What did everyone expect to happen? That 5m sign on bonus at current landscape is for two people, Daicos and NAS.

Ablett left Geelong, no reason to think Nick wouldn’t do the same. Money talks and this is a once in a career opportunity to obtain some large cash.

I think the main reason is that they are two different people.

$3m is $1.5 in his hand. Yes, it’s a nice sum, but for a bloke with the earning capacity of Naicos, it isn’t “once in a career” cash.

Nick cares more about sporting achievements and legacy than money is my feeling.

He has also spoken a bit to GAJ over the years regarding dealing with tags etc. I would bet GAJ will tell him not to do it.

There’s a serious argument that GAJ missed out on GOAT status by going to the Gold Coast and if it’s in play I don’t think Nick would let that opportunity slide.

Its not impossible, but Collingwood will do everything it can to hold onto Nick. They would offer 3 Million a year if they have to.

This is a very different scenario to Ablett for Nick. He’ll be contracted while the sign on bonus is active requiring a trade and in that second year they’ll have access to only their natural 1st along with 5 and 9. The sort of deal they’d need to put together would likely start at their 2028 1st and both their 28 and 29 picks 5 and 9. I can’t see it compared to say Rowell and NWM who both fall out of contract in 2027. I think St Kilda would want to be contending…

I'm confused.

Isn't Nick signed until the end of 2029? Therefore, Tasmania would be in the league for a full 2 seasons before he out of contract. Doubt they are going to bide their time waiting until 2030 to have him, they would want to start with a bang in 2028 and will sign best availale.

Also, Tasmania isnt Gold Coast, its not gonna give you the lifestyle that South-East Qld affords you.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Tassie will just end up using their sign on bonus on Ryley Sanders.

 

[frizzle]

I want my picks back and I want David GOD DAMN Putney, just because I feel like it.

You’ve gone rouge

It makes sense that they’d try and use it as a genuine lure on players who don’t have generational earning capacity like Nick. Just not sure a bigger bag of cash would work

 

[yeah man]

I expect Tassie to use the entirety of their sign on bonus to bring Rory Atkins

You misspelled Colby McCercher? That one is really going to sting North!

 

[Doc1763]

These blokes need to STFU

why? do you think Tassie haven't already thought about making an offer like that to Nick?

 

[MooreDaicos]

This is getting way out of hand
Tassie won’t even agree to a stadium and we want pick 5?

It'll get built, it's just a few being stupid.

Is Nick the only young star in the game?

Anyway, I find almost all the AFL media a pack of dumb arses.

 

[MooreDaicos]

I don’t think Hobart is cool enough for our Mr. Darcy.

It's not even cool for me, I'm in a small town in the middle, where the people are normal.

 

[Kirby]

They keep using Nick as an example as he is the best player in the game and is only 22. It's a compliment.

We are kissed on the piebeast to have him.

 

[MooreDaicos]

Bet he’d love Dark Mofo & all the hiking

Not if art is cutting the throat of a cow.

Nick is exactly the type of player the AFL would want in Tassie. just like they wanted ablett at the Suns.
we will have to make sure he is locked away and happy when they come calling. and come they will.

Why would he want Bucks as a coach?
