    Well Jake can always sit the year out in the VFL or do a Cam McCarthy if we don't like what we see. Need to hold our ground he's got value.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      Yeah me too, if you go into it positively then the time you have with the kids can be dedicated and special.

        Exactly. He's under contract and he has many suitors. There's pressure on the Saints & North that could land 'The Package', so if they blow the chance for their members to rejoice and potentially get a membership spike. It's one thing to have your media mates like Lloyd & Watson talk his value down, but there's another thing the piss away a real opportunity to get a marque player.

          they won't retain him. If it is a fire sale they will take it. they don't want him there. it appears there are problems on the player front and the administration. the club now needs to say something.

            Has the report been confirmed anywhere?

              Not sure officially. But I think the silence on this for two weeks has been enough for me to conclude that we are happy for the media to be talking his trade up. So let's a get a good deal and move on.

                  We could squash this with a press release. It's time to call the MFB there's so much smoke, that there has to be a fire.

                    Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

                    Im usually glass half full but my inner pessimist sees two ironically funny options..

                    1. We trade jake for a donkey and two coconuts. Jake tears the competition up and destroys us with goals and swagger every time we play against him
                    2. We keep Jake. He plays 10 games per year between hammy and knee injuries as well as getting in a fight with Libba during the 2018 prelim against GWS that we lose by 2 points after stringer misses a set show 30m out on a slight angle on the siren.

                    Conclusion: We are still premiers.

                      they probably do want to say something but the Pres might not let them. He has the final say.

                        Please no, he's a list clogger. He's 28 years old and has played 38 games across his career. He played just the two AFL games this year. He's worse then our current rucks.

                          Does it matter if it's the club moving him on if there are 4-5 others willing to take him?
                          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                              Not looking good. There are a lot of rumblings in the football world about our football department/administration and how everyone is either ready to walk or doesn't get on. Stay tuned.

                                Heard this too.

                                You or I might be in line for a playing and/or administrative position at this rate!
