The last players this good to leave were Gazza and buddy , it took millions extra to prize them away .
If we re to believe what we hear , it's 500k diff over 6y

That's **** all when you re earning 000'000s unless you hate the joint

Norf fans are idiots but I can't help but to feel less and less confident now.
Because more and more people are adding 2 + 2 and getting 5?

There is no doubt that as time goes by there will be more talk of him leaving but right from the start both Dusty and Carr said end of season. Everyone talks about Danger leaving Crows and linking it to Dusty's situation but no-one mentions Cloke waiting until late September before re-signing with the Pies because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Lets say it happened, it wouldn't be like he was going to a contender, actually he would be going to a contender..............................................













a contender for the wooden spoon.

norf fan just said that dusty might push their members tally to 50k.

I said "woah, bit of an overreaction there. Dusty is a gun but I doubt he will get you 49k new members"

Mod asked me to leave so thats enough trolling for me :p
See that's actually funny....

It is simply a case of mathematics. We all agree he is a $1 million a year player. The 20% cap increase pushes his value out to $1.2 million a year, which is I believe close to what we have offered him.

To dislodge him from Punt Road, someone would have to offer a ridiculous figure which we won't possibly match.

I say a club will need to offer $1.6-1.7 million a year to interest him enough to get him to leave. He aint leaving us because a rival club offered him $100-200K more.

I reckon Carr has a figure around $1.4-1.5 million a year to stay at Richmond.

I value him $1.2 million/5 years. I am comfortable with paying overs $1.3/6 years.

I'm not sure how our on-field performance in the remaining games will influence his decision, if at all. Win a few finals and he may be content we are on the right track. Win the premiership, and I really couldn't care less what any of our players do contract wise, as I will go on a months long bender from which I may never truly sober up.

I might wait for someone who has posted more than 80 times to order me out. I'm not being a prick, just read your abusive post about me.
You can go quietly or i can send you on your way, either way don't let the door hit you on the way out

I have a suggested rule change for the brownlow
- Suspension only disqualifies polling after the suspension date.
In that way if Danger has enough points already he can win. Likewise for Dusty if he is rubbed out next week.
After all they are the best and fairest that season before they are suspended.
Yeah, nah.
It's the 'fairest and best' for the season.
Imagine if the winner did a Barry Hall in the last round and punched someone out.

Difference is that if the Pies had their time again they probably would have let him go
