Jamal Fogarty

So he's "gutted" to be leaving Canberra but it's purely a business decision. So he's not chosen Manly because he wants to play here and he's coming for the money only. Yep as I said a few weeks ago this will be a waste of money. We won't be getting his committed best and it'll be more of the same results. We could've saved half that money for a young half and spent it on a decent #8 or #9 or #12 , #13.

Jamal will give 100% for us when he gets here. But not before he gives Canberra 100% this year. He is a good signing mate. You'll see.

Which young half who would take $350K is a proven first grader? (But if you want to say why did we not keep Jamie Humphreys, and before him Cade Cust - I would agree, we shot ourselves in both feet with lousy retention decisions).

I was looking at the club website for an official announcement but couldn't find it...

Does anyone know if we have signed Matt Orford?

**** off Mal, who cares what you think

I was about to post exactly the same, when I spied your reply. Well said.

He’s a professional. Be very surprised if he doesn’t turn up every week. Plenty of players have changed clubs for money and still delivered.

He’ll be great for the club on and off the field. He’s old-school. You won’t see him pulling that DCE crap.

Jamal Fogarty is a solid signing,in my opinion anyway. The Milk are playing good footy and I've noticed his performances.

That's basically what DCE was on.. 1 player..yes a good player but not worth 2 spots..
He's basically won nothing whilst he was at the helm
The premiership he won was off the back of an already established team of champions.
I would be happy to handing over 1.2/ 1.3 mill a season to DCE if he delivered at least 2 premierships over his 15 seasons as our main man.. he hasn't
And that as our Halfback, organiser and captain was his job!

So technically he failed. End of story

Show me on the doll where he hurt you.

How you twist what I wrote to this. Move on.

I think the seibs mestrov combo have identified some time back our BIG 3 take up too much cap considering the ROI
DCE first cab off the rack and replaced
tom vocal about accepting less $$$
Jake and tom downgrades expected

I dont think they were too fussed about retaining DCE and played it accordingly.

He knew they were shopping around elsewhere and his ego took a hit
They probably would have signed him for 1 more if they came up empty elsewhere but he wanted to control the narrative which is his prerogative but he acted like he was butt hurt

It really comes down to honest communication and hopefully that transpired. It doesn’t have to be palatable

Often said cherrys 8 year contract and upgraded with 18 months to go was the biggest issue. Just lived in a fantasy world and played like a “career player”amongst a world of contractors .

I reckon Penn has a man crush on DCE and thats why it played out in that way, differing agendas

Possibly very very close to what may have happened.
