You wouldn't think this would be a large money contract either.

5 years is a lot but I'm far more confident than I would've been giving 4 years to Greenwood or Keath

Tredders seems to be of the opinion that he's now one of our highest paid players, while Bickley has said the opposite and said he sacrificed a bit of coin for the longer deal.

So I guess all we know is everyone is just guessing!

I’d guess in the region of roughly 3m over 5 years.

Reckon something like that is a good deal for player and club.

The thing to remember with long deals is, by about year 3-4 the league averages will increase to the point where Jnr will be right back in the pack in terms of salary.

So even if he is on overs to start, he'll probably be on under's for the last 2 years of his contract, and that's if he only plays to his 2018 standard (which I think we all assume he will surpass).

Good deal for all!

For such a quite and reserved bloke he seems extremely well liked by the whole playing group going by that contract reveal footage. Have we ever really done something like that before?

Maybe it’s a new thing Nicksy and co are trying to implement, getting around people who want to be here and play for the club.

Or maybe everyone just stoked to have Milera hitting them on the tit from all parts of the ground!

It always makes me happy when Doedee in particular gets around them on twitter.

Made me laugh when Blighty and Wilds were talking $300k initially, then Wilds pointed average wage is something like $380k and then they said, ok $400k then

Comical - I mean we’re all guessing but surely that’s not realistic.

I’m prob at the higher range but I would have thought it would be no lower that 2.5 over 5.

The Bickley scenario would be the one I'd favour on face value as the more realistic especially after Tex's dig at his press conference re Wayne's partner Nina.

Sounds like wedding bells are on the horizon for Wayne.
 
This is a bit of a strange one, happy with it, but would have expected Milera to go short term, back himself to elevate to the next level and go for the big contract sooner.

So I've got no doubt this is a healthy amount with a bit of potential factored in.

I suppose if he does really step up over the next couple of years he will just negotiate an extension at higher dollars over the last couple of years, and we all know that contracts are fairly meaningless, someone with a 5 year deal could request a trade next year and if not get it, get it the next year.

I think there's a very real chance Doedee could end up our next captain. That would be a pretty good result for a guy who, when drafted, was greeted with Crows fans complaining that we didn't draft some bog average vanilla half back Ryan Burton.

Very happy with Doedee but Burton ain’t a big average vanilla half back
 
Mr_Moogle said:
He has no standout traits other than his long kicking. I'd take Doedee over him any day.

You might and so would I but he ain’t bog average or vanilla.

He can play on talls or smalls and spanked Tex once. Has decent pace, great kick, can play in defence or up forward. He’s suffered due to injuries as has Doedee but he’s a quality young player.

We must be watching different players. Burton ain't quick. Not saying he's slow either but speed is not a standout attribute. He also doesn't play forward at Port Adelaide. Yes he's gotten on the end of a few chains and kicked a few nice long goals but that doesn't make him a capable forward. By that defintion Smith and Seedsman would be forwards too.

For a tall player he’s got reasonable pace.

Just because he doesn’t play forward at Port doesn’t mean he can’t, he played it as a junior, something Seeds and Smith never did.

But I agree, we must be watching two different players.

I think he'd be one of the highest paid in guarenteed salary but per year I wouldn't have thought he would be in the top 10 per year

Oh the old "he played there as a junior so he can play there in the AFL" argument. Yikes.
 
Elite Crow said:
Oh the “bog average” player because he’s not on our team. Yikes. That’s something I’d expect from Kristof

Burton probably stacks up against other half backs in the league quite well but he's not quick, he's not a forward and he sure as hell aint no Doedee. My point was that people were wrong to criticise Hamish. He knows better than most of us here on BF.

You could have done that without being totally wrong about Burton. What position was he playing when he cleaned up Tex? Half back? Do you think for a tall player he’s slow?
