One less whipping boy is fine by me

 

[Zebrah]

Well don’t know about years or money. As I said months ago he is or was shopping himself around.

So he did show a willingness to leave us. His dad has told him he deserves more, is one of our better players. Will be interesting watching this develop.

Robert did not attend the reunion nor receive his life membership is pissed he didn’t play in the 99 premiership side.

If Bailey listens to his dad and his dad is so pissed about 99, why did Bailey choose us over Geelong and Gold Coast?

 

[Smoocher]

If you valued a player at 200k below the average salary you wouldn’t be offering them a 4 year deal.

The 150k per year is gauranteed. It doesn't take into account match payments. So if he plays say 20 games, he will get for arguments sake between 10 and 15k per game it pushes him above the average salary. Most contracts are written like this unless you are a star where you are gauranteed a greater % as your base.

Buddy, whipping boy bs is entirely on you, not him.

Spot on. Think his dad was over that but not happy at all about the contract offered to Bailey.

This bloke really should get into player management:

 

[Frogginton McPowell]

6 top 2 in our B&F between 1993-99 and not a superstar?
AFL Hall of fame member, probably the best 2 way runner we have ever had.

Imagine being on such a roll you call a literal Hall of famer "no hall of famer"!?
Also in a post trying to justify your ramblings you write a list of the few high paid "afl quality" players we have to make up our cap floor, but don't include Tarryn who apparently is one of few you claimed was on over 600k a year just a few posts earlier.
LC setting new standards...

maybe you can just throw away the whip and get on the wagon with the rest of us... or if you like whips... maybe take a wonder down to the tender touch?

 

[The Anvil]

What?

Thomas (and Polec and Corr) earns more than that.

Corr was reported to be on 5 year x $550k deal.

Coachless North Melbourne throw millions at Irish recruit

The Kangaroos have signed Aidan Corr to a monster five-year deal worth millions of dollars.

Polec given something more generous than he should have, let's call that one an aberration and not use it for comparisons.

He should be, we played Mooney on the bench in a game when we had another midfielder (Stevo) on one leg and no assurances he would make it through the game.

Getting back to Bailey though, if it's about money I suspect this gets sorted. If it's about the misery for playing in a crap team with years of clueless coaching staff then I could understand that.

 

[Bren]

I think Bails has had it the worst with out unstable coaching since the Brad Scotts era... he has been thrown from pillar to post as he was our brighter star in the making throughout... he does deserve better and I really hope he can get that from the New Clarko Era.

Shit yeah forgot, that we certainly did. Although I don’t ever recall Matty Armstrong being upset when missing the 96 GF. Or R Smith for that matter.

Oh well

If Mahony gets the chop and Bails gets traded, who's the next cab off the rank?

If his dad is so disgruntled about missing out on ‘99 flag it didn’t stop Bailey choosing us in the first instance. As you say, if it’s about the money, hopefully it gets sorted.

Pre-game on his 50th, Sonja came into the Premiership Room and obviously said a few nice things about Bailey and his progress this year, and told us as members (and I paraphrase here) "... get used to seeing Bailey in the royal blue and white because he will be a mainstay for years to come".

There's little doubt to me that the club wants to keep him.

If I was him, I'd be at the reunion but I'd still be cursing the name of Cam Mooney. Yet, for all we know, there were other reasons he wasn't there (as in other commitments).

Bailey is no superstar but what he does for us is very important.
Gut running up and down the ground by giving us options for short chips.
Without him we’d be kicking it long more often.
And don’t forget in the tuggers win - at the end he was the guy that tackled/pressured Aarts.
We need more Baileys than less

Not to mention he is one of the highest “time on ground” players that ultimately allow burst players like LDU the opportunity to have an extra spell.

Where do you get TOG stats

If I'm not mistaken it would have had more to do with our proximity to his university.

Really good post spot onshinboner magic

The only way he gets 600k in a year if its front ended. Then he gets 300, 200, 100.. 250k x 4 years sounds about on the money for Baily.

That's actually 300k per year mate. Still a reasonable offer

 

[Le Grille]

I remember those days

Classic

Dynadrive sneaky underrated

 

[hilly]

Hearing Clarko's contract is actually $1.1m over five years at a cool $220k per season.
