    Can't just tell someone to pack your bags and be on the next stage coach out of town.

    Things take time - agents maybe talking to the club now about an exit strategy. It has to be negotiated with PFA input probably.

    When it's done we hear "mutually agreed".

    They choose not to take it so despite Stubbins being responsible for signing him for 2 years it is Millertime whom is ALLOWING him to stay here for the second year collect his cash and take up a squad spot where the club could pay him out and free up a squad spot to use
    And then we can all chastise the club for being unprofessional, unloyal, a basketcase, why would anyone want to come here when we don't honour contracts etc etc...

    As usual, you and everyone else on this forum, myself included, has **** all idea what is happening behind the scenes.

    ah a salary cap debate Q&A style. Just needs an outraged audience ready to cry out about some welfare issue on east african ants, poor buggers.

    salary cap only works for a few teams, the others spend all they want

    As I have said it is still Millertime decision he is collecting his cash with **** all chance of being used

    The bloke has a budget under Ledman
    Just as he had a budget under FFA

    A little bit of creativity either last season or this season with our signings could have seen some of these unwanted players showed the door

    The bloke would have been paid out so the club wouldn't have breached any contract
    The club would still not have spent any extra money.

    Just that an unwanted player would not be hanging around taking up a squad spot that could have been given to someone who has a future here.

    As I said Millertime is responsible for anyone not wanted by him to be still here sucking the mango
    He had options and chose to go other ways

    I mean these blokes on this thread have clearly just cut and pasted the same posts from the Biraz Bk thread except changed the names. Better donuts than Nobbys carpark back in the old days.

    If we'd have signed Steve Lustica then none of this would have happened.

    Middleby asleep the wheel again.

    We'll all find out once the player's salaries are made public. That's happening this season, yeh?

    I know im going to cop alot of sh*t from this, but...

    Why all the hate on Brennan?
    Im with everyone that his performances have been well below par, but how many chances has he had? 4, 5, if that? And about 10-20 mins a pop?
    The blokes highlight reel is something to look at and although he hasnt lit up anything as yet, maybe its worth working with him and giving him some game time. To me, he's rock bottom in confidence, but he's well above Pavicevic.

    BK has been here for however long and he probably struggles to tie his shoelaces!

    Have any of u stepped up in grade and dominated? Id doubt it!
    He's contracted for another year, lets see if he gets some game time and see how he goes, if he doesnt cut it this year, then bag him!

    Everyone on here seens really quick to bag the first player that comes along, no wonder the jets cant get anywhere when no-one is willing to hive them some hope or chance!

    I'm not sure people are hating on him. Most have just made the assumption he's one of three not wanted by the gaffer and are using him as an example of the need to cut players and how difficult it can be.


    And then the issue of the mature age rookie came up.... And that's him.

    Well I'm glad this is finally sorted out because all along I'd incorrectly assumed it was because our players were shit.

    I remember I went to the game in Brisbane, one of the few games he got on.

    I remember Boogaard I think it was, maybe some one else, having to yell out at Brennan and tell him when to make a run, which he still didnt do (It was just a normal wingers run down the line). He looked liked a deer in the headlights when he got near the ball, and he was smiling after we lost.

    I mean Tomo, brother, your fingers hadn't even cooled down from your scorching hot BK take that you've gone straight for the World Vision angle for us not to bag the players.

    I mean, which players are getting bagged? ones like BK?

    seriously theres an edit button down the bottom you've gotta check that stuff and liquid paper out the terrible bits.

    cheers,
    Plague.

    I think that's Tomo's point.

    I can't be arsed looking, but did he get some playing time in either of the games against CCM?

    If you can get down to training sometime, you can watch all players run around for 30+ minutes. More than enough time to make an informed judgement.

    I understand not everyone can do this due to work etc.

    That one session we watched while recording the player interviews, Brennan looked really good. As did Mitch Cooper. The "second" team were destroying the firsts on that occasion.

    Heyy you bastards, this bastard believes that the jets are crap because we bag every player out. pretty sure the losses come first then the usual inquisition begins. btw ffa mangement are the first we look at, then our own, then the players, then bk, then mfks, then the crowd, bastards like me on foz, then mid strength pss, then jets shaped hats, then gav & furns over positive relationship, then club colours, then....
