Not wrong, but most clubs have poor contracts like that on their books. Aren't we paying close to $1mil per year between Schache and JJ?

He looks like he’s playing sore, but also his mind might be on things off the footy field ?.
From what I’ve seen this year, he definitely seems to need a “freshen up”. If this was not a contract negotiation year, I wonder if the Blues might have sent him off for a long break with surgery + rest the body ?.

Definitely Hannebery. At least Coniglio's contract will mostly take place during a rebuild phase and he might turn it around, while Hanners has not only not played, but his salary is impacting during a time when St Kilda would see themselves as contenders.
Yeah, that is a shocker. I forgot Hanners existed.
At least it isn't as long as Cogs'. I suspect that the last 5 years of Cogs contract will be equally useless.
I wonder if a rebuilding team like North or Ess might offer to take over the end of Hannerbery's contract if the Saints throw in a first round pick?

I don't think they would be too happy about it.

That's more to do with gws having a very solid mid group. Cogs would still be handy in a pocket

Chuck in Brad hill and Brad crouch too.
Crouch has been good since coming over, certainly has no place in this thread. Already one of our best players. Only earned Adelaide band 3 compensation so his salary isn't that big anyway.

Dumbest comment I've heard. Richmond with Riewoldt out for a fair bit of 2019 would never have won the flag without Lynch. If you recruit a player and win a flag, regardless of what you've paid it's worth it. Same for Boyd from the dogs. They won a flag. Clubs spend millions every year to win the Premiership and only one club gets it done. Regardless of the back ended contract it was well worth it and RFC will never regret that decision. Just as the bulldogs do not regret paying highly for Boyd. Doggies would not have won that flag without him.

Just trying to be trolling more like. Free player who was key in two premierships.

Everyone admires Cripps but 6 years for a bloke with a busted up body pretty much ensures his 6 year contract rates regular mention in this thread.

New reports surfacing he's actually on 900k per year, too.

At least Hill is playing I guess.
Sloane elite mid $ for providing barely selectable output and 2 more years of it belongs on that list. If he was a 20 year old with a handful of games under the belt he'd be in the 2s.
Grundy has been bog average for two whole seasons now.
Well yes but I thought that was the point of the thread?
It's not worst players. It's worst contracts.
So it's all relative.
He's a good player on a superstar contract.
This makes it bad when you consider what it means for list mgt.

Given what that club has put him through they probably owed him more
