I heard some news today from Bob Fulton himself (not directly to me), that we will be VERY happy with who has "already" signed with us moving forward.

He also re-affirmed that Barrett is a fantastic coach, who was extremely unlucky this year.

So there is that, I suppose. Just a matter of "when" we will hear about it.

Are there more Fulton's not on the payroll yet?

Margaret Fulton? Zorba's personal chef

 

[eggson]

Must be someone who's still playing finals. Is taumalololol free?

 

[WESTIE]

Sorry Ryan....your rumour just doesn't have that cafe quality feel about it...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Moley ( not that he knows much) reckons we have offered Gillette, $600k for two years and $700k for the next two years , $2.6 Million.

Far and away the biggest offer.

If he stays with the Donkeys, he'd sacrifice almost a Million dollars.

It's a business these days he'd be mad to knock that back.

Dean Whare, Blake Green, Matt Gillet, Akuila Uate, Shaun Lane.

I'd be pretty happy if all those came true!

Yep add those to the existing team and we'd be much much stronger in 2017.

 

[Andrew..]

Everyone seems very keen on Whare but hasn't he spent a large portion of his career injured ?

I would think the 3rd party would get him close up there?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I would think the 3rd party would get him close up there?

You would think so BUT, Hunt / Milford would demand substantial upgrades, and are due in 2018, so the 3rd party is more likely to go to them than others.

The Donkeys have quite a few good forwards in the reserves , we might be surprised although I agree hard to see him leaving.

However, I have a few contacts from my days doing work with them and know they are worried , very in fact!!

 

[Loaded dog]

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that Zorba isn't on the list of the departed.

The bloke hangs around longer than a fart in an elevator.

Hmmmm, been there, done that! (The elevator thing, that is...)

 

[Loaded dog]

Actually, I'd like to see Noel Cleal come back. Maybe then, the "franchise" (cant call it a club) might recruit some talent at the right time?

I still have my old mate Crusher on speed dial , we go back a long way and I know he still feels strong ties to the club ( although as he told me after defecting " it's all a business these days").

Well, Mark, Do it! Make it happen! Please?

(You hold the future of the maroon and white hoops in your tiny hands) Use this power wisely mark! Did you know that Donald Trump has small hands?

 

[Chuck]

AND, I forgot Feleti Potato, so that's 20 players this year, 15 last for a total of THIRTY FIVE!!

Of which at least 20 aren't even first grade material.

This year they have been, it's all we've had at times!!

Guess we will have lots of Bkacktown players in 2017!

 

[tookey]

Tony Williams

 

[Chuck]

Of the 17 on this list (19 inc Symonds and Mateo) only 1 would make the starting lineup for any side currently in the finals.

Lyon.

The rest are a non-issue.

 

[bob dylan]

I reckon Gillett has signed with us. Have thought this for over a month.
