I think most of us were predicting a pre-derby signing - hope it is true so we can move on to getting the other boys signed as well.

Jesus Hagdorn is a terrible writer though. Takes two sentences of relevant information and pads it out with absolute fluff so he can submit it as an article. 'Sports journalism' - exceeding all expectations in lowering the bar of professionalism. To the Media thread!

I was just about to say the same thing.

Turns a tweet reading something like: "Fyfe signs for 3/4 roughly 6m over 4" into a big article about how he might leave when he is 29.
 
Not sure i'm too happy with $1.4M a season (depending on if the $200K bonuses are making a grand final/making All Australian/top 5 in Brownlow).

Would've been happier with $1.2M p.a.
 
I like the idea of a $200,000 carrot on the end of the Brownlow stick.

Who is going to want it more than Nathan Fyfe?
That's the $200,000 question. If they're lofty terms to be met like Brownlow, grand final, All Australian incentives then I can live with that but if it's something like playing 16 games a year or making captain or something like that then I'd rather that money go to one of our young Vic guys out of contract to offer them a fair deal to keep them here.

Reckon Hagdorn is just having a punt on the details in the effort to have the exclusive? Those terms seem off to me but I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement is made today.

The article states;

"$200,000 a year in additional service agreement earnings for Fyfe's extensive media commitments as well as endorsements with club and AFL approved preferred sponsors."

Is that even part of the cap? Or is this part of that special service agreement that some premium players get (think Buddy gets it too). Might only be $1.2MM from the actual cap? Ambassador role or something like that?

Yea that did cross my mind, too. $1.2M salary cap $200K marketing?

Exactly. There is a reason he "knows" the dollars but not the length of the contract. Anyone can guess at the dollars because it will never be officially confirmed or denied, but clubs will announce how long a contract is, so he can easily be proven wrong.
 
Drawing my own line, but $200k for marketing would tie in with the AFLX where his name was dropped.

No doubt the AFL would want to hit the ground running with the AFLX initiative and having a poster boy in Fyfe would certainly add interest to the concept.
 
Don't want him playing AFLX at this stage. Rehab his leg properly first and if he lasts next season, then he can play.
