Goddard claims clubs going after players with the duty of care clause is unethical. Wonder if it was unethical for Essendope to go after Mark Thompson as a coach whilst he was still coaching Geelong?

Not to mention Bomber pretty much agreed to jump whilst simultaneously treating Ablett like **** for jumping to Gold Coast.

Flog city that club.

There seems to be an underdog-inspired desire to see a North-Port finale. In order that this can in fact take place, the AFL should immediately arrange for a 3rd Place Play Off between those two sides, to give the people what they want to see ahead of the inevitable GF between Sydney and Hawthorn.

I will even cheer for the Hawks if they play the Swans

I don't want to see them benefit, by way of a premiership, from their recruiting of Franklin

I have no problem with them paying him $10 million, but for salary cap purposes it should be spread over a more realistic time frame for a 28 year old of five years rather than nine

Alternatively, they should be made to field him in the team for all nine years

What are you on about? Even if he retires they have to pay the rest of his contract out, AFL has already stated.

They spread that out over nine years. That's the point; the impact on the cap. The more years that's spread, the less the impact. What are you on about?

Either way, paying him 1/6 of the salary cap in years 6-9 will weaken their squad if he doesn't give something close to today's output.

Haha sack one of his favourites and get him to walk over his grave. Not likely.

Would laugh if Goodwin takes the gig at Melbourne too. Probably won't now though - it reeks of Goodwin getting the big offer from Melbourne, and the Crows making the quick move to get him in.

All this talk coming from Whateley and G Cornes about the fact it was the senior players that did him in. Incredible.
