By playing hard ball on Kite, all Glenroy will achieve is ensure that no future ex AFL or high profile players will go to Glenroy. Everyone knows Kite could have got significantly more $ had he wanted it but signed with Glenroy and stayed for 4 years, even whilst others deserted them. I never thought much of him as a footballer but I reckon he has served his dues at Glenroy and if he now wants to leave Glenroy should thank him for his time and send him on his way.... and if they have any bad blood simply make sure he earns his first kick when they play Doutta.
Hey Itsallaboutme,
I do agree with most of what you have said however clubs have an obligation to stand their ground on contracts, otherwise it will happen again and again. If it's correct he signed a contract with Glenroy in October and then agreed to go to EDS in February this has made the situation worse..
What if Glenroy decided to go after someone like Shylo Smith and offer him a deal to good to refuse. Would they clear him to Glenroy this week?? This could go around & around mate.
I not in the know but i would be interested to hear if EDS has offered Glenroy any compensation?
Also we need to consider that Ronaldson also wants to go.. Wow it's does appear EDS are looking to bully Glenroy, so they are well obliged to stand there ground.
I'm guessing compensation would be around 3k for Kite alone..
