Analysis Worst AFL contracts.

[Shadow89]

Surprised Motlop is going under the radar, with his $600K per year at Port. Absolute perennial 'contract year player.' Will have a blinder this year, and then get another 3 year contract...where he does absolutely nothing. Rinse and repeat.

Don't think Port will give a sh*t if they win a flag this year really.

per games played for the $$$ he received would have to be up there

 

[Trucker Tiger]

Channel 10 signed Stephen Silvagni for five years. Think he lasted one. Even SOS knew he was terrible behind the mic.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Hogan’s deal to Freo probably the best one of recent times for mine.

I didn't he was on massive coin, and was a 3 year deal from memory. I could be wrong through.

The trade was far worse. Hes a penis

 

[RonnieRaven]

Harley is a good one!
3 years on probably on 400K+
played 3 games for 19 possessions 2 goals.
Got 36 and 5 in one game for the suns.

 

[theyellowsash]

surely josh kelly takes the cake.

writing in a clause where the player can choose to walk or extend their contract for a long time and on a huge pretedermined sum of money, is just absolutely absurd.

if you're going to give him a huge length and paycheck, lock him in so he cant just leave. If hes not locked in, dont give him the paycheck.

Don't think you haven't watched us much then considering we have had one of the deepest lists in the comp for the past 2 years and he's still getting games which should be some sort of clue as to how he's been going compared to someone like Jack Stevens. And honestly even if he leaves us without a flag his Showdown goal is enough to make it all worth it.

'Don't think I haven't watched you much'...so I have watched you...lol? I watch every game mate. It's now how many games he plays, it's how he plays in them.

Btw it's Jack SteveN, and the guy suffered from mental health issues, split with his partner, got stabbed, was on our list for all of 10 months and then mutually parted (really classy to bring that up). Motlop has been on your list 3 years going on 4, and has one moment you can speak of in that entire time - whilst you pay him 500-600K per year. The guy plays for contracts, and then disappears - he did it with us, and he'll do it with you guys. Don't know why it offends you so much. Steven at least had an excuse, Motlop is just lazy.

P.S. you might want to relax about your list, as you've played North and Essendon in the opening two rounds, which will likely be Bottom 3. You've done nothing yet, and a lot of you are acting like you've already got 1 hand on the flag - it's a long season.

 

[PAFC_1870]

and has one moment you can speak of in that entire time

I can think of another, final last year....

Don't know why it offends you so much.

Should ask you the same, or is it that you are still bitter he played well in the Final?

P.S. you might want to relax about your list, as you've played North and Essendon in the opening two rounds,

Well, atleast we didn't lose to the Crows. The Wooden Spooners.

Or get a dodgy Umpiring decision to save us in R2.

Fancy creating all this furore, over Steven Motlop. This has got to be seriously one of the dumbest back and forths I've got into on BF, in a while - if not ever.

When you look at it totality, and the trade haul we got for Tim Kelly, we ended up with 2 years of Tim Kelly, 3 years of Ablett, Jeremy Cameron, Cooper Stephens and a likely mid 20's future pick, for Motlop, lol. I'm pretty comfortable with our decision.

Look at you with the clever 'zingers.' I honestly couldn't care how he goes. He's a lazy downhill skier, which has nothing to do with Port as a whole. You keep trying to have a jab to defend Motlop, but I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve.

We still made the Grand Final, regardless btw...sooo...not sure of the relevance.

Anyway, whatever, I seem to have touched a nerve due to both of you and your undying Motlop love. Gonna put you both on ignore now, because there's really no point in this 'convo.' You both seem to have taken this rather personally, when it was about Motlop as a player, not Port Adelaide as a club. Going after Steven was pathetic, so they got a jab back for that. Now you're taking pot shots at Geelong as a club, because I made a pretty factual statement about one of your/one of our ex-players - who is notorious for his lackluster effort in non-contract years, over the latter half of his career.

What a pointless argument, as I only posted a throwaway comment, and you both went right for the throat. Sad.

Don't bother responding, as I've wasted far more time than I would like on Steven 'I only play well in a contract year' Motlop

Did he play 3? Could have sworn it was only 2.

[Truckosaurus]

Pies fans, help me out. Did Travis Cloke do anything after he and his dad held your club to ransom?

is the worst contract in the AFL.

Yes, fancy getting worked up about a player, you lost, that we are happy about.

Glad we agree.

I'm not reading your post. Motlop isn't even close to the worst in the league.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Chris Yarran contract for Richmond might not be the worst compared to some of the others mentioned but got to be the most frustrating one recently for the tigers

 

[Marcel Proust]

Some people concerned with floss the boss getting a 5 year deal. I'm pretty comfortable with it. The campaigner is a legendary imho

 

[TheGreatBambino]

Does Terry Wallace’s contract at Sydney in 03 count ?

 

[The Inbetweener]

Josh Bruce still has three years left on his contract...

Disregard.

I agree you've got a pretty deep list and Motlops contract doesn't belong in this thread though it does overpay him a bit. But the comparison to Jack Steven is a little silly. Saints paid some of his contract, gave up a nothing pick. Not a great end to his career but the cats gave him a contract that accounted for said risk.

Disregard.

Hang on. He kicked 6 against us last year and 8 for the other 16 games.
