You sound like one of those climate change soothsayers that shot their load a tad early in the quest for some attention.
It has already proven to be one of the best deals in the history of AFL.
Even if the remainder of his contract was put up for sale right now we'd have a stampede of epic proportions.
There is no drawcard like Bud. There is noone that has the ability to put bums on seats or memberships in the kitty like Bud.
Already his annual contractual payments look like something for an A- midfielder that grow on trees.
He scared the s**t out of teams at two clubs, and in his twighlight years he only need park himself near the square and suck in the best defenders. We might even make him peel the half time oranges and he'd still be a presence.
He cannot possibly have any regrets. He had already won a flag or two, Colemans, AA's, basically everything a KPF can do. These days he's shacked up happy as larry with Miss Universe Australia in a 10mill shanty in paradise city. Earns good coin, gets the best gear, has an easy training schedule designed for longevity, and can look forward to a life most only dream about.
Thats the difference between Sydney and s**t mobs like Essendon. We take calculated risks with player contracts and live with our decisions good or bad, rather than deliberately risking the players health by pumping experimental toxins into their bloodstream just to see what the phuk might happen.
