The enjoyment of thinking he might be coming without having to commit to it or do it was worth it.

 

[blueiris]

Oh wow the press we got in Buddy to the Lions was at least positive for one day

Pruess?

Please for the love of god no.

Incredibly overrated and can’t stay on the field because of suspension and injury.

Was prior interest in Briggs whom is now out of contract but he hasn't played much although named to play this week. Probably stays at GWS.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Gotta love player agents.

 

[Shaq attack]

Absolute bullocks

Quality insight.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

That was a fun 24 hours of Big Bud action

And before tonights game said the deal with McStay and Collingwood was done - $3M x 5 yrs - cant say i like these journos taking such glee in a player leaving a club whilst there has been no announcement by that player of his original cluib. Doubt the same thing happens if it was a Pies player joining an interstate club in the same circumstances.

Wouldn't be disappointed if Gardiner left as a RFA I don't know exactly how much he earns but if the list I saw a while back is accurate then it is disproportionate for his worth to us.
He's been out of form and deserves to be dropped but I'm not sure Fagan would ever drop him.

yeah appears he is in our top 10 paid players hence the RFA. For a back, mostly matching up on the oppositions 4th best forward (Starc takes the 2nd or 3rd most dangerous) it is disproportionate and I reckon Brisbane's contract offer reflects that reality.

A player only needs to a top 10 paid player in the last year of his contract, to be a RFA.

So Gardiner could have had a disproportionately high, back ended contract, for him to be a RFA this year.

Possibly, but also when he was offered the contract some 4 or so years ago, we were not as strong or an apparent respected club as we are now. Club was paying overs to keep and attract players. Gardiner was also developing nicely as a foil for Andrews so I believe he would be on good coin. Don't you find it strange there has been no club announcement regarding his signing as a boost for the club?

He’s obviously in the top 25% of the Lions salary cap being he’s a Restricted agent so you’d say 650k to 700k

Not even close. Take 40% off your guess and you might be closer.

it would have to about that this year because of he’s backloaded contract and he’s Restricted ability this season

 

[Brett C]

Quality insight.

No need to waste time when responding to gibberish is there

 

[briztoon]

No, it wouldn’t.

It was pure speculation on my part that he could be on a back ended contract.

It’s also quite conceivable that the 9th highest player on our list could be on $450k this year. Especially if the top 8 highest players account for $5m to 6m of the salary cap.

Its not a backloaded contract and its not 450K.

Pure speculation from me but you would think if he is on $450K (i think more like $550K) and Lions have offered close to that he would re-sign.

[Nathan Barley]

Sounds more like retirement

How do you know what a players contract is?
