Toast Libba Re-signs

[SayerTheCreator]

Thanks for the text Libba, unfortunately I'm all out of yellow diamonds and white mitsy's but I'm stoked you've signed on for another year.

I suppose if the Bont's manager was really concerned about not getting Marcus his true value in his contract last time around he can always give up some of his commission to make up the loss.

Odds of that happening - 1, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1 (I only stopped typing then because my finger got tired)

Sounds like your assessment of the integrity of player agents is on a par with that of politicians, sports journos, media owners, real estate salesmen, slave traffickers and the AFL.

I've heard the Bont's manager is trying to get the club to retrospectively pay him what he's worth ie. the contract he's on now is unders and the manager is saying the club owes him money because of this... make of that what you will

Never heard anything more ridiculous in my life, which means it is bullshit.

 

[gordo2016]

As stated previously, the Libba contract has clauses in it the club want to remain confidential. The contract is for 2 years. Liberatore will retire when his time at the Bulldogs is up, he is not interested in playing for anyone else.

Who's asking for a lucrative multi year contract?
If you're going to argue with me at least try to vaguely understand my opinion.

Why is the default on this forum to take a post that reads "hey guys I think I farted" and respond "I can't believe you said you took a massive diarrhea dump on the pope's head with the splash back hitting the Dalai Lama!"?

I understand, I was just adding some mayo for affect.

You’re pretty much suggesting that Power should look after Libba just incase he has a blinder season next year and ends up possibly moving clubs for a better offer.
And then criticise Power for not going down this path.
It’s seems like grosse negligence for a list manager to do business this way.

Can you not see it this way a little ?

I could if that was my position but it is not.

It was worded differently but that is exactly your position.

It’s been a long drawn out discussion and the conversation went down that track... no bull

Perhaps the greatest pile of utter bs ever written on this or any other forum.

Apart from being impossible, and against every financial rule of payment I just think you made this up.

Sorry if that offends you but I gotta call it as I see it

 

[immortalmike]

I like the fact that you're arrogant enough to think you know my position better than me.
You know instead of asking for clarification.

A warning to all against any more floggish behaviour on here. Be civil and respectful or don't log on.

 

[TiAn_]

I assume all RedWhite&Blue is saying is that Bont’s manager is asking for the club to look after him because he looked after them with his last deal.

Correct or not, it’s hardly a statement worthy of abuse, particularly in the context of the great torrent of idiocy on this board.

 

[Mofra]

FMD, talk about bringing the vibe down on an upbeat good news thread.

Not one of Libbas last 3 years deserves a lucrative long term contract.

Libba was 4th in the B&F in 2016 and his shut-down job on Kennedy in the 2nd half the the GF was a large reason behind us winning that day.

Yes, Papi

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Not sure on Power yet myself. Made some calls I agree with and others I disagree with. Going to need a bigger body of work to see how big a fan of him I am.

Which of the decisions made by Power do you disagree with?

Genuinely interested to know. I'm not pumping up his tyres massively or anything yet, but I haven't seen a misstep from him to date.

Absolutely, not arguing he’s played well at times over the the last three years but it’s the dominant AA mid of 2013 who deserves a little more leeway when it comes to contract talks.

Do you disagree that Libba, as a package from the last three years, taking everything in to consideration received the contract that was called for ?
For me it’s a smart decision.

I'd say that on the output of the last 2 years, he was offered a reasonable contract - which as I understand it has some options for a 2nd year within it.

Yeah, that’s fair enough.
I reckon the second year cause will be met going on his interview on the website. Seems up and about for next season.
Otherwise he’ll look pretty stupid if he has another season like recent ones after the things he’s said.

Haha, of all the people at our club, Libba is clearly the one who cares the least about his appearance!

Well, maybe a tie with Dr Zimmerman...

True dat

The way I heard it was that the management were looking to rip up his current contract and put him on a million plus from next season onwards, rather than waiting til 2020, which isn’t totally dissimilar to what you are saying in terms of paying it forward

Jong for 2 years is the main one

Yep, sounds about right. They want the big bucks now.

Heard this quite a while back myself and think that’s the more likely explanation. In fact it was more about using cap space we have now (ie a front loaded contract).

Completely forgot about that!
Jong worth two but not Libba. Gee....
