Steven McKee - Your Thoughts

Up until now i could see the reasoning for getting someone like a Mckee however thinking about it a bit more i Cant see the benefit of taking a Mckee if his sole role at the club is as a stop gap if Symonds or Staff get injured when we have someone like Ray Hall to fill that position if its needed.
Select Kirkby in the PSD
Rookie 1st pick either Gibson or Jackson.

Cheers!
 
McKee is a dead set hack. I'm not sure why any of use would be happy with McKee. I know a lot of people don't think much of Knobel but atleast Knobel wins the ball and regardless of what is said about him the fact is he played 20+ games in a top 4 side. How many did McKee play? Zantuck should be asked to take a pay cut otherwise pay him out. I wouldn't want anyone like that at Carlton!
Does anyone know if Knobel is asking for 150K then the Tigers wont be able to aford him? Cos if use take Knobel and we take McKee I will be very, very ********ed off.

If we pay him out it might remove the problem but it won't help us getting in a replacement player. We need to clear his salary from the books if possible, or at least a percentage of it.

$150k is next to nothing in modern footy. If that is all he wanted we'd take him. He is probably asking for at least twice that. A guy on minumum wage who plays 22 games would earn $100k and Knobel won't be moving for minimum wage.

McKee let me think...Had him once, traded him for a bloke who couldn't kick, now use our #1 PSD pick to get him back. Ohh No thanks!

You talk as though the #1 PSD pick counts for something. It is just our 9th pick in the Naitional Draft. We've effectively allready used it to extort Troy Simmonds for a bargin.

For a 'ruckman' he is sposed to be a very good kick. Much of his game is good bar actually ruck work.

FWIW, I've heard he will nominate with a 150K price over his head. I think anything over 200K is way to much for him to ask for. You can get a superstar fullback for 300K. Anyway I heard from a few Carlton people that the Tigers couldn't afford him if he was after 150K...Guess they were wrong.

$150k base perhaps. Probably $5k per match on top of that, so a total closer to $250k.

You might get a good fullback for that price, but ruckmen earn a premium. Particularly when they are walking out of a club for a pay rise.
 
How about we pay him nothing. He is a dud.

But as a ruckman it is probably better if his ruck work is good! He might be a great golfer but that won't help hiw win a tap out.
