    Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

    I'm not suprised. 1/ who wants to play at North or St Kilda? 2/ why would you want the pressure of a million dollar contract when you are barely established as an AFL footballer? 3/ some people (unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance) have a bit of dignity and remember who gave them their break and don't go running off with the first suitor to flutter their eyes in their direction. Jordan do Gooey will still make an obscene amount of money, he will be a club legend (instead of attracting ridicule for missing a premiership and being despised by the supporter base of his original, unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance)

    Good for de a Gooey, it sounds like his management have half a brain and an eye to the long game,
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    The problems I see are that surely if he leaves it would be for cash since he's originally from SA and returned there from Brisbane. In which case teams like North or St Kilda are likely to offer him more than we can. Also he would probably demand a late first, early second round pick at worst, obviously an issue given we don't have any of those and we need picks for draft points as well.

He actually trained a little with a Div. 2 amateur club where I know a few guys and apparently he would be trailing behind in everything they did.

    Obviously he was able to get his shit together (at least physically) but my worry would be that maybe he doesn't meet the no dickheads policy. Also, on the back of the 2017 rumours about our group do we really risk adding a bloke who has a reputation (although to be fair it might have just been when at Brisbane) when our first pick could also be a bloke with big question marks on him (Rankine)?

    If that's true and Polec doesn't take it his parents should disown him.

    Would be a nice little nugget for Norf after missing out on LeBron.

    What's the point of a war chest if you can't spend it?

    Of course. But is it spending by offering Polec that much, or squandering?
