Not sure about your sources of information, When we recruited him from Geelong, the deal was reported as $1m over 4 years (ie $250k a year) and even that caused an uproar that we were overpaying because he was on the Cats' rookie list at the time, earning next to nothing.
And where do you get your information about the deal that the Swans offered. Most reports indicate the Swans never really made him an offer. And now we have some idea of why.Comment

Sorry but you are wrong. We have to give something to the Hawks as he is a Restricted free Agent. The Hawks can make an offer and if not successful then the league decide the compensation Hawks will get. The same applies to GWS in the Mummy deal. We can offer him an altermative deal but if he turns us down we have the right to compensation. But both Hawks and Swans should not hold their collective breaths as the compensation so far has been pretty feeble.

The deal that was offered him was $600,000/yr over 3 years but he turned it down as he wanted a 4 year contract according to Melbourne Journos. This has been on the news for a while on SEN in MelbourneComment

I think you are completely incorrect on these matters. In the unlikely event that Hawthorn match the offer, we have already said that we will not up the ante and he will stay at Hawthorn. As a restricted free agent, the compensation to the Hawks is made by the AFL, not the Swans.
As for Mummy, we could always offer him a contract, but if he wants to go to GWS they can get him through the PSD pick 1, and we would get nothing for him. We can hope for something by doing a trade, but GWS has all the cards, except the one that says that they may want to remain on good trading terms with the Swans. As Mummy is not a free agent, there is no AFL compensation for the Swans.Comment

Ludwig, do you know if "match the offer' means pre COLA (which logically it should) or post the add-on of COLA? That is, could Hawthorn keep Buddy paying less in total than the Swans' offer with the difference being the COLA which is not paid in Melbourne?Comment

Good on Mummy for getting a good deal at GWS. I certainly don't have any issues there with him. He gave us a great 4 years service, including playing as part of a Premiership team. Can't fault his committment to the cause, and I hope he does well (except for when playing against us) for GWS."You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."Comment

This will make us look pretty silly if for whatever reason the Franklin deal doesnt go through.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

TWR saying Mumford will be on at 10:40 am.
They then bagged the Swans for not giving him a contract and being disrespectful of what he did for the Swans
If the Swans advertised that they were only giving Mummy 2 years then this would have been a red flag to everyone else that he had a possible serious problem.Last edited by BillyRayCypress; 3 October 2013, 09:55 AM.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
