Has not actually signed, so thread title is highly inaccurate...
But Saints are getting everyone?!

don't come her and use logic, do you even BigfootyGood to see some damn loyalty for a change.
Not sure how much he is getting but it's probably the 1 million of old, so 1.2-1.4 is spot on.
Good news.... as othes have said nice to see some loyality.
In the age of sporting mercainaries it a refreshing change for a player to stay true to the Club that gave him a start.
Hmm not sure it's that loyal given the mammoth contract...not sure any other club would be willing to pay much more than that.
That is a huge contract to RE-SIGN your own player...usually the other mammoth contracts we've seen were to POACH a player from another club...like Franklin, Boyd, Ablett, Judd & the supposed offers for Martin and Kelly. Kelly and Martin apparently have offers of around $800k from their current clubs to stay, Selwood is on something like $700k, Roughead on less, Pendlebury on less etc
But to re-sign your own player for over $1.1 million is by far an AFL record...Freo really threw the kitchen sink at keeping Fyfe. TBH imo the fact they needed to give him that much money for him to stay means he isn't THAT loyal, it's not like he's stayed for unders due to the love of the club and so that they could build a better list like some other players/clubs have done.
It's really not far off what Pav and Sandi have been on, with the new agreement it's probably going to be the new norm.But to re-sign your own player for over $1.1 million is by far an AFL record...Freo really threw the kitchen sink at keeping Fyfe.

You do understand the new EBA has given them a 20% payrise yeah? This is first major signing under the new regime.
We'll see what contracts the likes of Cripps, Ed Curnow, Weitering and SPS sign when they're free agentsYeah i do mate and it's a big contract even accounting for the increased salary cap. Not just the money but the length of the contract.
Take away the 20% payrise and it would be equivalent to him getting a contract of almost $900k...still a huge and record amount to re-sign your own player for.
Even Kelly and Martin are allegedly only getting offered around $800k from their current teams and they are both currently better than Fyfe.
Look, good on Freo and i'm sure you're happy he re-signed, but it's a mammoth contract and realistically overs.

How are you not getting this?
Hawthorn have already done the "3 vickerys instead of 1 Fyfe" when they targeted numerous B or C graders while building a team that would go on to win 3 flags, instead of trying to bring in 1 superstar.
Other clubs could well choose to put all their eggs in one basket and offer Fyfe the world, but you've really got to stop pretending like clubs deciding to spend less money on more players instead of throwing it all at one player is such a far fetched idea.
