It’s newsworthy because the question was asked and Dimma and Jack both said they’d support him if he wanted to go.
If they said he was contracted for 2 more years and not going anywhere then no story
I reckon Dimma thought it would diffuse the situation. At the end I don't think it mattered what was said. The media will have its frenzy.Dimma stuffen started the whole thing
You're probably correct but the media cheer leading to make this happen is nauseating. Never seen anything like it in terms of the possibility of a player changing clubs. It's almost like they've all turned Swans supporters over the past week.
Yeah but as I recall it there was no media cheer leading for him to go to a certain club. And I believe it was pretty common knowledge that he wanted to return to his hometown.The Judd back to Melbourne trade was a huge media event. But he was definitely going.
If the times comes and he wants to go, a fair deal will need to be struck. These comments won't impact that.They can do that privately, without giving the public impression they're happy to let him walk for a pittance.
That's irrelevant to the media when the club makes it clear they are open to him movingThey also said they didn't want him to go.
you keep ignoring that part of the narrative.
I'd like to believe that but its more likely that Dimma just answered the question honestly without really thinking about the consequences of this answer.I reckon Dimma thought it would diffuse the situation. At the end I don't think it mattered what was said. The media will have its frenzy.
Or Shai or Tom one of those 3 but I'd prefer em all to do it.My hunch, for what it's worth, is that Dusty is going to carve up Essendon.
The stage is set for a game to be stamped with his authority.

Nargh, I reckon they are taking the P 1 5 5 !
Dimma, Jackmond, Aston, Richmond, Everyone!
Don't forget they have done alot of head space stuff with Emma.
Aston and everyone is totally ok with it.
Ain't leaving.
We are playing them on a break.
Paying the media back for all the *smile* they have written.
When the time is right announcement of new deal will be made.
Don't sell The Meerkat short.
He is pretty shrewd and Aston has only benefited by the alliance.
Will be a one club player, Champion and Tiger Great.
That's my take.
End of.
I don't think we've ever truly recovered from that loss.
Nobet Pays still cries in his sleep.Yeah, we got some undersized ruckman for Collins, fancy trading in a 191 cm ruckman - madness
Well played!Yeah, we got some undersized ruckman for Collins, fancy trading in a 191 cm ruckman - madness
