Lodged the clearance for Matt, wondering if they've gone after the younger sibling or not.
I assume Ware, Thompson x2 and Holm are all 3pts, Birchmore would be the final link in the chain?
They want him, he wants to play with his brother, if mallala have to clear him (unsure of that rule) then he will be gone!
Clubs generally end up having to clear a player if he wants to play in another association (at last resort via tribunal), but there is no obligation to clear a player when shifting between clubs in the same league.

So in other words.... Mallala ain't going to clear him then SD?

I guess thats a decision for the club. But, for now, my understanding is the club hasn't been told that he wants to leave. Thus, it is a hypothetical that hopefully remains just that. If he decides he wants to leave then I'm sure Mallala will do all they can to change his mind - within reason. He's a great player who will continue to get better - it would be a shame for him not to fulfil his potential.

So the clearance isn't a good enough indication that he wants to leave or are United doing a Virginia an just lodging clearances in hope they will be accepted?

Read the posts. The discussion was about Jake, not Matthew.

Why wouldn't he be fulfilling is full potential if he went to long plains SD? He Wants to play with his brother. That may bring the best out of his footy, going back to the basics of just enjoying footy!

It may well do. Crewy will get the best out of them both I'm sure.
Any Twowellians know if Lee has been training? Wouldnt mind coming out to see what's coming into fashion this season, any little throwovers that i should have my eye on.
Don’t quote this or hold this to myself, but talking to a certain Hamley person this morning at work in Hamley, Quote (I think we may be holding a special meeting soon to decide our future due too only 5/6 players attending training, coach not being happy) surely every club struggles for players at training this time of year, find this hard to believe but after recent events (no money from concert and hearing big money still to be paid) the league couldn’t afford Hamley leaving. Maybe someone from Hamley can enlighten the situation
