Clubs need to manage the potential exits of players well whether in finals contention or not; Carlton need spirit restored; the Tigers learn from losses and a place in history for Tony Ongarello. | OPINION by Peter Ryan
You don’t have to put your signature on a contract to have your name on a premiership flag.
Melbourne have not been perfect in handling Jackson’s year with frustration sometime obvious but they got it right this weekend after Angus Brayshaw re-signed when they called off all talks and discussion about Jackson until the flag is decided one way or another. Just as interesting as the finals contenders are those out of contention, with the Giants having to be cool and calculating in their dealingsTim Taranto is in demand.
Entitled to expect a player plays with intensity until the end of their contract they can’t expect any more or less than that. Injuries to Corey Durdin and Nic Newman did not help, but they were unbalanced and once again too much was left to too few as they missed tackles and missed targets. The Crows’ confidence was high by the time Silvagni entered the game as the medical sub.
