    Whole of Club Momentum

    I'm hoping the club can build a tsunami of momentum over the next week or three with some big announcements. Starting with Matty Boyd getting a contract. Maybe a couple of other re-signings with interviews like Hrovat, Campbell & Hamling. Maybe leak some stories about other teams players wanting to trade in, maybe Cloke does another excited interview independent of us. A sponsorship extension or five about money. Send out membership renewals. A March to The G. And so on. Hopefully we can keep this great momentum and then channel it into the rest of our finals.

    there appears to be more to this than they are letting on. All Australian deserves a contract and he wont come at a great cost. I knew they thought he would finish up this year but if you are playing as well as he is why not retain him. They can rest him more next year if need be and get games into others. He is a better option at this stage to Prudden/Roarke Smith etc.

    That's one thing crossed off the list. Your wish is their command.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Re: Whole of Club Momentum

    Momentum Strategy:

    Thursday - Huge win. Tick.
    Friday - Great press. Tick.
    Saturday - Travis Cloke story - said to be ripping up his contract to play for the dogs on a low wage. Contract agreed to!! Tick.
    Sunday - VFL Team win. Tick.
    Monday - Player re-contract announcements. Tick on Friday, Tom Campbell signs up.
    Tuesday - Sponsorship extension announcements. Miss. But good press.
    Wednesday - Get Crameri back at training. Locked in. Tick.
    Thursday - Team announcement. Obviously locked in.
    Friday - March to the G (Tick.) led by Stew Crameri, Russell Gilbert & former players and of course beat Hawthorn. Tick.
    Saturday - Win VFL Preliminary Final and get into another VFL Grand Final. Tick.
    Sunday - Great press & Matty Boyd 'guaranteed to play on' by Bevo. Tick.

    Matty Boyd and anyone else we can. Free agency rumours of decent players welcome too.

    Tom Campbell would be good too. We'd be happy to sign him as a FA.
