I could accept $1m for a year as part of a heavily front loaded contract - especially given half our list next year will be 1st or 2nd year players on the standard AFL contract. But he is not in the same league as Judd, Ablett etc, and shouldn't be getting paid as such.

No wonder Hase is getting upset if this story has any modicum of truth to it.

Or perhaps it's just Colon Young talking shit again.

Kim Fagdorn wrote it, so take that into account.
Just the Slime stirring the pot as usual...

 

[sumavich]

He aint worth $1million over his career based on today's game so far.
Jeez Ibbotson is soft !

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

If we'd even considered calling his manager - you can pretty much guarantee we won't bother now. That's more than double what we'd be looking at paying.

Perhaps a smart 'leak' from the Freo board to reduce competition for his signature. ( I thought he was signed through 10 anyway)

 

[Tombopoliner]

Maybe i am missing something but i don't understand how anyone can say Ibbotson is soft. He is continually putting his body over the ball and getting cleaned up, is only in his second years and one of our more consistent performers. Whilst quiet, he is was far from our worst today.

Sandilands is probably our most important player...

 

[yakamoto]

If Sandilands is our most important player no wonder we're 15th and turning out the crap we served up today.

 

[Selggad]

That article is a complete load of crap. There are three stories in there

1. Sandi is going to be offered huge amounts to go.
2. Freo will struggle to keep Pavlich.
3. Priddis has knocked back big offers to stay at the eagles as a show of faith in their soon to happen rise to the top.

Does anyone else see some agendas other than unbiased reporting?

Apart from clubs paying 92% of the salary cap (North?, Melb), which Melb clubs would have $1.2M cap space to make such an over the odds offer to 211???? Is John Elliott back in business in the AFL?
And which clubs would be taking enough drugs to offer Priddis more money?

*injunction*

Yeah, the money being thrown at Priddis thing is rubbish.

Keeping him for the 2 years then ship him off.

 

[aussieviking]

If A club wonts to pay him a million let him go as long as we get some good picks etc no way is he worth half that price

 

[DizzyHB]

Funny how when we're flying we all talk about how dominant Sandi is and he's the best ruckman in the AFL and wank wank wank.

As soon as we lose he's lucky to be worth $500K.

Pull the bloody other one!

 

[smkwd]

There are a lot of crack babies on this board. Common sense and logic right out the window, and a few of you have been found out.

$1,000,000 - was raised by the "journalist", not by the manager, nor by any club spokesman. Fagdorn is full of shit and most of you incredibly fell for the baiting.

 

[Clay Davis]

I meant the concept that clubs interstate were planning on throwing money at him to win him from the Eagles. Only Richmond might. Anyone who has seen him these past two years would know his true value.
