Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf immediately. Just seems logical

Daz, is your name really Prof Mark? (you can tell me I'm reeely good at secrets)
Randy, we are on good terms but that will change if you persist with silly remarks about my identity. Deal with my counter-argument to scapegoating directly, not via absurd insinuations. I thought we were on the same page about 'arguments' in general: they should be well-grounded not spurious
Are we agreed? A quick mea culpa will suffice
Daz in all respect you solely blame Ando for that? I think it was also about the head of the board too.....and tbh it was 10 yrs back; and he has worked with some decent clubs (Easts). But fair enough.....
Mitchy, thanks for making my point for me! Of course Anderson was part of a system that wasn't working. He was definitely accountable even if not solely responsible.
But that has been my point about scapegoating. Hence why I was surprised Chiefy offered Anderson as a model for a next GM. I was alluding to the absurdity of where scapegoating can lead: a little unhinged 'isolation' of one (MON in this case) breeds an idea of a single change will fix everything. Once the premise of that pseudo fix is accepted - it's all this one bad actor - saviors get offered up who are actually not assessed credibly. I mean just look at the Libs and One Nation attempt to link the housing affordability crisis to immigrants. Scapegoating non-whites won't addressing housing costs. Making speculating on housing the savior just free it from scrutiny. Scapegoating is always bad policy
But this has been my point. We won't get productive change out of scapegoating. We will only get knee jerk savior complex decisions.
Daz, I agree about the premise of your comment and will not comment on the political side for good reason; but suffice to say champ each to their own. I could debate with you all day.
Ando for recruitment would be fine for me as he has been in the system and knows his stuff and he is ex parra which is good; the salary cap drama was years back and in all honesty I would 'assyme' the current board would be hesitant to bring him back.
I have been harping on for a while now, the club should have looked at M Cameron (again ex Parra) to oversee things. He has grown in lengths from being a jr coach.
Mitchy, I thought Anderson was being presented as a GM Fotball, not a talent scout?
PS You cannot say that Matt Cameron should have been looked at....that is an Oxymoron and comparable to the we should have recruited the Cleary's before they left Wests to go Panthers!...... Cameron grown lengths has to be up there as one of the all time great hindsight comments of the modern era!
Sorry Pop's but mabe read what I said....and I appreciate it.
Just imagine if BA had a M Cameron to work with all those years back.....
You know what Mitchy, I cannot even argue that about Cameron, BA for all his results in coaching would not have been a good listener, as I might add were not the Parra people who sent him (Cameron) away?.... but that is a hindsight comment from me, because I was not there, not involved and had not even heard of the man......I will bow to your better judgement based on my lack of knowledge and expertise.....
PS I do know where you are coming from, like I do with Chiefy, PG and the gang, but I have no idea if it is practical and therefore workable.
Remember I am regarded as an apologist for MON but my recent correspondence has been affirming that he needs to go given the credability wash.
One final thing as an apologist for him he is responsible and accountable for our pathways and the coordination of all things Football....my guess he is a pretty busy man and the comment that he doesn't do much, is about as naive as the guy that wrote that in a post!
Mitchy, as long as you agree with the premise of my comment, then I doubt we disagree fundamentally about either the role, responsibility and accountability of a GM (whomever they might be), or about immigration and housing, which is voldamort on the site!
Reject scapegoating if we want serious change, this is the way
Daz, I like that comment. It deserves a beer, my shout champ.
