Toast Dawes has signed

[donnie5]

Massive relief he signed on! We've done a fantastic job so far with signing our key players this season. Pendlebury, Swan, Thomas, Dawes and Davis so far.

 

[Ed D]

Probably just about the biggest show of loyalty AFL wide in recent times. Great news!

 

[blaze036]

Well done Dawess!!!!! Anyone else up for "DAAAAWWWWESSSSS" as the new call?

According to that Video Dawes has signed for 200k-250k where else he could got 500k so he has taken a 300k Pay Cut.

Just love when you have that type of player on your list

Video up on Pies Web-Site with Dawes saying he has Offically Signed

Im sure he will be looked after Collingwood once his career is over. Players need to understand go where the money is and you will play your years as a nobody and be left with nothing. Players who have retired from Collingwood recently have been EXTREMELY well looked after or gotten jobs elsewhere after playing at the biggest club in australia...

Buckley - Coach
Licca - Easy job working on CTV (sure his getting paid well)
Rocca - Coach
Obree - Coach at Gold Coast
Lokyer - VFL Coach

ect.

Im sure players like Dale thomas will work with collingwood and be paid well a long time after there playing days. Im sure this is part of the reason they stayed with us

Mate Dawes doesn't need a gig with Collingwood after he retires from footbally. He'll be a fully fledged barrister within a matter of years and laughing his way to the bank.

He has the life, that's for sure - pro footballer now, lawyer later.

I'm with Ed D, biggest show of loyalty in the entire AFL in recent times.

Love the friendship between him and Clokey aswell.

So many little one percenters too aswell as his strength work.

2 Years seem the Normal Length of Contract that the Pies Give

It also puts him out of reach of the GWS uncontracted player window.

Most players won't sign longer then 2 years now it seems, at just about any club, which is understandable really.

Well that is Thanks to Free Agency Coming in

 

[danielnajdek]

Swanny signed for 3 years earlier this year.

But yeh it's usually the 2 years

 

[blaze036]

My love from Dawes was only at a high level towards the end of the season (thats pretty low) but now its skyrocketed. Teach a thing or two to toovey mate, what an amazing pick up.

Anyone else reckon clubs (mainly collingwood) will be climbing over each other to get this guy as a forward coach?

How can somone be so perfect... in all facets of life

 

[blaze036]

Swanny signed for a 4 year deal. A few GWS boys are on 4-5 year deals. and gc too

 

[TheFreshBanana]

4? Heard it was 1....

 

[mattys123]

4? Heard it was 1....

Nah, Pendles was one.

Swans was till the end of 2014, so that's a 4 year deal.
