No problem for me Freez. Strnadica or Eardley - nothing less. No "steak knives" thanks but a "carving knife" might be handy.
As for transfer fee only the maximum would do if a player swap is not on.
But it is all fairy tale stuff - it wont happen and we shall all live happily ever after.

All will be revealed soon enough I guess....but happy to refund you boys the maximum fee we got for Masten...kind of think Masten going to Perth might work in favour of EF come end of the day, when the arbitrator makes their decision....if I was EF I would be show casing the credentials of both players and which club has the player.....with the greater experience and more impressive footy CV ...

Yep, that certainly could be on, if he nominates. On the other hand he may have decided to call it quits on AFL. Possibly sick of travelling and wants to move on to a new phase in his life.
Just saying.....

Think you'll be alright there - he will be with you for all of 2020 don't worry about that.

Don't think any amount of steak knives thrown in is going to help in satisfying them here mate - perhaps with all the hurt going on the arbitrator could throw in a discount voucher to Terry White or Soul Pattinson and give them the satisfaction/relief they need.

DD...considering Leggett has played no AFL games or even been on an AFL list how is Boekhorst a like for like swap?...EF should only pay Perth half tsf fee they received for Masten....and that's being farking generous....

Lol considering Boekhorst is a few years older than Leggett and already suffered a season ending injury in round one in his first game for your club I’d consider we are taking in a risk. Wiley probably played a part getting him to EF with his Carlton links so this deal might be on the cards but I can understand you not wanting to give up someone that might be like for like value. You don’t gain anything. You only interested in a deal where EF gain and Perth lose.

DD, right there is the crux of the matter. These EF guys are no way interested in a win/win result after all their bleating about having to be prepared to give if you wish to receive.
Who was that great Greek physician and philosopher? Oh, that is right, it was Hippocrates.

Freeze, a contract is not "a form of loyalty." It is a legally binding document. Look it up.

McGowan played for NF last season and dominated. Will be handy.
