    Recruit of the century-Jason McCartney.

    Jason Macartney might just become the best appointment ever in the history of our club. I thought the way he held his nerve and delivered Stu Crameri was terrific but organising the Boyd trade this year was even better.


    Well done Jmac and thanks.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    He needs a fitting nickname. J-Mac isn't worthy.

        Jason's career and history to this point have been remarkable and he continues to be remarkable.

          Very good to have gotten us two genuine forwards in the last two years - I know it may sound negative, but I would have liked a sweetener back on the Boyd deal, a 3rd or 4th rounder (or both)

            I can't think of a trade of this magnitude ever happening. Biggest trade into our club ever?

              Our first Million dollar player.

              Seems huge right now - to be giving a young fella 7 years, and reportedly a million a year (aside from next year when he is on the AFL_defined bucks ($180K plus match payments I think). But all going to plan - the term is completely fine and in 4-5 years time - a million bucks won't be that outrageous for a key fwd in the AFL.

                Eagleton was seen as a huge deal at the time

                  Was a great get, but this is massive.

                    I like The Rock. He holds firm and… he smashes stuff?

                      Paper wraps rock..... but then "Paper" isn't great as a nickname.

                        Been a massive improvement on the previous person who was supposedly in charge of list management.

                          But in this case, the Rock owns the paper (that the deal is written on…)
