Re: Bennell

clearly double standards Spot on. De Goey and Cousins seem to be forgiven for their sins. Cousins a full blown drug addict but apparently a mistake in not recruiting him. At Richmond he did three hamstrings, punched a teammate, wound up in hospital (twice?) and Wallace said he KNEW he was still usi...

Re: Bennell

I don’t understand what you’re arguing Curly BM was adamant Bennel is a no go. Regularly making comments about his off field indiscretions and personal life. On the other hand he takes pot shots at the club for taking McCartin instead of DeGoey. Seems very much a case of double standards and just t...

Re: Bennell

No Curly, But I am aware of his long list of issues, aren’t you? The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. From my understanding he has had a couple of incidents very similar to DeGoey that you think we should have taken with pick 1. Exactly right. The media are actually correcting ...

Re: Paddy to be delisted

Sad end... not sure what to think. Feel for the bloke. But the nature of that head knock in the preseason was so innocuous that it’s hard to see him playing senior football week in and week out. What’s the extra incentive of delisting and paying out as opposed to taking 2020 off? Someone with any kn...

We’ve kept a lot of our picks recently.

Re: Hannebery broken foot

This has been nothing short of a disaster at this current stage.

Missed 17 games this season, now a broken foot over pre season.

Holidays or not, a lot of fitness work goes in over the break. Especially when missing most of the season already.

I hope it takes a turn in 2020.

Re: Hannebery broken foot

800k a season for four years.

Wonder what the trigger is for the fifth?


Although I did believe this trade was the one that would entice others to come - a price we had to pay. Looks like it got the ball rolling given Hill, Jones, Howard etc.

Re: Acres

Definitely heard that the $500k was for next year of a heavily weighted back ended contract.

They should definitely put things like this into perspective - an average of the contract would be nice. In effect we have probably underpaid him for his time at the Saints if it was back ended.

Buyer beware of the 23rd , 24th ranked player as a premiership club. Rarely do they produce anything more than average but are usually overrated ala Tim Notting during Brisbane’s era.

Jack was happy to take 800k last year whilst StK gave him 16 weeks off to deal with his issues, and he’s happy for StK to pay another 400k whilst he plays at Geelong next year for pick 54. I don’t think we owe him much, we have paid him pretty well over two years for 6 games. I agree. I think we ha...
