couldn't agree more Nick give me Greenwood over that waste of space higgins any day
dime a dozen hard nuts at north, Higgins will never play greenwoods roll...garner and Dumont more skillfull,younger and just as hard at the ball
Syd get 2nd rd Pick Waite Carl get 0 How does it work out?
What did Hawks get for Buddy?
Not 3
Its gone to the Shihthouse

H'mm let me see Waite's an aging injury prone prima donna who fires when it suits, the other is an aging but slightly younger injury prone star who gives his all every time he's goes out there, no prizes for guessing which team deserves the compensation Lloydy and it's not Carlton.
In relation to the range of compensation however you're spot on, Pick 3 to Melbourne for Frawley is as I've already stated nothing other than the AFL's way of giving them a priority pick without having to admit that's it's a priority pick, it's an absolute farking disgrace.
Greenwood, who finished third in the Kangaroos' 2014 best and fairest, has agreed to join the Magpies for a four-year deal understood to be worth $1.8 million.
no way he is worth even half that with only 5 months of good form covering 7 years at north

nickw....north have plenty of higgin types, baffled by the 4 years and $$$ but in reference to greenwood and 3rd in best and fairest.
many players had a bad year as the results showed during the year, plus missing nearly a 1/4 of a team during the year due to injuries. he was given another chance because of long term injuries to past best n fairest winners wells and swallow, norths 2 main mid fielders and at times zeibel was injured.

Reckon ziebell showed that he would be more effective up forward took some really strong marks and kicked well. Can't believe they let Greenwood go for that pretender Higgins, who should be arrested for impersonating a footballer, I may be wrong but a massive backward step for mine.
Seriously Very you've completely lost the plot Lynch had a long term serious debilitating illness, bombers player were effectively healthy there is no farking comparison whatsoever, your team systematically cheated and don't like it that they have been exposed for doing so and have done everything possible to hide the truth, a comprehensive cutting edge scientific program but there are no records kept give me a break.
Never been more disappointed in a former champion of the game than I am in James Hird. At least Ben had an addiction (despite being a total shiit from high school onwards and initially making the conscious decision to take drugs in the end he was nothing but an addict) what's Hird's excuse

WHEN the Essendon drug drama is finally done with. When the players get to do a deal with ASADA if that is what they want. When others fight to clear their name at sittings of the AFL anti-doping tribunals. When all of these things are settled, the wise will assess just how much time, money, player energy and opportunity was wasted on the absolutely naive and unnecessary.
It will be substantial. The show-cause notices will start flowing from Monday after the players sought to dissociate themselves from their coach James Hird’s appeal to the full Federal Court. And the players have asked for the tribunal cases to be brought forward as much as reasonably possible.
Why it has come to this must be asked of Essendon chairman Paul Little. His constant position has always been that the club was confident that at no stage during the Stephen Dank era at the club did any player take or was offered a substance that was harmful or not approved by ASADA.
Just why then Little would bother signing up the club to a long-term medical program that will monitor the health of players who were at the club in 2012 remains just one of many mysteries that now define a once mighty club.
Yesterday the bizarre took a new twist. Dead coach walking James Hird addressed the club members through an interview on the club website. He was asked about recruiting/trading; about likely replacement coaches now that Simon Goodwin is Melbourne bound and the likely pre-season training routine. Sensitively, he was not asked how he thought the best and fairest night went or what was the club’s plans in case 20 players were wiped out by ASADA. The poor man looked beaten up, drained and exhausted.
As the players consider dealing with the anti-doping authority they should not build expectations in line with the outcomes Paul Gallen and other Cronulla players were able to achieve last September. The Cronulla players received 12-month suspensions backdated to November last year, which meant they missed the last three games of the home-and-away season. It was a deal cut by the NRL executive and ASADA and, begrudgingly it seems, ticked off by WADA, the world anti-doping body.
However the peptide and supplement programs at each club were vastly different in both length and intensity. In December last year the outgoing president of WADA, John Fahey, said (in part) this of Essendon: “How can James Hird be at the helm of the club as the head coach when 4000-plus injections have been given to playing staff, none of which anybody can tell us what it was, most of which we know is not approved for human consumption, and put at risk these kids …”
The injection program at Cronulla is believed to have run for no longer than four weeks of Dank’s 11-week tenure at the club. It is believed a player like Gallen might have had no more than two injections. When the show-cause letters were distributed to the Cronulla players and seven other NRL footballers previously at Cronulla, ASADA said all had a case to answer regarding the use of banned substances CJC-1295 and GHRP-6.
In the Notice of Charge delivered to Essendon by the AFL on August 13, 2013, it details that Dank began employment at the club on November 4, 2012, and the injection program finished on August 5, 2013. Even if Fahey’s number of 4000 injections is just a wild stab, the figure of jabs at Essendon is going to be a lot closer to Fahey’s toting than the handful administered at Cronulla.
What cannot be contested is the peptide program at Essendon was far more intense, systematic, regimented and ran much longer than the one at Cronulla. The Essendon players were given peptides “unknowingly and unwillingly” throughout a summer and the 2013 season.
The Bombers have twice knocked back negotiated solutions to the future of players issued show-cause letters. Very early in his tenure, ASADA chief executive Ben McDevitt said the players should consider speaking to ASADA because it might be possible the maximum two-year suspension could be reduced to just six months.
It would require players to admit they took banned drugs and also help with the ASADA investigation. No player took up the offer. And no player took up a suggestion by AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan that the players could voluntarily step down until their cases were heard. They did not have to admit guilt but whatever time spent away from the game would be taken into account if they were found guilty by a tribunal. This was rejected by Essendon.
The reality for Essendon now is that they have no bargaining space left. The court case has failed. Two offers of reduced penalty have been rejected and their players front tribunals or ASADA deal-makers with a more complicated and longer history of possible drug breaches. And WADA is watching more carefully now since the NRL players went down. This is the worst possible outcome for the players. And they all marched or have been marched headlong into it under the banner of Little and the board. Essendon have overdosed on indignation and self-righteousness.

