Welcome JC, my brother in law has moved to the Gold Coast from NSW too - loves it...
My only AFL GC story was finding a cafe at Broadbeach called Charlie's (covered in Charlie Chaplin images). The manager came up and slowly broke into conversation about my kids liking AFL. Turns out it was the Riewoldt family business and the manager was Nick's dad - nice bloke...
Instead of sacking Mick, the club should announce a complete review of the player contracts and how we operate moving forward.
We have a massive imbalance of players being paid well over their worth and the rest can please themselves.
Looking at Hawthorn and Geelong etc, they pride themselves on paying everybody about the same to keep egos and jealousies in check and build a true "team" spirit...
Our top ten players are no way related our top ten contracts, and this will only cause problems long term.
For example, compare Warnock's deal to Wood. Compare Daisy, Murphy or Gibb's deal to a Bell or Docherty...
The Judd deal is the exception to the rule because he has actually fulfilled his end of the deal...and more.
But there are others who are swanning around the club whilst their team mates kill themselves each week for a fraction of the money - and we all know who they are.
And unfortunately, it's our memberships that pay for these contracts...
Thanks for this thread - I wondered for years how you do this... I'm just hoping this works! [flash=400,400]https://www.youtube.com/v/oU8v7RPwIo4[/flash]
A few attempts & now I'm a bit excited...thanks Spanner!!
