Wouldn't have thought that was much of a rocket F&C, all I can say is you have no idea on this matter.
Valley in a bit of trouble with some key players leaving? Atleast 3 bonafide A graders, 1 that would take up multiple MV topline player payments as well as a couple long time servants, more to follow I believe. Do you expect to improve next year?
OK Snappa - think you will find I do have some idea. Yes we have had some players leaving - McKenzie has gone to Plympton which I am sure will please many on this forum and there have been some retirements. Heard a former HV B grade coach now coaching in the South East offering big money again and Strathalbyn doing their annual begging to Jonny Eagleton so will see where that ends up. Doubt we will be bothering the clearance page but deep pockets can be attractive We have also picked up a few and looks like we may have a few of our juniors heading back to the Valley - couple of these currently playing A grade at other SFL clubs. So yes we will be competitive Name a club that isnt belt tightening Dutchy in these economic times. This hasnt affected player budget though
Think you will find this statement has as much FACT as your comments about NPG and MVFC.
I'm sure the truth will come out in due time as to where he is playing but my advice would be to back slowly out of the conversation to avoid further embarrassment F&C.

I wasn't talking about BC front and centre , he was always going round again at MV, think you will find another HV coach who unbelievably is for 2015 "now no longer required at the football club" was the person I was alluding too that got NPG to HVFC.
Regarding PETO, it's not onlyl about the money for him - SUCCESS has always driven the bloke! Good luck to him if he is actually back in the SFL - CAN PLAY!
Losing Macca / johhnny would be massive! and may be the start of a little slide down the ladder for the Taylor's road boys, picking up Marion blokes and paying them $$ tends to lean that way.

Ohh well time will tell.
The bloke you are referring to hasnt been told he is no longer required - applied for A grade job ONLY and didnt get it. Didnt apply for other coaching jobs so he cant complain.
Yeah Jonny and Macka would be massive losses but are both going?
Dunno anyone that has said we are paying Marion blokes

although BC would love to see NPG at the emus mail is he will be heading to the riverland with another past short lived HV forward for a bag of oranges a game

Keep telling yourself that ZC - maybe he just found a club with deeper pockets that were willing to take them both.
F&C, you may have a firm grasp of what may be going on in your own backyard, but clearly are way out of your depth when it comes to GUESSING about what happens elsewhere. Do us a favour and don't embarrass yourself anymore.

I dont think he's an orphan in the guessing of what other clubs pay.

Axle have a struck a nerve? Are you able to categorically deny that no one at MV were in discussions with NPG?
You led everyone to believe that he was signed at MVFC and signed at a larger rate than I KNOW we would be prepared to pay.
As a club, who is in need of just a few extra elements to bring ultimate success, it would be careless not to talk to a player of his quality if he's available. Pretty sure this still doesn't mean we are going to **** over the loyal players at our club who aren't demanding huge payments to get him in.
If he asked for what we were happy to pay and wanted to come to MVFC then he would be there. As it stands currently both of these price points didn't match up.
If just talking to a player means they are automatically signed for $$$$$$$$$$$$$'s then I had a chat to Lewis Johnston last weekend, expect to see him in the Red and Black next year.

You may be pretty sure but I can tell you there are people at your club who were talking to him about $ and it wasnt small change Sadly for the SFL looks like the lure of even bigger $ has taken another talented player away from this league

who?
Panozzo played 194 SANFL games for both Glenelg and Sturt. I believe he retired at the end of 2014. Very strong defender, but no spring chicken, he would be about 32. Good get for Morphies if his body holds up.
