Botched again

[the claw]

Nothing is botched at all IMO - The club merely tried a way to get him - one that required approval as it was not an ordinary circumstance - one that they were prepared to try - One that nearly worked.

They have said this is the way we would get him if we could -


the club made the efffort to get him cheaply - something I am glad it tried.

Well unfortunately it didn't work - so its time to move on.

of course it was botched the whole post period has been botched.they made it up as they went which is usual for the club.

Every now & then we show glimpses that we know what we are doing as a club,today we showed we are still the same basket case we have been for several years.

It is not the club that botched it but the AFL. The rules the AFL say they have re LTIL and Rookie list are fine and work when you have your lists finalized. Aren't we at the time of year when we are finalizing lists and therefore we don't have a rookie list yet as we have not even had a rookie draft this year. tHE LOGIC OF THE DECISION IS THEREFORE FLAWED. We have been left short a senior player.

Earlier today I made a comment about how impressed I was at how the club had managed this whole situation.

It only took a few hours for me to be proven wrong.

Then Essendon got a bigger free kick out of it than us, effectively a free player.

Wow. The first astute post I've read all afternoon
