Contract v Output

[Arr0w]

Watching tonight's game, Bombers and Dogs, there are a number of players that are being overpaid or underpaid versus output

Durham great bang for buck. Naughton and Parish not great value

Who else across the league is overpaid or underpaid versus output

has put his hand up.

 

[Freomaniac]

West Coast veterans

Half glass full and half glass empty view in that one.

Over paid as they are old and past their prime.... Yes the Mcgoverns and Darlings and gaffs etc are old.

But in their prime they are worth their money as eagles made finals for 6 years in a row from 2015-20

 

[Cmarsh]

Israel Falou and Karmichael Hunt coming in for the overpaid win.

 

[Freomaniac]

Xtreme should we really throw up Bret Harts contracts offers in late 1996? Which you want to hear 1st? WWF or WCW?

 

[Shueygod]

Isn’t Jeremy McGovern still top 3 most paid players in the league?

He’s my pick for most over paid.

He’s been the best KPD this year, reckon Grimes is probably overpaid based on current form.

 

[Xtreme]

WWF!

 

[rapidfire7]

A few overpaid which spring to mind are Dustin Martin, the McKay brothers, the King brothers.

 

[rapidfire7]

Marc Pittonet

Shattered to hear he is still on a list

 

[juss]

He’s been the best KPD this year, reckon Grimes is probably overpaid based on current form.

Grimes was probably never on a premium wage. It's also hard to be critical of club greats that earnt their big contracts and more but are in their twilight years and not playing like their 27 anymore.

What would Franklin have been on in his last year or two? You can't really blame them.

McGovern would be a similar example.

Thing is, the real critique should come on guys in their prime or young stars players who are way overpaid and haven't delivered on it yet.

 

[juss]

A few overpaid which spring to mind are Dustin Martin, the McKay brothers, the King brothers.

You have to laugh at comparing Dusty to those. He's earnt that coin and more with what he delivered to Richmond. We could pay him a million bucks to sit on the bench next year and it'd still be worth it for his career with us.

Those other guys you mentioned have delivered squat for their clubs.

 

[Oraaaaazio]

According to some Ben McKay is the highest paid player in the AFL.
And he's rubbish.

I think he's been quite good this year
Obviously shouldn't be the highest paid player in the comp but think it's just front ended

3 norm smiths is decent value.

 

[Freomaniac]

WWF!

Well WCW offered 3 million a year for 3 years to Bret Hart at the end of 1996 didnt they?

What was the offer Bret Hart was given from the WWF, in Which he ultimately accepted? that infamous 20 year deal?

the 1st 3 years was 1.5 million a year for 3 years as a full time wrestler.

the next 7 years was $500,000 a year as one of Vince McMahons adviser or backstage agents.

the last 10 years was $250,000 a year as a stand by worker.... essentially, a pension for staying loyal to the company for many years.

 

[Lingsface]

Guys like Guthrie and Blitz would be good bang for buck.

Schultz was playing on some real low money until Collingwood I think.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

A few overpaid which spring to mind are Dustin Martin, the McKay brothers, the King brothers.

Dusty is the highest paid player ever out of the salary cap.

He is also the most underpaid player in the history of the game.

 

[Freomaniac]

Guys like Guthrie and Blitz would be good bang for buck.

Schultz was playing on some real low money until Collingwood I think.

Yeah Schulz was on low cash


A fair bit of Dockers fans were gutted when Schulz was traded

 

[Shane Heard]

D.Sheil

He’s bought 6 houses while delivering peanuts

Yes, entirely different situation to the others, and probably shouldn't have clumped them all together like that as you say.

Not disputing that he is one of the very greatest of all time. However, if we are referring to his more recent output (particialry 2024), I still think that he is being overpaid for what he is currently producing.
