    Much like Cornes people have a lot of hate for him as he has controlversial views but a lot if it is the truth. It is just that people don't like it when it is about their own club.
    There’s a difference with a player and a shock jock. Players shouldn’t give the opposition ammunition and comment on other club issues.
    Professional footballers should know that.

      But we want footballers to be open, honest and entertaining rather than robotic. When they do they get cut down.

      It makes it entertaining next time we play them.

        There is entertainment , open and honest but bagging another club isn’t how you go about it.

          Of all the things I don't care about, I don't care about this the most.

          Not having a go at you ledge, more just commenting on how this is a total irrelevance.

          I just don't care.

            Yeah but whether you care or not is irrelevant . For Essendon to contact us and apologise means it’s not irrelevant to clubs. There is still unwritten rules of things you just don’t do. Essendon dropped him this week ( they say injury but is it ?) they have also told him to get off the podcast . It’s a bit like Akermanis back in the day, he got sacked talking about inside his own club . Draper was talking about a club he has no connection too and bagging them.
            It was big enough for the club to sanction him and phone us .

                DOGS OFFER YOUNGSTER DEAL

                THE WESTERN Bulldogs have put a contract offer to first-round pick Jedd Busslinger as the developing tall defender reaches the midway point of his second season at the club.

                Busslinger was the Dogs' No.13 pick at the 2022 AFL draft but is yet to break through for his debut at the top level in the club's well-stocked talls department.

                The West Australian is one of only two first-round picks from that season yet to re-sign beyond his standard two-year deal, with Swan Jacob Konstanty, the No.20 pick that season, also remaining out of contract beyond this year.

                Konstanty is gathering rival interest as a small forward and also is yet to get in a shot at AFL level with the Swans.

                The Dogs have made a contract offer to extend Busslinger beyond the end of this season. ? Callum Twomey

                    Unclear from that article, you would think it would be 2. Only offering 1 year would be inviting him to look around.

                      Konstanty could be an interesting target too.

                        West Coast are obviously going to throw a stupid amount of money at him especially now that his VFL form is pretty good.

                            West will be the man
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              DOG DEAL DONE​

                              HARVEY Gallagher has been rewarded for a strong start to 2024 by securing a new two-year deal this week.

                              The 20-year-old will remain at the Western Bulldogs until at least the end of 2026.
                              After enduring an interrupted first season at the Whitten Oval, Gallagher was rewarded for an impressive pre-season with a debut against Melbourne in round one.

                              The former Bendigo Pioneers captain has played all 13 games to start the season, quickly becoming a reliable option for Luke Beveridge.

                              Western Bulldogs list manager Sam Power is still working through contract negotiations with All-Australian ruckman Tim English, former first-round pick Jedd Busslinger, and Rhylee West, among other contract decisions. ? Josh Gabelich
