    **** them.

    But what about the other SA team? Port seem to be in disarray too. What good players can we pick off their carcass?
    Hinkley has been making BIG MOVEZ at selection, dropping their best players with no real rhyme or reason, in order to keep the wolves from the door. Think most of the turmoil is around him and not the playing group.

    My port mates are dirty on Hinkley.
    I grew up hating port in the sanfl but at least they have real football fans unlike their counterparts.
    They have a good young list like us and have been inconsistent but at least they play with heart most games. They also can’t convert inside 50s and question team selection, dogs and port could be the bolters next year.

    Betts and Dixon returning to their clubs after one week in the sanfl speaks volumes.

    Hugh Greenwood not returning also adds fuel to the fires.

    I've never been sure about the impacts of dropping players who are more likely to help win games back to the reserves, it's always been a bit basic to me because often it's forwards and a lot of their output is determined by what happens in front of them, irrespective of what they do.

    It will be interesting to see how the players respond. Perhaps there will be a bounce in form and things will be forgotten for a week or so, but usually after these types of "statements" the bad stuff usually creeps back in across the team and things are back to where they started.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    This’ll be unpopular....but I’d be red hot on Josh Jenkins at $500k a year.

    He’d be about as keen at that as the average dogs fan on him.

    Not sure I could stomach that, he’s a flat track bully like Tex.

    Some rumours months ago that Jenkins to the bulldogs was very likely as a salary dump trade. Token late pick to get it done as he's got two years of contract left.

    He's really quick for his size but more of a Schache type

    Wow that would suck. Usually in exchange for taking on salary you actually get something.

    He is a downhill skier no doubt, but with Naughton developing he has the chance to play in the 3rd tall defender. I think his size and aggression is exactly what we need down there to either bomb to a one on one or release Naughton and schache to do damage further up. He is a long kick too.

    I know he wanted $800 last signing, $500 I’d live with. Even better put in a performance clause where earning is linked to output.

    Definitely not the answer but a good piece of the puzzle.

    Never met him, (but he lives near me and i see him in the street a lot) used to be the player i used to bag the most at the Crows, but he really dominates on social media and in his interviews, seems like a cracking guy.