Carlton Should Trade off Walker and Jammison while they have Currency
At all Cost Get Jacsch and Try get that Kid that wants to go Hawks.
Jamo is great but wont be a Required player soon and he and Walker would slot into GWS
Cooney was that a Joke he was gone 2 years ago why would you want to sign him.
Id rather a nobody Kid from Rookie Draft and have hope that go with somebody that plays in Bursts

Damn straight lloydy. Don't stop at Walker and Jamison either, keep going. Don't bring in any mature players. Swans and Hawks aren't going away yet, Dockers still good and North and Port are on the way. Then we have the Suns and Giants. Zero to gain from mature players, won't be able to topple these teams in the immediate future. Cooney is a joke. The way forwards is to go backwards right now. Kids and picks, need not concern ourselves with anything else. A fire sale is what is required.
The Pies have to take the Beams offer. Pick 5 and 25 a very fair deal, they have fallen behind the elite and can do a pretty handy mini rebuild with those picks. No brainer.
agree rhino pick 5 and 25 a very fair deal if they're after a player they can then do a deal themselves with those picks, if the eagles are any chance of getting christensen I would offer sinclair plus their first round pick if that's what it take or swap first picks with Geelong plus Sinclair. Love sinclair but Christensen is exactly what we need and if sheed or young maginness can step up we're suddnely well placed to be a serious mover. Yeo's going to be an absolute star and give us the speed were and the good size body we're lacking in the midfied mcgovern is potnetially anything if shuey and gaff can continue to improve as they did in the second half of the season and wellingham gets a good pre season under his belt the same for naitanui who for the first time ever won't touch have his pre season interrupted thorough surgical recovery nagging injuries etc then you might get to see the real Naitanui with any luck next season. If they could somehow et Christensen over the line it would be huge but that's a very big if obviously.
Lucas wants to go to WC its a Free to good home Trade.
Deal will be done tomorrow
Deal will be done tomorrow
Its amazing they can make up a Rule now.
They Cant trade any Players in unless they drop the Extra Salary NOW.
But what they have forgot to tell everybody that Extra Salary is now to be used as Rent Allowance.
A story made up out of nothing

Its Kharma for Bris,
They allowed all the Home Sick Vics and Adel players to go for Nothing so in return QLD boys want to come back

yes something wrong when your captain who loves the club wants out, knocked huge dollars from eddie last year as well. Lloydy your way off base the Eagles list manager Craig Vozzo has said categorically in today's west they have no interest in lucas whatsoever
sorry its says that they hadn't met with him but I know they wouldn't be giving up anything up for him, at absolute best he would be a rookie listed player which would be a waste of a good rookie so can't see it happening.

Sacked Carlton defender Josh Bootsma set to sign up with West Coast Eagles.
WA product Bootsma, 21, was sacked in June after being caught posting explicit photos on social media.
He was sent packing by the Blues just days before his partner Kyla gave birth to the couple’s first child, daughter Indiana.
Bootsma said he was a new man since becoming a father, having secured a full-time job with an appliance retailer and relaunched his career in the WAFL with Peel Thunder.
“It’s a dream to hopefully one day play AFL again and whatever club that’s at, I’d be very thankful to them for drafting me again,’’ he said.

