We had the commodity that the other party was desperate for - Clarko just lost the 2011 PF by a kick and the 2012 GF by a kick and was not prepared to wait around for another 12 months to fix up his defence. Lake was now or never for them - we knew this and yet we made it awfully easy for them to get him.
I'm with you Sedat. It's all water under the bridge now...... but the first day of a 3 week negotiation window?
I'm 99% certain we could have got a better deal out of the hawks. It's the swap of picks that is the sticking point for me.

Didn't get a chance to ask him anything, but I think we all know why he left.

Why he left the coffee room maybe, but not the club.

Re: Following our ex's...................
Adam Cooney's Twitter profile had him not as an AFL footballer, but in "client relations", with "Podium Finance". Preparing for post footy life, obviously. The company also features Tom Williams, Mark Austin and director Rick Olarenshaw. Coons was at Tommy's wedding, along with a who's who of former Bulldogs.

What does Podium Finance finance do you know?
Rick has gone a fair way starting from his dad's paint shop in Sunshine.

Mortgage brokers, lenders.

I can remember playing kick to kick with Ricky in the car park behind his dad's shop while our dads talked about paint.

Or result in pure confusion through communication.
"So has my superannuation increased this year?" - "Yeah, nah."
"Should I move my savings into something more secure with a possible recession?" - "Yeah, nah. You can't look any more than one week at a time."

Hahaha, gold! I can imagine them struggling to get a promotion too: "Individual achievements are all well and good, boss, but all credit to the boys, I couldn't have done it without them."

Especially given their in depth knowledge of consumer lending and the breadth of their experience in the finance sector.
Adam "hey I bought a house in Caroline Springs once" Cooney is just the guy you want advising you on the best product for your home loan needs. I'd have more faith in him playing an accountable role on a dangerous opposition midfielder.

Driving synergised solutions to meet performance based outcomes that target maximum personal brand trajectory.
You know, like when Bazza kicked 7 saussys against the Sainters.

While fundamentally agreeing with you, in my mind it's about synthesizing the core actionable agenda items of our inner loop strategic priorities to ensure pull through while not subjugating outer loop enterprise ideals through the lens of the microcosm of our immediate functionality.

It would be easily summarised as such, though engagement with workers in recent times has resulted in standardised communication becoming reflexive at basement levels. Single page operative worship is the next step, without it we'll be genuinely *!*!*!*!ed, and the *!*!*!*!s on the floor won't have a hope in picking it up.

O’GRADY PLANS TO OPEN CYCLE ‘HUB’ IN ADELAIDE
STUART O’Grady has revealed plans to open a “cycling hub” in the Adelaide parklands.
In his first major project since the doping confession which ended his cycling career in July last year, O’Grady has gone into business with former AFL footballer Nathan Eagleton to open the “Velo Precinct” in the Victoria Park grandstand.
Vic Park currently hosts club and state-level criterium races and is also the site for the annual V8 Supercar Clipsal 500.
But O’Grady and Eagleton — who played 277 AFL games with Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs — hope to have a cycling centre and cafe open by next year’s Tour Down Under.
The centre would run daily spin classes and those who are really keen can bring their bikes in to ride stationary ergo trainers for more specific training. There are also plans to incorporate an outdoor cinema and other entertainment during summer.
“It’s an incredible location with an existing cycling track in front,” O’Grady said.
“The council are really trying to make it a vibrant area … and hopefully we can help out by providing a healthy lifestyle and nice community feel.
“(Office workers) just want to get out there, do a really good one-hour session and get home to be with the kids so whether that’s before or after work hopefully we can keep them nice and fit.”
Eagleton, who retired from AFL football in 2010, said the project would help rejuvenate the parklands and make good use of the grandstand.
“The city is flooded with cyclists most weekends and we can bring them to a hub for cycling with spin classes during the week morning and night,” he said.
I wonder if O'Grady asked Brian Lake what it's like to be in partnership with Nathan

Nah, just didn't embrace the club and town(fly in fly out coach was never going to cut it) and apprently was a bit clique'y. Was coming for a while and would have been no surprise to anyone around the town(and Shermo). He got payed out his last year of his contract and Ky's got a local boy returning to take the reins. Everyone's a winner I guess.

Eagleton, Cooney & Lake started a kids play centre business. When it went belly up Eagleton sued them both. If memory serves me correct.

I thought it was only Lake that Eagleton sued, over Lake owing a large sum of money to the business.

Could be wrong, but I thought Cooney was in the business venture too.

Not sure he would have to be to worried, however if it was Lake there may be some tension.

Yes, Cooney was in it. I was just saying that I only remember Eagle suing Lake, not Cooney.

A depth player in the worst team of the year after many, many years in the system is described like that. The Age loses any credibility to mock Murduch papers when it prints this BS.

Tutt actually chose to go and clearly read the tea leaves and knew he would have a better chance to get games with the blues.
He does have some good attributes with his outside run and his kicking. Unfortunately for a player of his size the concrete hands are severely limiting on his potential for game day impact.

Tutt is a converter as well. Is AFL standard, but would struggle on our list. I wish him well.
