Yeah but Leon stuck with him there until he grew into the position. Now he has expect him to be there for a while. He always looked like an AFL player but took a while to b find his spot.He's best 22 at them moment, but really only cemented his spot in the side mid last year from memory.
Those on the fringes will be the targets.I reckon you guys will sign all your guns, they're not stupid they can see that there are premierships in this group. It'll be the younger, highly rated players you might struggle to keep like Hopper and Kennedy but time will tell.
Is Adam Treloar stupid? Taylor Adams? Tom Boyd? I agree with you that it will mainly be younger players on the fringes, but even with their starting 22 players, Giants can't afford to play all of them top dollar.I reckon you guys will sign all your guns, they're not stupid they can see that there are premierships in this group.

We havent been. A few have been taking unders by all reports.Is Adam Treloar stupid? Taylor Adams? Tom Boyd? I agree with you that it will mainly be younger players on the fringes, but even with their starting 22 players, Giants can't afford to play all of them top dollar.

Usually the media. Stating big money offers then all of a sudden they re-sign with us.What reports?

Where are the reports saying they're taking unders? Post them.Usually the media. Stating big money offers then all of a sudden they re-sign with us.
For instance Cameron with Adelaide and Sheil with Richmond.
There was one about Lobb with freo as well.

You have google.Where are the reports saying they're taking unders? Post them.
So you make a dubious claim, and when people ask you to prove it, you tell THEM to use google? You're a troll, worthless.You have google.
You can either believe them or go on the tin foil hat no cap thing. Your choice.

Hardly.So you make a dubious claim, and when people ask you to prove it, you tell THEM to use google? You're a troll, worthless.
You keep saying "reported" without actually citing the reports. That's all I ever asked for, and neither you, not the General Giant troll could provide a single one. Everything you just said has no substance.Cameron was reported to be offered $1.2m a year from Adelaide. He was reported to have re-signed with GWS for $750k-800k.
Shiel was reported to be offered $800k+ from Richmond and maybe others. He was reported to have re-signed with GWS at around the $600k mark.
Treloar got a huge offer from Collingwood for substantially more than GWS offered (allegedly both were around the Shiel figures) and took it.
Patton reportedly had a huge deal on offer from the Dogs. He re-signed with GWS, though details of his contract weren't as widely reported.
Similar reports, though without figures, on Lobb and Smith and probably others that I can't stretch my brain to. If you don't want to believe it, that's your prerogative but it doesn't change the fact of the matter. Resorting to name calling is just sad.
Verify your facts first then. You don't have them.Hardly.
I typed what i was told. You wanted to question it as you believe the foil hat theories. Not my problem.
Name calling? How sad.

Your choice if you dont believe me.You keep saying "reported" without actually citing the reports. That's all I ever asked for and neither you, not the General Giant troll could provide a single one. Everything you just said has 0 substance.
Hypothetically, if Shiel were worth somewhere around 700k p/y right now, then 500k would be unders and 1 million would be overs. There is 0 evidence of any players accepting unders to stay at the club; players like Shiel and Patton were only accepting fair offers. In Patton's case, if you did your research, you'll find he tore his ACL while the Dogs offer was on the table.
The reality is, you can only fit so many players on 600-700k+ in the salary cap, and by process of elimination, there will always be one left to take the lesser offer. This is almost certainly what happened with Treloar: he's on record saying he wanted to stay at the Giants and be a part of their success, but as they continued to re-sign their players, he became the last one left, received a significantly better offer from Collingwood, and proceeded to move in the forthcoming trade period.
Verify your facts first then. You don't have them.
I don't, and you're doing a terrible job trying to justify your position.Your choice if you dont believe me.
Dont care really. Its what was reported.
Still name calling? Let me guess. This isnt your 1st account here.

Meh your choice.I don't, and you're doing a terrible job trying to justify your position.
It wasn't reported, as you're not even able to cite those reports.
You're a troll because you make crap up.

Condescending much?So yeah, ol mate frosty is being a total ass.
But i think the point he's successfully butchering is that the gws guys are knocking back 'overs' offers and re-signing... sure.
But they're not exactly being charitable and playing for less than they are objectively worth.
Like say how the cats starts re-signed for less money to stay together after their flags... or how luke hodge is playing for 350k this year etc.
THAT is re-signing for unders.
And that definition of 'unders' is not what the giants guys are doing.
Condescending much?
They are playing for us for less than what they can and would get else where.
Thats unders in every definition of the term.

I think "objectively worth" is the problem. I'm not sure what it means, there are very few definitive facts in contract values that are confidential.Steady on.
I'm playing devil's advocate here trying to make sense of frostys ramblings.
Gws re-signing blokes on money they are objectively worth isn't something you need to get so defensive about
