Game of Sloane (THE OFFICIAL HE IS STAYING thread) Thread now closed

[GROTTO]

I really can’t see De Goey leaving Collingwood. Sure he might get a bit more cash elsewhere, but if he remains at Collingwood, there’s little doubt he’d be well looked after once his career finished. Unless there’s off field issues at Collingwood that haven’t already been brought to light, I just can’t see it happening, I just think he’s trying to eek every cent out of Collingwood.

Hawthorn I think are the sleeping giant this FA period, starting to play some reasonable footy this year with a seasoned successful coach who’s not going to want to go through a genuine rebuild. Probably not too many on their list commanding massive money.

My understanding is that the Pies can "only" offer him around $800k or less. Given his off field issues, its been discussed that the Pies couldnt even consider offering anything close to NM deal.

Compared to the NM deal, thats about $1m less over 5 years.

 

[GROTTO]

It would not surprise me if we matched at all, the issue is, whether it’s worth the risk of matching and not being able to make a genuine deal, vs likely a top 10 pick pending where we finish.

With Danger, we were looking at a pick >15 and dealing with one potential suiter and a club likely to be reasonable in negotiations. With Sloane the waters are a little muddier. If we don’t think we’ll get band 1 for him, I suspect we’ll force a trade, but if it’s band 1, I think we’d probably rather bank the pick and move on.

Also depends if we’re bringing in any free agents too.

Is the band 1 pick straight after our 1st rounder or at the end of the first round?

 

[pjcrows]

$5m for De Goey?

I'd rather have a reputation for lowballing than being that f*cking ridiculous.

After our first

Imagine how many Mackays we would get for $5m?

After our first

Hmmm now the penny drops as to how we can go about getting Luko with the 1st pick by trading our two 1sts with Carlton.

Bullshit.

We could field an entire SANFL team.

The correct answer is 2.5. Rounding up is just insulting.

So north offer a B grade player 1 million a season and they still say no? Lol north

My conspiracy theory mind says that it was all a ploy to drive up de Goey's price to make it harder for the Pies to fit Lynch in, who is really who North are targeting as a Jarrad Waite replacement.

Little doubt it’s related to contract signing. Last minute drama is text book. But if North think that making themselves look like fools again and failing to land another massive player is going to actually help them sign Lynch, they are dumber than I thought.

Not a bad ploy....

DeGoey apparently getting 700x2 years
Compared with 1million x5 years

He better hope he doesn’t get injured or go through a form slump. 3.5million is a lot to leave behind

Has something been announced?

$700K pa is still overs, but he probably feels he owes the club after it has stood by him.

Nixon right on the money. I've been saying this since I started on BF.

 

[Crowked]

You watch Collingwood keep DeGoey and all their other stars, while adding a cheap second rate player named Tom Lynch.

VFL.

Well he would know as he used to facilitate many of these deals.

You only have to look at the players on the NAB and Swisse ads and the clubs they come from. I don't think they've ever had a player from an SA or WA club on a Swisse commercial.

Then you've got ambassadorial roles, gigs on Fox Footy, etc.

JDG perhaps having trouble spelling his name

Too hard basket for the afl this one
