AFL Player 27: Mason Redman 🐕 - Goes whack

[Lore]

Contract Status: Free Agent 2028
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 24, ghostdog

 

[andleanback]

To be clear, I’d much rather we keep Mason.

Anyway, we got pick 10 for Saad. I reckon that’s about right for Reddog too.

Well technically 6 or 7 wasn’t it

10 after FA and bidding

Nice to know that isn't true.

That's a lot of security. Hard to say no. Fingers crossed he stays but could understand if he doesn't.

It's McClure. I don't think he's gotten anything from Essendon right ever. It'll be crap.

He got Derp to Sydney right...

Oh shit

I reckon he’s 47/53 to leave now.

 

[TheGrizz]

Do you not say that about every journo?

 

[ant555]

Nice to know that isn't true.

It is most likely true in the same way a few other clubs will likely have 4 or 5 year deals on offer as well. Not sure how you can say club has an offer in is false news. Everyone knows they are interested. The only part that has been BS in the media from what I hear is the money on offer. It is more likely to in the $650k range. I doubt this story is wrong.

Free agents are after 5-6 year deals these days. 4 year deals are a thing of the past, or what the b grade free agents get

Thread title updated.

 

[eth-dog]

Do you not say that about every journo?

Nope. Only him, Ralph, Barrett and Stevens.

Caro is pretty accurate as much as I hate saying that, Browne gets more right than wrong for us, Dan Cherny gets good mail for us and obviously Twomey gets the good mail for us too.

But sure. I say it about every journo. Not 4 of them.

I'd love to keep Redman, I think he could be VC.. I think we are a better team with him in it and when he has a bad day.. the team has a bad day.

However, I still think you can't break the bank or rip a hole in your entire list management for any one guy.. and particularly not a guy that is not even in the top 3 of his position in the league.

I hope, for once, we actually go about this the right way. It seems by all reports that the group is happy, they are happy with the coach, the believe success is coming.. now the evidence will be having these guys sign on to relatively 'team friendly' deals.

I also think that if Redman does go.. we do have other options to play his position.

Ok, not literally every time. But you still overuse it and it’s lame.

I have definitely seen you say the same thing about Sam Edmunds and Jay Clark as well, off the top of my head.

So you can take it literally if you want, or accept that it's a throw away line you probably overuse.

Has he gotten anything right about Adelaide?

Honest question as the news could just as easily be coming from their camp.

 

[andleanback]

He got the preseason camp story right….

Doesn’t even get what account he is posting to right.

Well his story was retracted when they got sued for defamation so

I've definitely seen Ethan post that stance on journo's that he's posted above so maybe you're recollections are from awhile ago and he's moved past it.

That's great

Like everyone I love redman back we can’t break the bank just to keep him.

Half back flankers don’t win you flags, I’d prefer the first round pick and cap space.

We don't really need the cap space as it stands.

 

[DeezNuts]

We don't really need the cap space as it stands.

But we’re talking about potential 6 year deals

Who knows what our cap situation looks like in 18 months time let alone 5 years from now
