Graham 75% pay cut

[Shwab]

True story!

Mark Graham has been asked to take a 75% pay cut to play next year. Approx $300,000 down to approx $75000.

This comes from a very reliable Hawthorn source I spoke to today.

Don't know what Graham is going to do though.

I'll take what you say at face value, although it sounds fairly harsh. I thought that if pay cuts were to go through, then they would be of a uniform percentage from each player and I can't see a 75% cut being widely accepted :)

*IF* that rumour is true then it would only be because the board has told Graham "take the cut or you're going out anyway" which I can't see as Graham is still a valuable tall, spoiling defender.
