[Barto]

The Star of David?

Mucking up the sponsors logo ist verboten.

[am Bays]

They've got lots of these? ...

Did Grocke grab those spares as he left Menzies cres??

[Freo HeaveHo]

The WWTFC is delighted to announce the signing of South Adelaide duo Andrew Ainger and Lachlan Carey, as well as Tim Mackenzie from the North Ballarat Rebels.

Dunno bout the price tag but Ainger can play a bit. Not sure bout the Boyfriend tho. He might not last long running around in the Scooby Doo's

[wedgetail]

for a 40k sign on in each 2012 and 2013, plus 400 a game I'd be going there too!

For the Eagles sake, I hope the ankle holds up; with 80k garanteed regardless of games or performance!

Wouldn't be the first time you were wrong with 'facts'!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Money might be close. North couldn't compete.

Who is the Eagles CEO now Davies has left?

No one yet, job was in advertised on Saturday 13th in the paper.

Thats a transfer fee for Ainger, Kirk, Mackeznie and Carey (All this counts in the Salary cap)! Impressive effort

Who is the acting CEO then?

Sorry to burst your bubble but transfer fees do not count in the Salary Cap. And, the transfer fees for Ainger and Carey as worked out by the SANFL points system come in very cheaply I have been told which makes a mockery of the system and our Club isnt happy (as Bunton would know.) Ainger 10 and Carey 5. Although I hate we didn't do more to sign them it is wrong that they are that cheap just because they're from interstate and haven't played in the SANFL comp for long.

[Bunton]

Eagles president, a copper, to take over as new CEO?

Nathan Batsanis is leaving Norwood and returning home to Port Melbourne and his family.

Nathan Batsanis is leaving Norwood and returning home to Port Melbourne and his family.

That's a blow for Norwood, I thought he had a great year and was a super pick up. Will give one of the talented lads in the 2's more oportunities now though.

Maybe he wasn't happy coming 349th in the b&f count

[SDK]

Exactly my thoughts Big Phil we have a lot of young players who are ready to step up plus we have Bryce Campbell to fit back into the mid field.
Loved having Batsy with us this year but maybe he has had a whisper early regarding the draft and I wish him well.

Obviously a 'sook' then...

May not either. I think we will be chasing another recruit to fill his shoes especially with the transfer fee we will get for him

[Mark_Beswick]

Apparently we dont get transfer fee back to the VFL > its one way traffic as I understand it - I was told this by a west official > I hope he was wrong BUT if he isnt and I doubt he is - WHO THE HELL AGREED TO THAT

addendum - the only time it works back in our favour is if a player returns to the VFL still under a playing contract with an sanfl club (This applies to Batsanis and Tippet and others...)

Some interesting lines in that article including:

"Ten of my best mates are from Port Melbourne. It was pretty hard to leave in the first place but a few AFL clubs said to me if I wanted to get another crack I should go over there and see what happens."

That is a pretty good endorsement of the SANFL vs VFL.

Bryce Cambell will be like a new recruit too.
