Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

Anyway, all moot points, we are all guessing. It just pisses me off when people have a go at a player and they don't know the full story. I like to keep an open mind.

Same could probably be said about people having a go at the footy club

Yep unless you have inside information.

Unlike you I am not happy the way the team is performing.

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

At the start of the year, Cooney was playing well and the move to half back (mixed in with some midfield time) was being lauded, as was Cooney for returning to some good form.

He got a hamstring injury - came back and hasn't been in great form, with turnovers being his main issue - now the suggestion is that he is either disinterested, or being mistreated at the club.

Is it at all possible that he is just not playing that great, and his new contract hasn't been settled because these things take time?

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

Do any posters on here have any inside information re Adam's attitude? Is there any info out there in media land that I have missed where Coons or his manager have said he is unhappy or wants to move on?
Or is all this speculation based on his perceived body language.

I for one do not recall even in his Brownlow year Coons ever seeming to be other than a completely laid back type, who never seemed to dance up and down about much unless someone pressed his cranky button.

I am quite confident the club will offer Adam a contract commensurate with his current market value. If they did not I would be most disappointed in our admin.

If we don't see that he is worth more than that, just which contender will see him offering them enough to offer significant overs. This particularly given contenders are usually at or close to their salary cap limits anyway.
I would have though that pretty much the only club with excessive salary cap space, plus a need for a Coon Dog as an attention grabber in their market development phase might be GWS. Marketing aside though, I am not that sure what he offers them either.
Essendon has been suggested as a possible suitor for AC, but given the dramas they are tangled in, they may not be a significant presence next year anyway, if they are appropriately dealt with if half the stuff in the press turns out to be true.

So unless Adam is unhappy at the Dogs, or a serious contender desperately wants him, or some idiots pay way over his true market value, I doubt he will be going anywhere.

Thanks for the memories, Adam.

We should grab pick 20 or 24, whatever it is if it is around that mark.

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

The captain also gets good numbers. It's kinda meaningless isn't it? Cooney's impact on games is becoming less and less. It's sad.

Before doing his hammy he was in good form I thought.

Zero on this one.

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

Come off it. We've moved heaven and earth to get Cooney right. Do you not think he's seemed a bit disinterested at times this season?

Not my question I know. ... But I really haven't seen that across the season. At times Yes, but the more likely explanation to me is that he's not physically right. I don't get the disinterested thing at all.

According to WOOF Marmo voters, Cooney was our second best player jut behind Griff as of Round 9...

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

Isn't all media speculation, Adam has said in the past he want's to be a one club player and he may well be realistic about were his body is at and what his worth is to a football club. So he may well be happy with our offer and signs on the line.

People getting their tails up without any hard facts which are held behind closed doors.

FA and the Ward, Harbrow deals has dulled my thoughts on players, they will do what they want to do and nobody has control over that.

Re: Clubs circle Bulldogs star Cooney

The first point I have read a number of times here, but to be honest I just don't see it. He's getting good numbers, even if from accounts he didn't play well on the weekend he sure wasn't alone.

The second point I'm interested to know how you know this.

Come off it guys. I'm getting kinda sick of the “How do you know that?” response. It's disrespectful to the poster you're seemingly bashing over the head for not being the head coach. None of us can expect to know all the inner workings of our footy club and if we did, we wouldn't post it on a football forum anyway.

So come up with something better, for all our sake.

Agree.

I think like other recent similar stories — Cloke, Ablett, Buddy, Lake, Goddard — they will go either way, and we won't know until it happens. When or if it happens, we can do nothing about it, and in many cases, neither can the footy club.
