If he picked our club to come to he's elevated above JC. The fun of suburban grounds is being allowed to be nomadic, it's the charm I think. Speaking of moving around the ground, did they put WO through voluntary duties just for you to get paid to watch the dogs at home?

We used to follow Simon Beasley from end to end. I reckon I saw almost all of his 575 goals at close range.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Haha sadly no. Probably not deemed 'high risk' enough.

Re: Operation: Get Alex Rance
I wouldn't believe the thoughts of one media personel. But to throw money at a guy that could be lured then have a change of heart is too risky. I know this thread came about before this season. wonder if everyone has the same salivating opinions to target him seeing how Tails has stepped up. im still keen on Fletcher Roberts, Needs some opportunities.

There is only one God and he stands, arms and leg raised, in front of the Whitten Oval.

Re: Operation: Get Alex Rance
Anyone see Hutchy's master plan of giving him a $1mil holiday, on the condition he come back and play for $500k a year from there on out?
Ludicrous.

Getting closer with each and every game, in fact I would say Roberts is way ahead of where Rance was at the same point in their careers. Question is how high is Roberts' ceiling?
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Yeah I saw that on Footy Stupefied.
There's no way a club could sell that to the supporters and the playing group, even if they were willing to let him have a year off. Maybe a year off on minimum wage.
Don't understand why Rance wouldn't just sign a 4 or 5 year contract, earn his $700-$800k a year and say at the end of this, that's it, I'm retiring to go travel with my wife. This is his one chance to set himself up for life.

He could go away for a year and keep fit, come back and do a big preseason and play with anyone he chose.

I think he might believe his faith in God will do this anyway.
