As a starting point, let's leave any references to 'culture' at the door.

Call it $600k a year more than everyone else if you want. The Saints weren’t bidding against other clubs long before that point, they were bidding up to the dollar amount that rendered any other considerations irrelevant.

You would have to assume his contract is front ended and there are performance based and games based clauses, so he had to consider if he could meet the performance and games based expectations. By extension, the dollar amount would not render any other considerations irrelevant

But it follows from that that he decided he would need ~$600k a year for 8 years to offset considerations like lifestyle, or prospects of success.

TDK got mauled by Marshall, Xerri, Nankervis, Obrien, Witts, Meek and English.

But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Sure whatever floats your boat - I though the club offering $1.1m was way overs.

If he'd accepted it, you'd all be jumping for joy and rubbing our noses in it. That's absolutely what would be happening.

He didn't accept your offer of over a mil a season so now he's dogshit according to your fans.

It's really not that hard to work out what's going on here.

We would be happy he stayed - but he is not in the core group of five and seriously watching TDK against some rucks was highly cringe... good chance to get a ruck with muscle.

Good luck to you mate.

To be honest with Voss running the show, who you've got tapping the ball down at centre bounces is the least of your worries.

And 900k for Williams was overs. Clubs pay overs to get players.

On 30 September 2020, Williams accepted a six-year contract, valued at $900,000 a season from Carlton Football Club, after Greater Western Sydney Giants chose to not match the bid.

Its incorrect the contract value is under $5m
It was also reported on herald Sun AFL Rich 100

So you do accept the first reported figures aren't always accurate.

Hmmmm

Got a link? I just keep finding this.

Would Carlton now be worried about their six-year investment in Zac Williams?

The rebounding defender reportedly signed a near $5 million six-year deal with the Blues for the 2021 season.

So Blues reporting of contracts are wrong and Saints are correct?? Seems legit.

TDK is getting paid $1.75m - only 10 players were paid $850k + in 2020 and Zac wasn't one of them.

Please don’t tell me that you don’t take 1 years rich list and use that as how much a player is getting in total??

In 2024 Ben McKay was the highest paid player in the comp - in 2029 he won’t be in the top 300.

lol - you can’t take 1 year - times it by the length of the contract and then use this as their total contract!!

You are speaking with too much logic and reason for the Blue Baggers.

 

[Elixuh]

TDK, JSOS and potentially Curnow coming to us. Are you blue baggers secretly folding into St Kilda lol?

It’d be like if Bendigo Bank tried to acquire CBA

I think poster needs to log off or get a parent to vet any future posts.

At least they are acquiring them, not getting them for free from Daddy AFL like a Northern clubs.

But whatever helps you sleep at night.

When did he get mauled by Marshall?

 

[stavro#4]

Carlton fans continuous need to tell us that TDK:

• is shit
• Is being overpaid
• all these rucks that smashed him
• why do you need Marshall AND TDK?
• Your cap will be screwed for years etc

Over and over again, can only seemingly point to how much you actually rate TDK as it absolutely reeks of anger that you are losing him to us - otherwise, why bother and not celebrate losing an overpaid list clogger?

I know from past experience, let’s use losing Josh Battle

to Hawthorn as a free agent. The argument was never to go to Battle threads in our droves and all just tell Hawthorn fans the above.

We tore each other apart on our own board about the clubs decision to seemingly value the compo higher. But unanimously agreed Battle was a good defender - who wasn’t worth pick 8 in a super draft. But for Hawthorns needs he would be perfect.

Can you point to one Carlton fan who has said he’s shit?
