Balta has been shit this year but there are obvious reasons for that. He'll be fine.
3 more years for Viney is crazy.

I know what he is getting paid, it's not 1m a year.
Parish is Essendon's worst but the numbers are inconsequential at the moment as our list is just so far away from actually requiring the 95% of the cap that the rules make teams spend. I can see us looking to take on some of the "bad" contracts from other teams just to reach the cap floor.
well that settles itI know what he is getting paid, it's not 1m a year.

And that's anbother shit rule that need to be dispensed with too.Don't agree on Kelly. They're a bottom side so need to fill the salary floor somehow.
3rd/4th string providing 3rd/4th string mid performances signed to 2030... There's the answer.
Stars get 5+ years. Not your soldier types.
Taranto will likely be a 2-time BnF winner this year and is having easily the highest rated season of his career. Couldn't have done much more? Hopper has finally got his body right and is probably on the podium in the bnf with Vlastuin.Taranto & Hopper on $1m P.A each for 7 years is pretty bad.
Personally think Nick Vlastuin will win our B&F or should but Taranto & Hopper shouldn't be too far behind.Taranto will likely be a 2-time BnF winner this year and is having easily the highest rated season of his career.

Yeah Vlastuin and Taranto will be 1 and 2 for sure. The couple of games missed by Taranto might be the difference.Personally think Nick Vlastuin will win our B&F or should but Taranto & Hopper shouldn't too far behind.
"Long term contracts gone bad" has nothing to do with your crystal ball. If you want to start a thread "Contract that could potentially go bad" - go for it. I dare say Hayden Young would even be in the first two names mentioned though.If Young misses a lot of football over the next 6 years how is that not the very point of this thread?
Of course it may just be a one-off thing, but is speculation not allowed?
parish Calf, calf, calf and took it slowly, sought independent advice given how poor efc handled it.Is Parish injured or he hasn’t been able to get a game all year?
Just Xavier dudes looking after each otherRemember when they gave an absolutely cooked Dan Hannebery an $800k/pa 5 year deal to leave Sydney who were like 'ok bye!' and took a token pick upgrade trade to send him on his way - at the time a 27 year old, 3 Time All Australian.
Dan never got rolling at the Saints, which every man and his dog could have told you before he signed that deal - luckily it was a 4 years guaranteed with a trigger for the 5th (which he didn't reach, obviously) but he ended up playing 18 games over 4 years at the Saints - a run of 5, 8, 2 and 3 games - working out $178,000 per game.
That was the gold standard of terrible contracts (before we got into this 6 year+ craziness).
It never got the love it deserved because everyone forgot he existed by the end.

Ridley’s is arguably even worse but agree in that it’s pretty inconsequential for now.

I don't want to parrot Kane Cornes but here we are.
Seems like there are a few long term contracts that have gone sour..
I'll make a start but please feel free to add suggestions and I'll update the OP.
1. Clayton Oliver > 2030
2. Noah Balta > 2032
3. Luke Davies Uniacke > 2032
4. Tim Kelly > 2027
5. Bradley Hill > 2027
6. Blake Acres > 2027
7. Adam Cerra > 2030
8. Max King > 2032
Whichever one goes to 2027Which Brad Hill contact is he talking about though ?.
The initial one or the three year extension once that had expired ?.
Whichever one goes to 2027
I think that's well known. But hutchie loves him.So the three year one where he is on peanuts.
Seems like a strange one to focus on but Kane is a bit tapped in the head.
I'm not sure how this is relevant. Are you in the right thread?Did you call out the person who said Jai Newcombe?
Or youre just a bit of a snowflake ?
