Unrestricted Free Agent Brayden Maynard

[Red4]

Definitely seen plodder Perryman come in for big bucks and getting to do nothing, and thought why aren’t I getting paid that. 6 yr 1 mil contract is horror, but he wouldn’t leave for any less. Fair play north at least their going after someone they can actually get

 

[TradeDraft]

Probably because he's already won a flag an wants to cash in?

At the very least, it'll make Collingwood up whatever they're offering.

We won't match North's Offer though

 

[TradeDraft]

Considering the pies gave basically that exact contract to Perryman don't see why they won't match.

Maynard is 3-4 Years Older

He might as well take it then.

Huge money.

Will also give Collingwood a first rounders this year.

Reports said Hawks offered Similar Contract

Reports said Hawks offered Similar Contract

Thankfully we have battle instead

 

[Tugga27]

I hope we are keen on him. Definitely not for a million a year, but would be happy paying 750k

He would get that at the Pies.

 

[markm106]

His manager will be saying hey Perryman is on 900k so that’s what Maynard will be asking.

 

[Jeremias]

I am a massive Maynard fan and think he'd be a great get for North, but 6 years seems crazy.

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Norf you gotta stop doing dumb shit.

 

[Elixuh]

The AFL needs to intervene and stop North from doing this.

Blame collingwood for paying similar for Perryman to get him over for free

Just because Collingwood did something, it doesn't mean you have to pay 29 year old Brayden Maynard $1m per year for 6 years.

Jay Clark reporting on fox footy north offering 6 years at 1 mil - 900k a year.

Thats not enough to get him out surely. Why the **** would he take that to go play for the Roos lol. Play in front of 20k at marvel in a shit team or 80k week in week out with a team primed for a flag?

Know what I would pick.

If I'm 28 and have already won a premiership, and am being offered 1m for 5-6 years... I'm taking the money bro haha

But what this shows is a change in landscape, butterfly effect the Pies paid massive overs for Perryman at the expense of losing Maynard.
I think Maynard is a better player but less time in the sport this deal from North clearly extends his career.

 

[piesaregreat]

I'd go for the money at 29 you dont have alot of time left in the game
Assuming these figures are remotely accurate

 

[A1fromDay1]

Reports said Hawks offered Similar Contract

Noone ever reported that.

Reports were we only offered Perryman 600k a year as we prioritised Battle as you can see from Jon Ralph's story.

Our offer as reported was similar to the Giants and Port Adelaide's were the larger offer and than the pies came in and even blew the Port offer out of the water.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I get the interest for sure. Luke McDonald is deplorable and well past jhis used by date. They also have a giant issue of having too seemingly massively overpay at the trade table to get anyone in ie. Caleb Daniel.

I think Maynard will get 6 years out of himself. He is a A grade professional, always injury free and plays a spot that has longevity. The money will be front loaded also so in years 4 5 and 6 will be on much less. IMO id do the deal if im North. It lets them keep the picks and fix a giant hole

 

[THE_GUN]

Not too sure how correct these numbers would be but lets just assume the $1 mil is correct

What would be Pies offer to him ? Maybe $700k
They would probably increase a bit to $750k which is $250k less than the offer

take away the tax

Does he really move for $150k or stay a 1 club premiership player
Its the years that would be the thing that would swing him IMO

Agreed.

Happy to do $800k x 5. Not sure it will move his dial, but so be it.

Gets him the extra 2 years, more security etc ... is a decent deal for us should he get injured and lose form in year 3 (which is fine by me and pretty much expected)

North will win a flag before the Pies win their next. Pies won't make the 8 this year.

North would be mad to pay that for maynard
Goater will be a nice player that can fit that role and they have Brayden George still to get back from injury
save the cash and pay the kids when they are due or grab another KPD

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Because he’s already won a flag, has played fairly consistent finals and may embrace a different type of challenge all the while getting paid 250k+ per season with likely 3 years more guaranteed.

Seems a pretty easy decision to me.

He barely misses a game. The first of his draft class to get over 200 games. Consistently good. Hard. Passionate. Big leg. Can play tall or small. Not the most productive and hasn't shown anything when not playing defense. If you got some cash he is a good choice. The only issue would be the 6 years. It takes him to 35 which is crazy. They must be willing to from load the he'll out of that contract imo.

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Wouldn't it be ironic if he went to Melbourne.

Was a Melbourne supporter.

We match that offer with 3-4 years.

He wouldn't move for that. We would do 750K and 4 years imo at the Pies. We also extend durable older players so there would be a good chance to get a few 1 year extensions. He is very durable. The 1st of his draft class to get 200 games. We can't match 1 million and 6 years imo.
