wasnt the reporting that Owies' management was asking for something absurd like 800k, hence the delisting risk?You wouldn't think so but the story goes that he was the only out of contract small fwd on their list and all of Durdin, Fogarty, Motlop and Fantasia were still contracted so Owies was the odd man out who had t go.
Madness when none of the others have shown any level of consistency for goals unlike Owies over the past couple of years.
Also apparently their cap is very tight, hence the rumour that Kemp could have been let go if a suitable trade compensation was offered.
The likes of Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, Curnow and Mckay are on a handsome sum.
EDIT: looks like it was fabricated
Why false reports of huge salary demands was the "cherry on top" of stressful trade period for Owies
“I couldn't believe that when it came out.”
