He won’t, but that’s a pretty big if

Because the delta isn’t that high. It’s only lower tier players and young blokes on majority match payments, more senior players can demand more of their salary in base Plus clubs set aside some buffer in cap for match payments and the variation

I don’t think you have. Bottom line, no serious person can think he’s improved his disposal. And if you think he wasn’t subbed for his disposal against Geelong, then I don’t think you really watched the game Anyway, I’m done with this silly argument

I’d think about it long and hard

Moral of the story, ignore Tom Lynch https://www.afl.com.au/news/364784

OK. We don’t know his contract and how much is made up in fixed and match day payments. In that scenario above, that’s 30K not earned, which is gross before tax. He’s probably 15-18K out of pocket net I’d fine him 40K which he has to pay and donate to a relevant charity I don’t really...

McCluggage would be that change of pace we don’t have

Also re: Finlayson - his contract structure matters, his match payment component might not even be very much. The balance between fixed, guaranteed salary and variable match payments varies player to player

Im saying an even larger fine, no match day suspension, and the money goes somewhere useful As it is, it’s just unpaid salary which boosts Ports salary cap. Seems a bit weird the club should benefit

I don’t think games suspension makes any sense. Transfer money from his pocket to a worthy cause

6th in B&F suggests he hasn’t gone unnoticed

Where’s the money gone? It’s just unpaid salary that has boosted Port’s salary cap, in fact those 3 games they’re not paying him is unused space they can roll over to next year.

A bad day? Nothings changed, but they’ve improved How about about a simpler explanation, they haven’t Nothing. Because he’s the same player he always was You made that up. His disposal is a major reason, as is his cement hands and lack of pace. Low impact to possession is another He’s...

No wonder your hands are clean 🤣🤣

Personally I don’t agree. I don’t think he should have missed any games A more appropriate sanction would’ve been a large, and painful fine that hits him where it hurts - in the pocket The funds to be donated to a relevant cause/charity

I’m not totally sure you have the currency to pull that off

Hope he’s ok. Anyone know him otherwise?

All those suspensions didn’t add a lot of team value!

That’s not a useful way to look at it People over estimate their ability to analyse probability. A Bayesian look would consider what the real expected probability of a hand is, versus what we assume it is to fit our pre-disposition The question is do we make more good picks than other teams...

I’m saying he’s barely played since his disposal was a big problem What has changed in those handful of minutes?

He looks a good pickup doesn’t he? Meanwhile Keays is being chased around by ball, he can’t escape it and McHenry can’t find it

Look at this, most recent game against Carlton and the same can be seen against Melbourne He runs far, he runs fast for longer, he runs far at full filt The man covers ground and covers it fast. Shouldn’t that result in the occasional possession though?

Not sure they can. Every match he runs further, and faster for longer than anyone else. That he then isn’t able to be where the ball is, well, that’s not great

I more curious about the big $$ win and the awful wine he drank with it

Has he? His disposal got him subbed against Geelong, and he hasn’t seen all that much action since

Getting lucky (very) occasionally doesn’t address the criticisms All teams get lucky from time to time

Don’t see it at all. Soligo is a very direct, charge ahead player; he’s not an accumulator
