Free Agency Jade Gresham [Joins Essendon as RFA]

[Keystone agony]

I doubt it.
Nobody is going to pay him his current wage.

He wont get any less than Band 3

 

[Keystone agony]

Be a good replacement for Smith.

Smiths finish the 2km time trial in 5:50

Whilst Greshams just passed the 1km mark

They both started at the same time

 

[Keystone agony]

From the outside looking in this one puzzles me. Looks like a pretty good AFL player to my eyes.

How much worse is he than Butters and in what areas?

 

[Schulzenfest]

How much worse is he than Butters and in what areas?

A lot, and all of them.

 

[Foxman98]

The ability to kick 40 goals in a year

Neither have kicked 40 goals in a year and Gresham hasn’t kicked 40 combined in the last 3

Hewett's contract is 4 x 450k and got the Swans Band 4 two years ago.
What sort of crazy money is Gresham going to get?

650+.

 

[Stamos]

650+.

Currently, but surely not on his next contract?

 

[botts]

Currently, but surely not on his next contract?

I think so. Hawks and Essendon showing most interest now. Both got heaps of cap space they need to spend

Kicked 35 in his 3rd year

Gresham aint signing for less than 500

It will be a smidge above avg AFL salary over the next 5 years

Hes well above the avg AFL player

 

[Foxman98]

Kicked 35 in his 3rd year

Then why did you say the ability to kick 40 goals?

 

[TylerDurden]

Correct. Have heard we're in discussions.

 

[botts]

Correct. Have heard we're in discussions.

Also heard some shifty discussions to bump up the salary to help us out with better compo. Won’t affect hawks or bombers draft hand. He would be unreal at the hawks.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Wingard replacement.

Well that was in 22 games

You can now play as many as 27 in a year

 

[Atomboy]

Wingard replacement.

Similar style players who Hawks seem to love.

Took Gresham 18 months to get over a similar injury to Wingard’s.

 

[botts]

Been very good last couple of weeks

 

[PoppedCorn]

Nahhh
He hasn't
He showed a flash of what he should be doing regularly

 

[botts]

21 and a goal. Not bad

 

[SSSSSS]

I think he'd suit the Hawks open gamestyle on the G more than he does Lyonball at Marvel.

Natural Wingard/Brockman replacement.

That would be my thought. He wants to play on the mcg. Best footy is still ahead of him

 

[MickG88]

good replacement for Wingard, Sam Mitchell could get the best out of him.

Wingard replacement.

 

[MickG88]

I think that's because he doesn't want to be at the Saints.

Nahhh
