Gas retires / Retirment of big name tiger SEN @ 1:45

[the_boy_jake]

“His highly competitive nature, courage and negating ability are both admired and revered as he took on the best AFL goalscorers, week in and week out for 14 seasons.

I think they missplet 'negotiating'.

How much did we give him in '01?

LMAO.

Gas has just become a father of twins last week and then his place of employment decides to cut him, dont know how people on this website would  cope getting the stuff in similar circumstances.

If it was my last year there and I was being paid out, I'd cope just fine.

Not sure how being cut now or last year changes this. If Gas was cut at the end of last year it would have occurred at the time Sara would have just found out she was expecting and they wouldn't have any further income coming in just at the time they needed it to buy all the stuff they needed for the babies. Granted it's still tough but at least now they have income coming in for this year still.

he's like an exterior tumor - cut it off and move on.

Hey MT, being on the veterans list means that half of his salary is not included in the cap

That's what I said 

$150,000 is no laughing matter

$150k is less than others are getting. At least Gas got onto the park  .

More to this than meets the eye

Exactly spot on as per usual Jackstar.
This aint the end of it and a good chance of more to follow.
The Tiger board will be meeting next week to consider some major decisions regarding its onfield operations.
Brace yourselves.

Just as we're finally making the right decisions regarding the future of our playing list  ???

There is a major rift within the club that must be resolved MT and hopefully it will be taken care of soon.

if u mean that the senior players are once again,in their brains,running the placethen I cant wait for the axe to swing.

See ya Joel

It is major! 

[Tigertailz]

I assume this may resolve around Millers role???

Playing more kids,Gas gone,Tiv,Krak and P BO at Coburg ,Millers role possibly reduced..

The good news keeps rolling in 

Now if only we could win a game

Your assumption is in the right direction Harry:thumbsup

Stay tuned Ox.....

[mightytiges]

Switched on now. Just read my phone messages  . As far as I'm concerned at least the right decisions are now being made.

Thanks to Moi too for the word for word summary of what Gas said today   .

[Bulluss]

Let me start by saying that it is fantastic that the club has finally chosen a future direction and is moving full steam ahead with the development of our youth.

I am sure that some people here will find it amusing but i agree with Jack, Gas shouldnt have been signed up but in saying that it it is a decision made in hindsight especially considering the development of McGuane.

It is however disappointing that a LIFE MEMBER of our footy club has been treated like this. Sure he is an average player at best these days. Surely he deserves better than that, i think he does anyway.

You cant argue that he didnt deserve to be all australian coz back then he was one of if not the best full back going around. Over the last few years, he is dropped off pretty badly which is a shame and it is for the best that he moves on.

The strange thing about this is that we have taken the direction 5 rounds in to the season. Terry's view of our playing list couldnt be any different to what it was 2 months ago.

So why do we start playing the kids all of a sudden out of the blue?

Something has happened behind the scenes for them to make such a drastic change like this. I would love to know what it is.

TigerTailz may hold that information, if you do send me a pm  

Anyway, thanks for the memories Gas. You probably went on a little too long but it happens.

Well done.

yes a p.m would be nice but i won't hold my breath...

look jack, tigertailz, everyone

I am not a miller man, nor am I wallet man, they are both fricken mercenaries as far as I am concerned. I am a richmond man, as far as that goes, I just hope and wish that the right decisions are made for the tigers long term . I am more confident of this now, than I have been in 25 years.

Blaisee out.

PS you know that I love you jack 

[Ramps]

I have no concern with Wallace coz hes gonna coach us for the next 2 1/2  years atleast but Greg Miller needs to resign from the board and open up his position on the board to someone else who can come in and be a possible replacement president.

[Life goes on]

Might just add its a terrible way to treat a life member.
Hate to see what they do to an ordinary player
