Rumour Guess who's coming home?

[Two Planks]

Good point
It does tarnish him, doesn't it? It's like watching him through grease-covered spectacles

I think in his defence, he witnessed his dad who was the greatest player of all time finish his career without a great future financially.

That's very true. I guess we will never really know what went on in his mind.
I do feel sad when I think of what could've been- then wonder what the team would look like if he had stayed.

True, but footy has changed significantly since then and Gazza Jnr was always going to be well rewarded.

How much is enough?

Thats true , and it probably has had a role in his attitude to pain medication but really , the money he has already earned...he should already be set for life.

I dunno. Ask Gina Rinehart, Harry Triguboff, Frank Lowy, James Packer and Ivan Glasenberg.

Depends on how you want to live

Yeah, point taken. When you live that close to the edge, well, you just can't be sure

True, but I reckon most people want to keep their soul.

No, but honest.

and to put things in perspective, it wasn't so long ago that the only answer I wanted to this question was 'my daughter'.

There's never enough for people motivated by the dollar.

Pickers just said on off the bench Ablett is about to sign with GC, wont be far away.

He also said Tom Boyd loved Sydney life and was in no hurry to leave.

Good. I'm quite happy for them to be burdened with his $1m salary and bung shoulder for the next 3 years.

next up will be Dangerfield's re-signing.

The people on here attacking his character mercilessly over his decision to double his money. You're pathetic. If YOU had someone offer you an extra $ 700,000 a year for 5 years to do the same job you're currently doing - I honestly don't think any of you would say no to it. In fact you'd take great pride telling anyone who'd listen that you're so good at what you do that you been head hunted and offered extra! Yet here you are - you bunch of filthy hypocrites- potting a man you've most likely never even had a conversation with. It's actually pathetic.

While I respect your right to that opinion, I don't respect the vicious tone of this post.

For some, money ISN'T everything.

It doesn't buy health, happiness, make friends or replace lost family members.

No one is saying he's a bad person, he took the cash, good on him. Doesn't mean we have to treat the guy like a saint. He's clearly motivated by the $$$, he chose to leave the club. Now if he can continue to pilfer the Suns another $3mil then all the power to him, but I'd be dirty if the Cats were willing to break the piggy bank to bring him back for whatever strange reason they are thinking.

That should close a few threads, don't you think?

Lots of money versus Premierships and lots (but slightly less) money.

i agree it doesnt. But honestly man. its been almost 5 years. And the vitriol and hate directed toward a family that have given far more to this club and in fact the community of Geelong than any of us will EVER give. Its disgraceful. And the biggest sin here i the people who so hypcritically slam him, yet if even you, who clearly has a great grasp of the importance of life - if even you were offered $700,000 a year for five years to do the same job but at a different place, i would bet london to a brick you'd take it. I would. We all would. And finally, if he chose to take a pay cut and come back, by round 5 all the flogs on here potting him would be "claiming and loving" him again.

not lightly less. about 3.5 million less. And he has other family members that he actually has helped and continues to help financially. Im betting you'd jump ship for 3.5 million extra.
