Spike presser

It's nice to hear we had the luxury of being able to rest Dattoli today after what sounds like a successful pre-season so far.

Excellent analysis on trends of the game, focus on playing with speed. Mentions a watch on Swans as potentially a big improver, if we are able to follow the way we played v Lions late last season. Exciting and damaging.

Plan Panic!

Ben Matthews on SEN NOW , talking about praccy

Its a good listen. Not too different to what Spike says in his presser, but gives a bit more away.

Heeney and Gulden our two highest paid last year with both over $1m apparently. They absolutely deserve it.

I’d have thought Grundy deserved as much as Gulden, given the importance of what he does and his irreplacability.

Grundy's contract is tied to what Collingwood gave him several years ago

I thought Grundy's original contract was over a million even though we're not paying all of it. Also would have thought Warner's two years would have cracked the million or gone very close.
It seems that maybe we're overestimating what some of our players are paid.

This report is based on last year so Warner wasn't on $1m+ last year. Grundy is the interesting one, perhaps his contact isn't spread evenly, it may have been front loaded somewhat.

Is there anything he can't do?

You'd be feeling a tad nervous if you were Jake Lloyd.

I thought Mills was far and away our highest paid according to some ITK

I remember hearing that recently too but who really knows

It's all guesswork

 

[bedford]

It's all guesswork

And of course they would talk to managers etc , but it's still guessing and it's just as i always say content to get clicks and some richard craniums get sucked in

 

[Bonz]

I thought Mills was far and away our highest paid according to some ITK

According to Herald Sun Rich list on 700-800k a year.

Just throwing in what I read.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I can't recall anyone saying Mills is our highest paid player what i do recall is a few posters saying he would be ONE of our highest paid players which is likely accurate.

I did say he was , it was either this year or last

I know my source and some do on here

Again I did say that , nothing to hide and doesn’t faze me one bit if called full of shit.

Is what it is

Hopefully he stays on the park because he hasn’t been worth the money imo the last few years

He would be up there so you're probably not that far off certainly his 2021/2022 seasons he was worth every penny.

Not much unfortunately after that, surprised the media haven't raked his contract extension through the coals as they like to do.

Tim Watson on SEN Saying he has talked to someone from Swans and they couldn't believe how well Jai Serong is going. All the forwards are full of praise
