It was Colonial , wasn’t it
We have done extremely well making Kingsley head coach and for him to put together this coaching group.OK folks, this is a must read. If you don't have access to SMH, find a way behind the paywall to read the whole story. Hint: the really interesting part is not Finn Callaghan knocking back $18m & a $1m home load from Saints.
Why this young superstar knocked back $18 million and a home loan
He signed with GWS on the eve of the season for $4.5 million over four years, which will take him to the eve of the 2030 season when he becomes a free agent.www.smh.com.au
Finn Callaghan’s decision to knock back a fortune and back himself – and the AFL’s youngest and smallest club – was secured after coach Adam Kingsley delivered the 21-year-old a detailed picture of the club’s efforts over the off-season to complete the final piece of the premiership puzzle.
It was all about leadership. And decision-making in key moments. Kingsley and his team had already picked up some worrying signs before the Giants’ disastrous straight-sets finals exit last year and decided to invest some hard-fought soft cap gains into shifting the on-field mindset of their leadership group.
Callaghan signed with GWS on the eve of the season for $4.5 million over four years, which takes him to the eve of the 2030 season when he becomes a free agent.
The Giants’ presentation to Callaghan on the eve of the season was not about money but the program they had introduced over the late spring and summer of 2024-25. For the first time in football boss Jason McCartney’s time, the Giants employed an outsider – a leadership coach who had worked with McCartney in the past but was not well known in football circles.
