Prediction STAYING or GOING the Matt Suckling debate

[Mitchell54]

Why would any club do a trade when you can get them on FA? You're dreaming if you think it would be anything but that. Likely a second or third round pick as compensation.

2nd round Compensation is the catagory he will fall into. unlikely first or third rounder IMO.

The worm is wriggling off to a far greener compost bin.

 

[Brant]

What would his new deal have to be worth for us to receive 1st Rnd Compensation?

If Buddy goes for $10m over 9 years & compensation for that is Pick 19, my guess is that Suckers should get us a pick in the late 400's...

So long as that bin isn't a teal/Aqua kind of green. Is it?

If the Ellis/Young compo's are any gauge, then we'll get SFA....However, VLAD has since departed, so hopefully a just outcome will prevail....The AFL owe us big time on this score.

 

[eldorado]

I reckon he's more likely going than staying...that's just based on the vibe, of course

 

[wallyt99]

After that kick - gone.

 

[Taskmaster]

He can piss off.

 

[spotthedot]

another putrid effort tonite...absolute waste of space

 

[spotthedot]

Bury Sydney and your knockers tomorrow night Suckers!

Love Great 2008

[Great 2008]

I am afraid you are right.

Suckers has been great for the Hawks, but if his piss poor year is due to wanting more $$ after the Hawks persisted with his injury prone start to the year and stuck with him when the ACL occurred it is a disgrace..

You're not suggesting he's playing poorly as some form of ransom on his contract, are you?

Doesn't seem like the smartest way to do business...

"You see these turnovers? Sign me up and you can get 3 more years of this s**t!"

It's not a disgrace, it's the way of the AFL nowdays
Players have MUCH more say in where they play
In some cases it's good for a club (attracting players), and in some cases it's bad for a club (losing players)

How could you possibly construe that from that comment? Some blokes can't handle the contract pressure, that's all.

 

[Rushed_Behind]

If he hasn't signed by the byes he's gone.

I think some blokes owe the club they're at with some loyalty.

A club like Carlton would have booted him after 2 years based on his poor form and injuries... Yeah its a new day and age, but they club pays their wage and Hawthorn have always looked after him.

The problem is moron managers get in their ears.. 450k over 3 years vs 350k over 3 at Hawthorn but your career might last another 18 months..

Your link between him being poor this year and specifically holding out for more money (allegedly), along with calling the situation a "disgrace" just came across that way when I read it. You could've just said he might be being distracted by his contract negotiations.

 

[The Kipster]

If nobody looked at him last year then why in the hell would anyone look at him this year, particularly based upon some ordinary form?

What are you talking about?

He'd be B&F at Carlton.

Because he is a free agent this year obviously

 

[MrPremiership]

Langford/Hartung haven't re-singed either, but I don't see the pitchforks on them.

They're not unrestricted FAs. Which is beside the point anyway, most people are on his back because he is in the side to provide one specific service and often this year he has failed to deliver that when it matters most.

As far as I'm concerned if he wants to chase the dollars at years end then fine. But until then he should be expected to play his role consistently well or be dropped.

He may be free agent, so is Colin Sylvia does that make it more enticing?
