Analysis Worst AFL contracts.

[Tbonefreo]

Brad Hill closing the gap on McGovern with every game

How much is Gov Jr on?

 

[ManOfClay]

How much is Gov Jr on?

enough. But He’s a non-factor.

hill actively hurts his side being such a conditional footballer

 

[StringyDog]

How much is Gov Jr on?

>700k and another 2 years after this

 

[Tbonefreo]

>700k and another 2 years after this

Surely not?

 

[ManOfClay]

Could put st kilda’s recruiting as a collective.

all mercenaries looking out with no.1 with no heart for the club.

hannebery was cooked, wanted to extend his career.
Hill wanted money.
Jones would have been NEAFL - thanks Saints for the payday
we all saw the doco- crows laughing at flog crouch who only cares about himself.

these guys don’t care.

st Kilda even got hannebery to present crouch’s guernsey. That st kilda champion Dan Hannebery

 

[billyboutsis]

Surely not?

surely so...and i thought it was 750k rather than 700

 

[Instincts]

Aidan Corr has a 5 year deal.

He missed out on one game but prior he has been solid in both games, don't understand the knock on him.

He's average at best and unless you're in the top 5-10 key defenders in the game, a 5 year deal is way overs.

Is it a horrible contract? On par with the likes of Beams and McGovern?

Aidan Corr is not average at best, he's elite in metres gained, disposals, intercepts and above average in rebound 50's alongside a contesed defence loss rate of 14.3%. He's not the best defender by any means, not even AA worthy, but a solid contributor.

In terms of length? It's up there.

He really is. He's an okay stopper but his kicking is poor, which hurts his ability to rebound. Most defenders you describe rarely get more than 2 year deals, sometimes 3 years, but you're happy to tick off 5 years?

Obviously I think we're paying slight overs, but as of right now, you're cracked to think that he's comparable to a player which played only 8 games or another that isn't even considered best 22 and can't even get a goal per game as a forward.

 

[Ambrosia]

Free agents are always going to be overpaid because you don’t have to give up anything to get them.

Coniglio by a country mile.

Certainly looking like that....and recruiting James Frawley.
Wtf is that?
Was cooked three years ago.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Not the worst but I do think Carlton is massively overpaying Williams. I think in a couple of years they’ll be regretting it.

 

[Punts]

Tippett owns this

 

[Harris 10]

I always thought one of the dumbest contracts ever offered was Cale Hooker, it just showed a total lack of understanding where the club was at.
They would've got pick 2 compensation (Tarranto), instead they kept Hooker and traded away multiple picks in years to come chasing midfielders like Smith and Shiel.
I also think the 5 year deal offerered to Viney this year won't look good in years 4 and 5 either.
The Grundy deal is crazy for a ruckman.


But the worst AFL contract ever considering what we gave up was the one my club gave to Jonathan Hay.

No way, for real?

People joke that no one wants to go to North but I'll say that has saved them from a whole lot of these kind of contracts

Well, you'd be horribly incorrect then.

Classic eth-dog in action here.

He's a poor to average key defender
He has a 5 year deal on a good amount of coin

In what world is this not a very poor contract?

which one.

Hooker. Was vital in us getting most of the players back on board, was an All Australian calibre defender and a good key forward in his own right.

Classic eth-dog in action here.

Being right and waiting for everyone else to catch up? Yeah, I know.

 

[Pop Pie]

Went off the boil as soon as he re-signed

I wouldn't write Grundy off yet. BOG last week and should back it up this week. Hopefully these couple of soft kills will play him back into form. But I agree with the sentiment around him not being interested in premierships. If he was he would've taken unders like they do at Richmond instead of squeezing everything he could out of the club.
