I completely agree with you. I just hope someone at the club who shares these values and is trusted is portraying this message.

How can anyone “portray” views on money to others? What if player x has a chance to make an extra y amount of money to help their broader family?

Should they put “club loyalty” ahead of family?

“I couldn’t put the kids through private school but that’s ok, the club reunions are awesome.”

I hope Bruz stays with pies but anyone condemning any player for taking big cash needs to grow up.

Portray the below:

"Mates, big games and big crowds as well as a legacy as a club legend and one team player"

That’s the sell. But caning a bloke for taking the dollars is just immature

You were a wonderful reporter on the De Goey potential move to north. You going to keep us informed again?

Haven't heard anything unfortunately.

It's way to early.
 
Bruzzy may not leave - for a whole range of reasons - but I wouldn’t begrudge him making the most dollars out of the remaining years of his career.

No-one has given more to the club over the last decade. He’s been a warrior. And he’s not chased the money before.

But he’s also said ‘it’s a business’ and while we love him and want him to stay, he’s a footy player with a particular skill and he should maximise that while he can.
 
sideswipe said:
Loyalty and mateship? It’s a business. If Bruz didn’t perform, he would be out on his arse. Do you have negative views on the likes of Bobby, Schultz, Houston et al who ditched their buddies to come to us?

You seem to be foisting your ideas of money, and what’s enough, onto others. That’s just myopic.

I'd be feeling just the same- but all three you cited were either wanting to be closer to family or moving for more opportunity. None of these circumstances apply to Bruz-it's just a clear case of we will offer you more money. Of course, footy is a brutal industry and they dump you as soon as you are no longer required- but it's not about what the club will do to you, it's about your personal values and how you feel about yourself by staying true to them. If loyalty matters to you, then what your club does or doesn't do is of no consideration.

He's already earned enough money to do whatever he wants to do. A decade on at least (and probably more) 500k a year will set up anyone with a decent financial manager. If he goes it's because money is more important than mates, one club legacy and playing in front of huge adoring crowds-not because he fears for his future family's well-being which so many say in situations like this! I'm sure they'll be just fine. :)

My dad knocked back an offer of much more money to take on a job in Sydney when we were kids and he asked us kids how we felt. We pleaded with him not to go and told him how much we would miss our friends (and Collingwood) and all we loved about Melbourne and dad said no. To this day I honour that beautiful man for placing our emotional connection to people and a footy club ahead of more money.


It will be interesting to see what he does as he seems to place a real value on loyalty and mateship. But you are right, sideswipe, people do have different priorities.

how does 500k a year for 10 years set you up for life.
After tax that's around 3 million.
A standard house in Melbourne costs 2 million plus.
Which leaves 1 million.
And I imagine he would have spent at least 500k over those 10 years.
That leaves 500k.
Invest that in the stock market and you would earn about 20k a year.

That's hardly set up for life.
You know Domus this has all been explained to you before but you just keep on peddling the same stuff.

If you earn over half a million a year as a single man for ten years and you are not set up, then there is something very wrong with your financial planning. Please don't tell me he has to think of the possibility of having no roof over his head or food to feed his kiddies when they come along.

What standard house costs 2 million bucks in Melbourne?

Not to mention, he & Ashlee have most likely already bought a house & have a mortgage. Probably the one they're currently living in.

I love the bloke- it's the Melbourne fans you have to ask about him - and if they were pissed off, I'd say I understand why. Look- Maynard is a fantastic player and good bloke and if he chases the money then I'll wave him out the door and hope he never gets near another final in his career.

Most on this forum are willing to accept it if he walks out on us for more money and that's their prerogative. I would take it as a bit of punch in the guts from a bloke who has been unbelievably passionate and proud about the mighty club he plays for. To see him running around in a North guernsey would hurt and would tarnish his status in my eyes. That's just the way I'd feel. It's not right or wrong.

You show me how you could set yourself up for life on 500k for 10 years.

I don't live in Aus anymore but I do like to occasionally browse Real Estate Au website.
A half decent house in a decent suburb in Melbourne is around 2 million.
Don't forget there is interest as well.

These guys don't live in the ghettos.

But go ahead and show me how you can set yourself up for life on 500k per year for 10 years.

I showed you why you can't.
Prove me wrong.
