Mumford + Everitt + their first pick for pick 1.

Given Sydney struggled on field this year they should surely be in line for a priority pick as well?

Surely they should also get a huge financial handout to reward them for not tanking.

Ah the world of SEN, that happy place where Essendon and James Hird are only guilty of a sloppy bookkeeping.

Sounds like my twitter feed on Fisher offer by GWS was crap.

Maybe Fisher doesn't want to go to GWS now that we've signed Holmes.
He wants to put his hat on backwards and hang out in da hood.

More to come.

If we get to talk to him shortly before he talks to the Giants, we should offer him a glass of the special* Orange Juice during the interview.

Straight swap Fisher for Bruce?

Sydney are successful now. They may not still be considered successful in nine years time. I still remember watching Hamill on the Footy Show. It was the only place I got to see him because he wasn't playing football. We all moaned about how stupid our club was for having him on such a stupid long t...

Golf is code for the FACT (heard it on SEN so it must be) that Roo is choosing another CLUB!!!!!!!

Ahhh so that explains Goddard last year.

Frankston and the peninsula should be the cornerstone of our marketing push. It is a growing area with no strong ties to any specific club. Make Frankston Black Red and White. We should be working with Frankston council to expand our presence in the area. Open discussion between the AFL, the Franks...

SEN now reporting Dal more likely to stay than go. I hate this time of year- just this morning SEN were reporting he was already gone. This is why it's not called "reporting"... it's called "guessing." SEN and all the other outlets don't do much "reporting" this time o...

Maybe why Dal wanted out? "Big John" Holmes is comin' baby.

Haha he's already under pressure with Tommy Lee on the team.

Brogan Premierships In basketball and afl. Plenty make the transition as posted previously But also a lot of the Australian kids would have had "some" exposure as kids. For example Robert Harvey could easily have been described as a cricketer, but he'd have been a lot better footy player ...

Most Basketballers don't make the grade. It would be good if we are lucky, but in the end its a stab in the dark.

So after the interview, we know nothing more than before it? Did he discuss whether Dal was going as a free. Agent or trade? As was reported in the paper? If you didn't hear the interview, how would you know if we know more or less? And you are wrong, we do know more. Dont know if you bother to rea...

No offense but a couple of feel good fluffy stories is not going to bring back any sponsors when your brand has just been trashed. . No offense. But did Westaway actually achieve anything? I am not actually talking about fluff pieces...but rather my point was on the Club actually achieving things. ...

No offence, but nettles was a yuppy IMO...sorry Is that a problem for a CEO? Not sure that Mick Martyn is the answer. No Admittedly I'm a yuppy, but I can drink McCafe coffee when necessary ;) Never drink the coffee from the coffee booth/caravan thing near the pub in Frankston. In fact I don't know...

I have been to Seaford and our oval looks no better than the one my kids play on. It looks like it would be great for the local Seaford footy club. The junction Oval is a great geographic spot as it close to everything and allows players from the peninsula or any other inner city club to attend. It...

Hawks played at Waverley for 2 decades before it became their home training base... It was an already established football stronghold, that is easily accessible and accepted.. Seaford is an established s### hole and has never had anything to do with footy... Coming from my side of the city, it is a...

I wouldn't have an issue with the cost of living allowance if it was applied as an equally distributed lump sum to each player. As it is now, its a slush fund and its not helping the GOPs. If each player on the list got 20K extra it would be no big deal and it would be helping the players who actual...

And that worries me. There is no need for some of those to say it if it isnt true. They arent all shock jocks. There was rumour we couldnt even pay a bill yesterday because there wasnt enough money in the bank. Probably completely unture but where there is smoke there is fire and all these stories ...

When did Jeld Wen decrease their sponsorship? I think the timing was right but the reason wasn't clear. I always thought that Jeld Wen was the wrong sort of company to gain bit benefits from sponsoring a footy club. There wasn't a clear linkage to their consumer brands and I suspect their main custo...

That would be most brainless thing they could do.

Can I ask a question though. If we went back there to trai...

The catering deal at Cardinia Park for starters.
They make more money from the catering than they do at the gate, and they make more at the gate at Cardinia park than they ( and StKilda ) do at Etiahad.

resigned or re-signed?

I have no problem with cost of living allowance. BUT it should be applied at as an equally divided fixed rate to all of the listed players AFTER the cap is achieved. It should not be a slush fund. While every other team needs to squash their payments between 95 and 100% Sydney have from 95 to 110%. ...
