Almost a bit Kevin Durant esque in those options.

500k because he enjoys the 'lifestyle' which also happens to include a 25 acre farm for the steep price of $18 and a packet of twisties
'I love it here': Lions star not fazed by contract delay
Out-of-contract Lion Hugh McCluggage has a long-term offer from Brisbane in front of him, as well as extensive interest from Victorian clubs

To me, that reads unless Brisbane can match the offers he has on the table he’s gone.'I love it here': Lions star not fazed by contract delay

31 touches and a goal yesterday
Averaging 27 touches a game this year
Has done well to maximise any contract this year

Nonsense
27 disposals (10 contested), 5 clearances and 1 goal every second game is not elite. He is not the best user either and does not have athletic traits to break away from a stoppage like others do.
He's a workhorse.
None of this is correct.
Sure it is.
You act as if Hugh is a young gun with plenty of improvement still to come.
Never won a B&F, never been an All Australian and like I said, you'd be stupid to pay overs for him. Bit like Josh Dunkley in my opinion.

Would be the Cats best mid by a long way.
He certainly would be but that does not imply he is a million dollar per season midfielder.
I wanted Darcy Parish last year and I would say McCluggage is in the same category as that. They would fit our needs perfectly.
Davies-Uniacke though . . . he's a midfielder worthy of coughing up overs for. They are 'elite' talent.
How many B&F and All Australians has LDU got? He will be a RFA next year so just a year or so younger.
LDU v Hugh
Just imagine if LDU had the luxury of playing in a quality side such as Brisbane's. He'd be putting up ridiculously good numbers on a weekly basis.
Just want to say that I love them both.
Ahh the classic chestnut: good player in bad team is suddenly great player in good team. But here is the just as valid alternative hypothesis:
LDU is north's no.1 clearance player, however in a good team he might get less of the ball with more midfield competition or even rotate through a different non mid position. So he suddenly is statistically down on his numbers and looks like a worse player.
Just use your eyes mate.
They are two different animals. Davies-Uniacke is on a another level to McCluggage.
I'm not saying McCluggage is a plodder but he's not one of the premier mids in the game and he never will be.

Even if it were true (it isn't) people need to accept what new contracts will look like in the new CBA. His next deal, whether it is with Brissy or not will at a minimum average out to $850k-$900k a year, and that is being conservative.

youve pretty clearly never watched mccluggage
for midfielders he would be one of the best ball users in his cohort. had the second most goal assists of all players last year.
as for the comparison to LDU, they are completely different. mccluggage is much closer to a merrett / josh kelly than ldu.
LDU is much more comparable to Neale, a player youve gone on record before as being incredibly overrated on this forum in the past. considering neale's accolades and achievements outweigh LDU's by orders of magnitude its bizarre you come in here to post that LDU is the type of player you sell the farm for.
just rubbish analysis as usual from you
Neale and LDU are not comparable at all.
They amass big numbers but are completely different types. For starters. one player is 6ft'2 and the other 5ft'9. One can explode from the stoppage and create their own space.
Wardlaw is much closer to Neale by comparison.
It's laughable to even put McCluggage in the same sentence as Zach Merrett. Merrett's one of the top 5 best users of the football in the competition and always has been.
He's elite in every sense of the word and been carrying the team on his back in a similar fashion to what we have seen from Cripps and you have the nerve to tell me I've never watched McCluggage play

You forgot the $400k job being the assistant to the assistant talent development manager for the local Geelong Times newspaper.
