I'm particularly interested in the front-loading of Neale's contract. The same thing happened when Carlton traded Gibbs to the Crows.
The player has an inflated pay packet in the first couple of years and then cuts & runs when the annual rate drops only to get the inflated rate at the new club..
Surely this is an area that needs further discussion and the possibility of a "payback" rule being introduced.
It's already happened with Neale when he was at Freo moving to Brisbane.
