If Jacobs finishes 3rd in our B&F next year does he deserve a 4 year deal at $450k No and neither did Greenwood.

Our offer mid year was fair based on his 7 years at the club.

Some people play for premierships others play for the money.
And I play with my knob. :stern look

There can be only one...
Interesting , same dilemma we faced with white, peaked in his 8th year with us , no way known were we prepared to offer 1m over 3 years. I suspect your people viewed this case the same way, 74 games in 7 years not generally grounds to go offering a 4 yr term, glad we didn't do it. Good luck
White is still horribly over-rated, does a few good things now and then but those quarters and halves Port is doing nothing, White is leading the do-nothing charge.

Instead you give Higgins 1.6 mil over 4 years?
Yeah sucks to be us..

Wish we were Sydney so we can go and spend 10 mill on whoever the **** we want...

Piss off & drink ya COLA, we're just fine with our Pepsi Max!!

It is no difference to Hale and McIntosh being squeezed out. His influence waned somewhat late in the year once Swallow and the other midfielders returned, I am not 100% how much was shit coaching or how much was the structure not favoring him any longer.

I don't have the patience nor the stomach to venture over to the Pies board but does anyone know what their fans expect they should trade to get him?

he should've taken the 'fair' deal, not the highest one, right?

We really don't have leverage with Collingwood we have to take what we are given unfortunately
With the Bullies and Tigers in the wings yes we do.

Easy to go to Levi with the Pies only view you at pick 35, im sure you understand we cant accept that, time to consider the other options.

General consensus is a pick in the mid to late 20's, depends what we have at the time.
Any suggestions who we could get with pick 15? It would have to net us someone miles better than that millionaire Levi Greenwood.

I know players that wear blue n white are worth less than those in black n white, im really hoping the same isnt true for draft picks.

That's some shit general consensus. No offence.
Haha none taken, I have no idea what he's worth (hence why i'm here :p ). I do tend to rate known qualities higher then unknown, so if Greenwood was likely to be a walk up start in our best 22 for the next 5 years I would have no problem giving up a pick in the high 20's for him. What do you think he's worth?

We've got a plethora of inside mids. Hence Higgins has more value to us to meet a need. As a RFA extra salary is the price we pay for not having to trade.

Losing Beams and Ball, Greenwood has a lot more value to the Pies than he does to us.

Wot?

Don't come in here on your hired horse and go speaking sense.

Shaun "Missy" Higgins is always injured even though he's played 97 of the last 132 games available.

Missy had 408 disposals in his 20 twenty games this past season. A mere 5 disposals per game less than the Leviathan who played as a full time mid.

I'm not fussed, concerned or give a shit that he's gone, am confident we'll get decent compensation and move on real quick.

Also think some else will come second in our B&F next season, just a feeling I have.

You're paying him 400k a year for the next four years, and he'll slot seamlessly into your midfield rotation and give you immediate production of roughly 20-25 touches a game and intense physical pressure around the football. He's harder than a cat's head and refuses to take a backwards step.

He's worth a pick between 10 and 20.

a lot of animosity here towards a player for making a sensible professional decision. have people forgotten that we are the club that poached a series of players under the 10 year rule many a moon ago?
What has been lost in that was we were the only team to vote against the 10 year rule.

Can you judge a player on one season ? If the answer is yes Mid to high 20's IMO
Before this year un-tradable .. Again IMO
