SEN reporting that GWS football Manager Jason McCartney
is having a good old bleat about draftee contracts being too short at only two years because, shockingly, after two years some players have a market value greater than an initial draftee contract. Who'da thunk that could ever happen?
I sympathise.
If only it were possible for Clubs to recognise early that a kid was a bit special, and having prudently set money aside to offer them a new and better contract before the old one expired.
That way they wouldn't have to pump all their money into lifetime contracts on big coin for over rated "stars" who have so far distinguished themselves primarily by their failure to get the job done.
