Player Watch Brayden Maynard

[Capital Magpie]

I wouldn't mind this to be honest. grundy as well. That's what i call a rebuild.

 

[frizzle]

Lol what, forgive me for being confused of how you came to this

your guess is as good as mine.

It is a good point, none of Maynard, Grundy, Moore or Jordy DG will play in a flag with us so we might as well get what we can for them.

Certainly open up our cap

Heart and soul player - him and Tay are the living core of this team.

Not sure that bigfooty speculation from an anonymous poster is 100% reliable salary information

We know from Treloar that we weren't shy about pushing a bloke's salary back into later years. He could very well have a big payday coming, due to us having made a shambles of the cap but trying to keep the list together, it wouldn't surprise if they'd asked him to defer payments from one year and push them later.

Completely different roles.

I don’t know about that! People keep trying to link Grundy to the Crows

The other three are no chance.

I’m happy to back it in! I doubt he’s on less than $6-700k in 2022 factoring in that he was a core player, entering his prime, signed pre-Covid, when we were mid premiership run, knowing we were back ending deals like crazy and factoring in the Beams deal.

I’d guess he was on minimum chips for a player of his quality in 2020 building into decent money this year and outrageous money next year once we had Pendles dialing it back and had ridden out the worst of Cox’s contract.

The scary one for me is that Steele is probably owed about $1.5m over 2022-23.

A few on here stating that Maynard would be an RFA come the end of next year, but would his $$ not be based on the latest contract he would have signed? Last article I read had him on $400K per year to take him to free agency.

Tom’s Take: Collingwood lock in young gun until 2022

Great news for the Magpies with the club locking in a young star to a long-term deal, Tom Browne has all the details plus the latest on Brodie Grundy's contract negotiations.

7news.com.au

Surely this would have him in the Unrestricted Free Agency bracket?

When it comes to Collingwood players signed under Ned Guy we need to expect worst case scenario, IMO. On that basis I’d suggest that the key part to that article from 2019 was that he was under contract at the time so most likely owed a lot of money in 2020.

I think the devil in the detail here was that the extension was 2 x $400k, but it was likely on top of $600k (or thereabouts) initially owed to him in 2020. Basically in order to accomodate other deals the new deal took him from $600k in 2020 to $300k in 2020, $400k in 2021 and $700k in 2022 or something along those lines. Basically he goes from being owed $600k for one year to being owed $1.4m over three.

I personally doubt he’ll be a UFA, but we’ll finish bottom three in 2022 so I don’t think it matters because any acquiring team will pay him enough for band 1 and we’d just take that.

Too late, set in concrete now.

 

[Spuddd]

I'm sick of people calling Maynard a 'heart and soul' player.

If the rumours are true and he has sounded out or at least had discussions with Melbourne (or any other club for that matter), his heart and soul aint at Collingwood.

Don't think there is any hesitation on re-signing him from the Pies top brass...

 

[jackcass]

I see four assertions, all true, but not one saying he is staying. From that I would conclude that his future in uncertain.

Why would he make a definitive statement about something beyond his control, over 12 months before it even becomes an issue?

 

[jackcass]

And Carlton are getting crucified for paying that much for half back flankers.

Nah, they’re getting crucified because they’re perennial under-achievers, nothing to do with what they’re paying their HBFs.

 

[Spuddd]

No - i think you'll find there is a lot of conjecture for what they're paying Martin, Saad and Williams who are all flankers.

Saad in particular vs what could have been gained for free in Hind.
Williams vs his output and professionalism
Martin vs his output

All of these have been discussed throughout the year across multiple media avenues. Its more than their underperforming.

 

[jackcass]

Billy’s Back talking a lot of sense!

If Maynard can’t break into the midfield next year like he wants too, then $500-600k max is his range.

Is he a RFA at the end of 2022?

Why would a transition into the midfield substantially increase his potential earnings? Do people think Crisp will get a big pay rise off his midfield exposure this year? Do people assume he’d be pushing AA or Copeland or high Brownlow finishes if he moves?

Not disputing that there’s conjecture about what they’re paying players they’ve lured to the club via trade and FA, just as there is about their drafting. What I am disputing is whether it’s the primary reason they’re being crucified by supporters and media. I don’t think it is. Certainly not what I’m hearing.

 

[Billys Back]

Nah, they’re getting crucified because they’re perennial under-achievers, nothing to do with what they’re paying their HBFs.

But these half backs were supposed to help them challenge and go the next level. Midfielders far more important.

 

[mike123]

The Blues offered him $750kpa with a longer contract.

Because of Malthouse

 

[Billys Back]

I think a top midfielder is worth more than a top HBF. As a HBF he shouldn’t be able to command $800kpa. However, if he was a top midfielder (comparable to the best midfielders in the comp), then $800kpa could be the number

Williams recruited as a midfielder.

I’m confused why this is a topic?

I agree, but there’s no guarantee Maynard will ever be a “top midfielder”. I don’t doubt he’d be useful in there, anything more than that is just hoping for the best case scenario.
