Contract: Unrestricted Free Agent 2026
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 28, mcgrath_truther

And thats not a reason

Unless we can put on the indigenous extra player spot

A much needed list spot esp for East coast sides.

Ganes based trigger for 4th year, you have got to be kidding me

Jesus Adrian

Stop playing him now please

No one else wanted him and he still game him a games trigger - as bad as giving Parish the additional year.
Dodoro was the biggest moron in the history of morons - not only that, he actually thinks he was hard done by being pushed out lol

I always find games-based triggers to be an odd thing to have in a contract. An agreement by two parties where one party has the power to entirely manipulate the outcome. If the club wants to keep him, they'll select him and he'll meet the trigger. If they don't want to keep him, they won't select him.

What is the point of the trigger? Is it actually a hook for the club rather than the player? If the club likes him they play him every week and he's stuck in another year of a contract? I don't see how a games-based trigger benefits the player at all.

I worry Scott will get desperate and pull the trigger. Wonder the number of games to get an extra year

scott has spent the season finding whatever reasons he can not to play Gresham and he has probably been unlucky not to play more games, to the point that today it was nguyen trying to crumb a goal with 10 minutes to go to keep us in the game to.

so I dunno know, at the moment Scott seems more desperate not to play Gresham, to the point that it arguably helped cost him a win today

The bloke could'nt get a kick in a stampede, I don't understand how he's become Leigh Matthews to some in here all of a sudden.

 

[Saddlemanbags]

The difference maker. Money ball move by Brad to bring this guy in for "our" crucial game, expect 8 possessions and him to goal hang for the last three quarters.

 

[Donflicted]

Whispers that he will explore the market as we don't want to trigger his extension of 800k I think the club are possibly eying him to go on the indigenous list spot that the AFL will be opening up for each team

Classic Essington if true.

You can’t have both of those things. You either value him and respect him and pay him in line with what you offered him which is either the 800k or a longer extension at less money per year. And put him in that list spot.

Or you just waive him and let him go and use that list spot on someone else who helps progress things forward.

Think he is out the door regardless

Could get a third rounder for him i think

This has been true for 8 months.

If there was any taker out of the 17 last October, he'd be wearing a different jumper.

Just passing it on

I doubt he is here next year regardless

Didn’t seem to work out here and doesn’t suit the list build at present so I wouldn’t be too worried about getting anything more then an open list spot.

Has been a good VFL player and probably plays some good footy somewhere next season

Agreed

So far i have imo these players gone

Tsatas McMahon Guelfi Gresh Cox Setterfield who are out of contract

Trade wise i have Merrett and Ridley

So i believe we would have 8 spots but we would have to factor in Martin coming back from LTI so thats 7 then if our MSD gets extended we would be at 6

UFA

 

[Donflicted]

UFA

oh well a free list spot is better then nothing

 

[eth-dog]

Best case scenario he goes to say, Sydney, who will want to avoid impacting Amartey compo (as an example) and trade us a F3

would add McKay and Redman to the Goodbye list. Probably Perkins too.

Weirdly could see them keeping setters/cox if they stay healthy

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I could give some esoteric dissertation on his game but putting it succinctly; this dood is so shit.

 

[naraku]

I've said this more than once but I don't want to see him play senior's for us again.

I think Scott knows it isn't good long term but gets desperate hoping for the decent game out of every 12 he plays. We really can't have this guy next year possibly on 700-800k chewing up a spot.

oh of course not. I would have just paid him out last year, I don't see why that would have been a problem. the sheer thought of him hitting the contract trigger is horrifying

 

[ant555]

Enjoy the VFL for the rest of the year.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

There has to be at least 20 guys running around the VFL that are better and offer more. Grab one in the MSD and improve the list.

Offer him a redundancy.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Enjoy the VFL for the rest of the year.

There’s gonna be at least 4, maybe 5 forced changes next week. I think the cupboard is probably a bit bare for dropping guys just to avoid a games trigger

I would rather play one short.
