Whatever riddens are.

Oh well there you go then. Nothing like a good unfounded stereotype to score points with.

Pisstake is fine, but your comment about 1st generation supporters only shows your ignorance.

Of course your club was an exemplar of ethics in that saga.

I’d say he has regrets coming to Sydney f’sure
7 contested marks and 4 goals in a prelim in a losing team against Hawthorn is not something anyone on here who's shitting on him would have gotten within 1000 miles of doing, and he was good enough to kick 4 in another prelim as well.
Kicked 55 goals one year (at just 22yo), while also averaging 10 hitouts per game!- and kicked 325 goals in total- and in another season averaged 24 hitouts and a goal a game.
Kicked 44 goals in another season, while also averaging 17 hitouts.
Took 50 contested marks another year (only 4 took more than that this year), while also kicking 39 goals, and took over 40 contested marks in 3 more seasons.
Some very good seasons of footy right there and some top performances on very big stages.
Was overpaid in his latter years, based on output, but given the fact he kicked 55 and 46 goals in his 2nd and 3rd seasons of playing seniors, he was probably underpaid for them. Possibly by a lot.
Chances are part of the reason he's retiring now is so that Sydney don't have to pay him a big chunk of coin for this year, too, that he doesn't feel he deserves.
A very long way from a bad career and it's no surprise that someone of 202cm and 100kg+ struggled playing with a bung ankle in his last 18 months.

Not likely to help this year, but should free up half a million pa the following years with the cba injury clause.

It's not a good sign that you have to point individual games where a million dollar player player well.
The guy was a dud in my book

We should be allowed to sign blanket up 12 months early to mitigate the loss of tippett
I'm guessing it's a negotiated amount. Otherwise he could just turn up and hang out in the medical room for a full payday. This way he gets paid out a percentage but can go live his life as he sees fit immediately.
The finish line for the COLA advantage arrives just as the academy is bearing magnificent fruit.
Well done AFL. Not a beat was missed.
Would you like more salt with that?

They don’t have to pay him but what difference does that make given it comes off the cap?

Keep back dooring clubs with your AFL hand outs. I wouldn't stress the AFL will probably make a rule allowing Sydney free access to any key forward.
I believe the actual payout will be negotiated for this year but actual salary is counted towards cap until 2020. This was discussed when Buddy signed the 9 year deal.

I see him having an enduring career propping a door open somewhere....
This just reinforces the belief that the big fella could never play with injury, whereas some guys can still compete on a premiership winning level despite carrying fractured vertebrae or torn ankle ligaments.
Played his best football in Adelaide, where he used to give Brian Lake nightmares.
To be fair it’s not like he would’ve won one last year either if he stayed

I thought he was out injured that year?
I guess the lack of impacts on games makes the years bleed into each other.

Can we pls not turn this into yet another Richmond thread? The endorphins have just about blown out all of my synapses.
