Free Agency Zac Williams [joins Carlton as an RFA for a 1st round compensation pick]

[PMBangers]

This isn't a 'my club is better than yours' contest, keep discussion relevant to Zac Williams please

 

[Sirlemsip]

'Up to $900k per season' could easily be:
800k - 800k - 900k - 600k - 600k

without seeing the contract its hard to know.

Average of 900k over the 5 seasons is certainly overpaying though.

I would be happy to have him for 700-750k average per year.

 

[Fridge16]

Shave $100k off and you might be closer to the mark. Should still trigger Band 1 tho.

Add $150k and you will be closer to the mark

Will definitely trigger band 1.

 

[jezzajay]

So in other words... some where in the vicinity of $0 - $900,000.
Dead set, must be hard getting a job as a reporter these days with this type of expertise.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

gtfo

Remember, Channel 7 is the Essendon unofficial media department.
Presumably wanting to put a bit of heat on the Blues to affect the Saad trade.

Yep.

Band one compo means the player would be in the top five percent highest paid players in the comp. That’s roughly top two for each club. You’d assume Cripps would be Carlton’s highest paid player. Charlie’s reportedly on $800k a year so you’d hope he’d be the second highest paid (although Weitering would have claims). Zachs contract probably places him in between Charlie’s and Cripps.

The pick handed out will tell the story, but most are assuming he’s band one.

 

[Falcon27]

Lol surely not. That is crazy money

Carlton accountant is going to have to get funky with the numbers next year when Cripps is off contract. if these Williams and Saad numbers are correct.

Guessing we have the same accountant as geelong

Cripps is going to re-sign by the end of this year

It could also, and likely is, 700base and 10k per game played, 30g for top 3 BnF, 50g for 1st place, etc.

I understand a lot of contracts are based like that.

So it COULD be 900k if Williams has an inbeleievable seaosn, wins the Browlow and Norm Smith, and if thats the case - i'd definitely pay him 900

 

[Kernafides]

Yet no one asks how the tiges afford Martin, Jack, lynch, Cotch, prestia, Grimes etc.....it's amazing how the same dribble gets regurgitated every year

Where in the world did you get this idea from? Compensation is formulated, has nothing to do with top % of paid players.

Are you sure you are not confusing this with free agency - players who are in the top 25 per cent of salaries at their club (top 9/10 players) are eligible for restricted free agency the first time they are out of contract, if they have served at least eight years with the club? lol

Could get some advice off the Cats or Tigers me thinks.

 

[Donstuie]

It never ceases to amaze me how Carlton go from being a "one-man team" to "they'll struggle to pay all their stars in a few years" when a decent player nominates them.

Nor the gullibility of falling for click-bait with the words "reportedly" and "up to" when talking about an athlete's salary.

Mate...gullible opposition supporters sitting at their keyboards ready and waiting to have a dig, all be it with no clue what so ever.
The minute you reply with common sense or a meaningful response they disappear into thin air...aren't you used to this by now?

AFL Day 1 of free agency wrap: Daniher DONE, Giants duo GONE in huge opening day

Trade wrap: Daniher DEAL DONE, Giants duo GONE in huge opening day

www.foxsports.com.au

6 x 800 average. Incentives to take it up to 900. For all the talk about the size of Crouch's deal, the blues are coughing up an enormous deal for Williams.

 

[FrankGrimes]

I thought the free agency contract had to include guaranteed money? So might be 800k guaranteed and some bonus attached
Gws woud know exactly what amount it was and have just told the media I’m tipping

 

[Suma Magic]

6 x 800k is nuts. Not to mention the incentives.

That's crazy

 

[Milanista28]

If he performs as a mid then he's worth that IMO, he can play, time will tell

 

[Ducky Tie]

The sixth year is the part that surprises me. He'll be 31 for the whole of that sixth year.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

That’s a massive deal for a hbf jesus

 

[F_therest]

The sixth year is the part that surprises me. He'll be 31 for the whole of that sixth year.

And up until that article, it had been reported as a 5 year deal...now suddenly 6.

If true i'm not happy with that contract. But i'm hoping it's one of these situations:

 

[kreglze]

6 years is interesting would take him into his early 30's on good money.

Tom Morris has said 6 x $800 - $900

 

[Adz2332]

massive money!! but then again they need to show some huge improvement if they want cripps to sign back up. they have to make the finals atleast!
