Toby Greene signs 6 year $1mil pa deal

[BF Tiger]

Actually no. When a certain "premiership captain" played hard but fair and unfortunately knocked out Shiel was the turning point.

good on him had a rippa year

 

[Gavin Excell]

Were any Vic clubs realistically after him?

 

[RUNVS]

Good player. Not worth that coin though. Must have had a decent offer on the table from someone

I think we need to re-evaluate what a million dollar player is as the higher salary cap means that players who were on $700,000 about 5 years ago would now be worth about $1 million.

Dusty signed for unders at 1.1M per year then.

He didnt say that at all

He said Kellys personality is better at handling the fishbowl existance.

That does not explain why GWS would sign him for two years and Greene for six years. Unless he is leaving open the possibility of a return to Melbourne in 2020.

Edit: fixed typos/missing words.

We were ahead of the curve

Or he knows things will change with cap, space or thinks he could get more with 2 yeara extra.
Or the Giants want to see more before signing him for longer.

Many different reasons.
Not saying he wont go but he has shown no reason to say he doesnt want to stay.

I think Greene has more chance lasting to the end of his contract than Buddy.

More likely the first point than the second I reckon. Not sure he could show too much more to convince the club to give him a three years plus deal. Back on topic, it would not surprise if the big money to Greene is conditional to some extent in the later years (like with Travis Cloke's last Collingwood contract).

A couple of posters in the know have said the final 2 years are a cutprice rate.
Scull level pay cut.

Thats funny...at first it was " buddys not worth it, culture killer " etc and now that he is on pretty average coin compared to other players, won 2 colemans and 3 all australians, the buzz word is he wont finish contract

Actually i never said he wasnt worth the coin. Always thought the contract was too long and was glad he went the Swans way and we got players we needed instead.

Does anyone recall or have a link to what Leon Cameron said about him on the 3AW news today? Quite a glowing reference.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He's a star. I remember his first season as a ball-magnet mid with questionable disposal, averaging 30 odd in his very first season. I thought he would become a key midfield cog, but now he's reinvented himself into a match winning HF... Never saw it coming

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I would pay him that money no worries he's a star.

 

[Komrade_Tiger]

Actually no. When a certain "star" got a free pass and knocked out Shiel was the turning point.

Someone that isn't a Richmond supporter thinks Dave Astbury is a star?
Now I've seen everything

(FTR, i'm more stating that he isn't rated as highly by opposition supporters than he probably should be)

Astbury? Who?

Cotchin was the one with the protection.

What did Cotchin do wrong? Sure he accidentally clipped Shiel but he was genuinely attacking the ball.

Can’t ban a guy because the other guy got hurt in that case. He didn’t bump

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

but he was genuinely attacking the ball.

So ‘genuinely attacking the ball’ now means going past the ball with your arm tucked in to your side and leading with your shoulder?

Hmmmm.....

how does one go past the ball and still end up with it?

You would hope so. Outstanding footballer.

That's the shape of the Sherrin mate.

Yep. Just like Geelong and Adelaide were denied flags by having to play ‘away’, GWS were robbed in 2017.

Loving the ‘woulda, shoulda, coulda’ mentality even 6 months after the fact.
Opposition tears make it all the more sweet.
