Goddard

[Gus Poyet]

Smart move by the Saints. Way too much for a utility player.

 

[MarkT2]

When do Saints find out the compo?

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

St Kilda offered him 1.9 million over 3 years. Essendon apparently offered him 2.9 million over 4 years.

~1/12th of Essendons salary cap for the next 4 years.

 

[Rack Watts]

~1/12th of Essendons salary cap for the next 4 years.

Monfries going, Mcveigh gone, Hurley is signed up for all of those years, Watson isn't going anywhere, Heppel is signed up for 3 of those.
Who cares?

 

[clobba]

Havent seen where it said we were chasing him as hard as your mob were, and im guessing we offered him less than your lot. But then i guess we could offer him a chance at a flag and you guys cant. Shows he is after the cash rather than success

Have you got a time machine at the cattery now?

When do Saints find out the compo?

End of trade week, after Saints have made any moves etc.

So we've let him go for a question mark, if you were curious.

It wont be 725k for all 4 years.

 

[Groupie_]

Too much money for a player that will be 28 in May

 

[Groupie_]

and a 4 year deal too... Oh my

 

[Gavin Excell]

Many players take less than market odds to stay with their club. Certain Collingwood and Geelong players over last few years come to mind.

Interesting.

End of Free Agency actually (a week before the end of the trade period).

This allows them to do something with any compensation picks they get (for example, trading a mid first rounder compensation pick to Gold Coast for Caddy).

Richmond have reportedly offered a 4 year to Chaplin who 27 in February. Just as likely to backfire imo.

We aren't paying him 800k per season though

It doesn't matter who is coming or going.

$8,870,000 x 4 = $35,120,000

$35,120,000/$2,900,000 = 12.11

Neither are we. Haters gonna hate. Chaplin is very cute get for you guys though.

It makes sense. Your always going to have to pay a player more to leave a club they are happy at.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

love it now seeing who says he's not worth it.

Interestingly, the same ones who always seem to parrot that Essendon never land a big fish

 

[Groupie_]

Neither are we.

Bullshit

Chaplin will be on less than half of what Goddard is on

Yeah, like Ablett!

Other than Cloke (and still, it's hard to say what contract he ended up with and what he would have been offered elsewhere) this theory has not really been tested. It's the first year of FA.

3 years for chris knights LOL.

Poor mans Goddard.

you get what you pay for

 

[TommyJay]

Goddard could be AA next season or could be a flop. As a neutral who doesn't overly care about St Kilda, Essendon or Goddard, I'm pretty curious to see how this one pans out.

Will Saints now offer their compensation pick for Caddy and if so, is it more enticing than Geelong's compo pick?

What compo pick does Geelong have? I would love for the Saints to use their compo pick on Caddy if possible, and from everything I've heard, the Saints seem keen to. Seems to me that they'll be even more likely to go for someone like Caddy after losing Goddard.

 

[Groupie_]

Poor mans Goddard.

Again, he will also be on less than half of what Goddard is on

The changes in the TPP are as follows:
2011 - $8.21 million per club (final year of current agreement)
2012 - $8.787 million per club (7 percent increase)
2013 - $9.139 million per club (5 percent increase)
2014 - $9.632 million per club (5.4 percent increase)
2015 - $9.92 million per club (3 percent increase)
2016 - $10.2 million per club (3 percent increase)

Try again Euler.