And to think Eagles fans thought they would never see Cox again after Dean retired.
There's no such story Lloydy so I have no idea where you got that from, the last thing they would be doing is taking a diick like him on board.
buddy hell..you got the bondi millionares..didnt help tho
Don't think Buddy would leave a club he won 2 premierships with for an extra 50 grand a year...........
Tippett will be sleeping outside Circular Quay station in a few years if he doesn't lift his game.
Tippett will be sleeping outside Circular Quay station in a few years if he doesn't lift his game.
Swans probably had decent room in their cap to get someone as well, with Malceski and O'Keefe gone and Goodes who will basically sign on for peanuts.
all the players will need to bunk in with Buddy in Bondi 
how rude is it to change the rules in trade week ffs - not happy AFL
how rude is it to change the rules in trade week ffs - not happy AFL
probably lucky Goodsey is staying now - we wouldn't be able to replace him with other than a kid
he wasnt on 950k wif the back 2 back champs....
Agree I don't see how the AFL can legally do that as long as the Swans aren't breaching the salary cap the Swans should be able to tell the AFL to get stuffed.

Greater Western Sydney has not been similarly restricted, with the league advising the club that "due to its Total Player Payment position, list structure and contractual commitments, it would be permitted to retain the COLA levels at $800,000 for the 2015 year and $600,000 for the 2016 year," with no trade or free agency bans.

So because the Swans pay what they are entitled to pay they are getting punished?
the most logical theory i've heard is that Sydney was going to do a deal on a big name and the AFL didn't want to see that happen again so changed the rules
it's crazy though, we are being screwed
it's crazy though, we are being screwed
Wouldn't have thought so the cats have already got Dangerfield or will have by this time next year.
Pretty sure it was Patfull who was going to go to the Swans
After what I heard tonight maybe getting Christensen to the Eagles isn't such a good idea after all so back to my original option of Travis Colyer at Essendon apparently if Hird stays there's going to be quite a few more players leaving very soon.
Patfull was the big rumour - Buddy in reverse, wanted to go to the Swans ends up at the Giants
still not happy with the AFL
still not happy with the AFL
Bulldogs should let Griffin go and get as much for him as possible imo
his heart won't be in staying there next year
his heart won't be in staying there next year
well there you go - will Griffin stay now? I'm guessing so - has blood on his hands
I just cant Wait to see Bootsma and Lucus running around for West Coast.
The thing is Bootsma if Trained up could be a nice pick up.
He just like a normal kid and had a bit of fun with his phone

No chance Lloydy Eagles need someone like him like they need an extra hole in the head, struggled to get a WAFL club to take him on. Most normal kids aren't repeatedly and specifically lectured by there employer on what is appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and then be dumb enough to do something as stupid as that. He's a real prince.
Best thing you could have ever done was let that waste of space Waite and the skill less Robinson go. How did you cope with your man Brock being re-signed???
Nothing wrong with Waite but it was in his best Interest.
I hope he does well.
Mclean is a Waist of having somebody on your list
Cant kick, Cant read play, Cant tackle just cant understand it, all he can do is say stupid things on Twitter.
Robinson at least he has a Crack, he will be picked up.
At all Cost Must get Jakch from GWS id give them Jamo and Walker for him No Picks we need all the Youth possible.
Your Man Cashbolt has to Step up next year.
I hope he does well.

Thought his (casbolt's)second half of the season was very good Lloydy
Well like it or not he's your main man now, don't think he'll let you down though. How about the cats they couldn't get Christensen out the door fast enough for a player of his age and talent the off field stuff must be very significant. You don't just throw a player of his quality away just like that otherwise.
they got rid of the bulldogs coach coz of that **** on his nose...can't have the spokesperson for your club with some crustacean on his hooter
GWS Gone,
Cant Keep Kids. All the best picks in last 3 years and Big Forward may never play again.
Can keep giving them Kids but they will continue to leave
In a shocking area.
At least Gold Coast have something for them.
Will be laughable at in years to come.
I was predicting GF for them but not now.
This year has turned so many off AFL with Ess, Dead games and Big Crowd pulling teams all gone.
Need to Change to APL Australian Premier League
Top 3 Teams just Buy best players other teams just Develop them.
Dogs run by Murphy and Johnston
Joke of a Club.
Coach tried to do what Pagen did to Carl and they didnt like it.
Just look at Lake now to when he left Dogs. He was good at Dogs but not Disaplened, went to HAwks was told would not get a game unless Fit,
Shows the Culture at Dogs. Its a Boys Club and now West wants to Coach them.
They need Rocket back to put a Rocket up them

In fairness Lloydy, the AFL hasn't been great for a while now. Making it up as they go. No consistency with tribunal. Who knows what with Essendon. Sydney have the COLA, get 2 big players, lose the COLA and can't trade now for no reason. Melbourne lose Frawley and get pick 3. Dogs lose Higins and get pick 26 was it? How is that calculated? Selwood aside, who knows whats a free kick and what isn't. Carlton suck. No one wanted GWS. Priddis wins brownlow. Rape scandals. Illicit drug scandals. Meatloaf. Priddis wins brownlow.
One good thing this year, there seems to be a shift back to attacking play. Hawks, Power, Roos all great to watch. All made the last 4, hopefully thers will follow.

