinner....

 

Look just help us out here so we can really screw the Dockers over...squeeze all the draft capital out of them for the next 3 ys.....Actually i like to squeeze the Crows after the Lever deal.....

 

Me i dont think paying to much for anyone is a winner in the long run....Abblet to the Suns....was pure marketing only....same as Franklin to the Swans....no flags came of it....Tippert? recall him?? two million dollar boys running around together.....nothing came of it....before you mention leave it to Leaver he might have been a bit of a big deal at the time but no Abblet of Franklin mr...and yes 2 first rounders for a defender was too much..but we will get the Crows back one day.....

 

Pies do a clean out of some expensive players, low ball Goofy and happy to see Grundy who hasn't done much since he signed his 7 million $$$$$$$ deal....nor played much i might add.....and look there in the prelim....say no more.....

 

Anyway your man Rohan O'Brien says were not gun shy in regards to Egg...even claims pick 2 is not up for grabs.......but you could turn pick 2 and 20 into 2 first round picks and a late 2cd or a couple of 3rds....think about it.....and you could toss in Kelly.....i like Yeo....well i did once....anyone else left i might like? Just make Freo dance a bit faster is all im asking....that will doooooooooo....

I think we're just driving up the price of Egg because Freo did it to us with Kelly.

 

There used to be an unspoken rule that when a player nominated a WA club, the other club

would step away.

But Peter Bell broke the rule and said they were interested in Kelly, so it pushed the price up.

 

I agree with you about Long, 5, 6 and 7 year deals Uncle.

The only one that has worked IMO is Bud to Sydney.

 

Loyalty is only good if it's a two way street.

We could've  (probably should've with hindsight) sacked Rioli but held on to him.

Paid him a wage for 2 years when we didn't have to.

Paid for his legal fee's when he got done at the airport with dope down his pants.

 

The club has bent over backwards for the little <deleted>.

I hope we get Port's compensation pick for Karl Amon which will be around 25

and we can move on.

 

If Port try and lowball us with a 3rd rounder, send him to the preseason draft where

North can get him for free.

 

[AlexRRR]

IDC, its all bullocks to me....no loyalty in it anymore.....and should there be?.....just watch if Oliver or one of the others drops off and see what happens.....

 

I use to watch in amusement back when i was a young 30s something, how everybody wanted a new job to earn more money, a new car and a new house or a period home....all looking to "improve" there lot but expected there football team to be stuck in 1952.....

 

And the press....i defiantly got jaded over the press the last 25 ys, its the main reason i dont watch tv news i only read the news so i can skip over the bullocks....the imagination of guys who are led by an editor who need a story etc....

 

Anyway so far the AFL free agency, contract system and salary cap has keep a somewhat lid on it which keeps it sane....NFL dumps 20 plus players a year from a team, think there FA is just 5 ys, granted they have a lot more fringe players in the team think its a roster of about 55, soccer well....they could change up to half the team and there just on contracts.

 

IDC where Jackson ends up and and IDC what we get for him really.....the better clubs like the Cats and Pies and Eagles dont stay down for long always able to get a decent list on the park and there doing it from high ladder positions....

 

 

 

[Will27]

Logue will be a good get for you FJ.

Not a forwards bumhole but a handy defender.

 

The rumoured contract is 4 years at $700 000 which is too high IMO.

 

He wants to play defence and doesn't get that opportunity at Freo.

[ripstanley]

Whoever plays Geelong in the Grand Final will run 2nd. I hope I am wrong but i doubt it.
