Umm, over the course of the contract we are paying buddy as much as the Hawks were offering, how are we ******?
Who cares if he finishes his career on the side line? It basically hasn't cost us a cent more than any other team was happy to pay.
He just wanted out of the whinging whining Hawks to be at the red and white.

It's basically the exact opposite of Luke Ball's deal. Very little for Buddy in the first couple of years, but if he just hangs around for 5 years, he can 'retire' and pull the full value from his remaining owed amount
You'll be paying for a guy that isn't there, entirely over a single year in an amount that might actually be your entire salary cap for a season. How is that even defensible? It's self sabotage of the kind that Brisbane dabbled in briefly. It'll drive away your established players, and root your list for a generation
For what? To add an unnecessary piece, to a forward line that was already broken, after you brought in a name for no reason AFTER you'd cracked the puzzle of how to win a flag without big forwards
You're now a setup gag, sitting out for 5 years waiting for the punch line. I hope the AFL doesn't save you from yourselves