Rhino stick your Priddis winning the brownlow up yours arrse sideways mate it was thoroughly deserved.
OK Lets. He is a nice bloke and very humble. Prob a lock for Australian of the year and maybe we should give him the Nobel prize as well fo being a good bloke.
Telling people to shove other humans up their arse is not polite Lets.

Sorry rhino but neither is your implications that Priddis wasn't a deserving winner
the way trades are going it might just happen
Keep giving GWS picks they will just keep coming home
Keep giving GWS picks they will just keep coming home
They will just keep coming home until the AFL re-brand the COLA, give GWS twic the salary cap of others and they become a 10 year dynasty. NAILED ON.
Speaking of GWS, whatever happened to Scully? Never hear of him anymore. Is he still alive?

wow big result for GWS. Griffen and pick 6, boyd no doubt has enormous potential so a win win for both clubs. Griffen gets himself right again physically he's a big pick up for GWS good midfield now ward, griffen, shiel, treloar, coniglio, whitfield
lloydy must be doing hand stands or maybe he's had some influence as carlton after declarig they would offer mclean a new one year contract now appear unlikely to do so.
Word on the street is they are going to offer him a 9 year contract.
Lets i told you half way through season Jaksh was coming to Carlton. (Josh Kennedy Style Player)
He still needs 2 years to develop into a Josh Kennedy player
Big Steal i believe only losing 12 spots in a so called weak draft after Pick 4
We even got a Bonus player thrown in Whiley. (I dont know much about but its Youth)
If they had of signed Mclean and Cooney i was out.
Dogs was a Savour today for them, Had to be done. Big signing of Boyd really for Pick number 5 as Griffing was out the Door and possibly on last legs, hasnt set the world on fire last 2 years. Also GWS have taken 2 Captains from Dogs.
Dogs potentially have the best up and coming list. Just need to get some more Qualty players and they will be playing finals 2-3 years.
Boyd is going to sign Members up and they need.
Really happy for the Dogs today they havent had a decent forward since Beasley.
Just hope they realise he will not Dominate till 2-3 years.
Brisbane have done well after losing so many players last year.
GWS are the biggest losers they cant get players just Draft picks, keep giving them picks and watch every year they will just want to leave.
North having a Big crack for Premership but are they good enough or are they doing what Bris did a few years ago.
Rich What have they done? Average list and no Improvements.
Geelong topping up list and 1 is a Huge Risk, No loss on the players they lost
Pies after losing Beams rebuilding so they mind as well join Carlton

6.6 mil for 7 years. Not bad for a kid who has played a handful of games.
And Lloydy, Chris Grant called, he's spitting chips about the no decent forward since Beasley comment.

Apparently the eagles don't need to improve their list, one more decent midfielder and a livewire small forward and they're in contention, I've got no farking idea what they're doing anymore other than playing with themselves.
Don't get me wrong I like young maginness who's yet to play and sheed showed something in the second half of the year and Yeo & McGovern are going to be stars but they needed to bring in a stenglein (2004) or chick (2003) quality player like they did previously for mine. Obviously they value Sinclair as I do but to not even try to improve your draft position a bit was criminally negligent as far as I'm concerned. The soon the disease that is Nisbett is shown the door the better but he's staying to oversee the stadium deal unfortunately. Karl Langdon is of the same view that Nisbett must go.

Rhino,
Maybe i should of said Full Forward.
They had to Pull the trigger or Gone.
Needed to land a Big Fish, have paid overs but May be worth it
Hey im a Big Soft spot for Dog, I was tought how to play football by Kelvin Templeton, he lived at my Grand Parents for about 5-7 years.
Honest story i took his Medal to School. He used to keep it in his Sock draw
My Grand Father was Life member and Had a lot to do with the Club.
I was always a Blue as followed my Mum.
I used to even wear Carlton Jumper in Dogs rooms as i went to every game, but would never change.

All good Lloydy. It's a gamble but I agree a good one. You can build great teams around superstar forwards and he may indeed grow into one. For the superstitious Dogs fans, Boyd was born on the day of Ted Whittens funeral. Not sure if thats a good omen or a bad one...
Good to see the Beams deal got done, everyone got little wins out of that - Pies did surprisingly well
Boyd Griffin deal is a win win as well I think - Pickers has done a great deal for his client Boyd, massive money for someone that has only played 9 games - a gamble but worth the risk imo
Last day today, any surprises to come???
