battle 9 months younger,118 games to 89 debuting same year,battle has been thrown forward with success & was lauded for one game when forced to ruck all day,can mckay do any of that stuff?well this year he hasnt got injured at leastWhich is why I said at least McKay is a 202cm KPD so it's no surprise they get paid overs. Also, $850K this year isn't that much given the significant increase in CBA. This is equivalent to $750K next year so his contract isn't even at the top end of players, arguably Essendon didn't overpay for him.
I search for similar KPD on afl.com.au to compared Battle's defensive metric as he is listed as a KPD (do you want to contact them to change this lol), $850K is worth $750K before the significant CBA increase so that's around his worth.battle 9 months younger,118 games to 89 debuting same year,battle has been thrown forward with success & was lauded for one game when forced to ruck all day,can mckay do any of that stuff?well this year he hasnt got injured at least
so hawks get an extra reason to play 1 ruck only(Meek),a 4th defender that can be effective moved into another position,especially to kick goals and clunk a mark up forward & a player with no injury history to speak of
thats why he is worth 6x 850k to us & probably more to the hawks to pry him out
selective statistician,we are onto you already
so he is a 193cm kpd that can win his position week in week out,pinch hit in ruck,or for a whole game if forced,be thrown forward to clunk a mark and kick a goal and has proven very durable,mckay is a 202cm kpd one trick pony who has an extensive injury history,that earned his former club band 1,whats your point?I search for similar KPD on afl.com.au to compared Battle's defensive metric as he is listed as a KPD (do you want to contact them to change this lol), $850K is worth $750K before the significant CBA increase so that's around his worth.
My point is McKay wasn't worth band 1, $850K is equivalent to $750K before the significant CBA increase so he wouldn't have receive a band 1 compensation with that contract this year so Essendon didn't overpay for him but at least he is a 202cm KPD.so he is a 193cm kpd that can win his position week in week out,pinch hit in ruck,or for a whole game if forced,be thrown forward to clunk a mark and kick a goal and has proven very durable,mckay is a 202cm kpd one trick pony who has an extensive injury history,that earned his former club band 1,whats your point?
well fact is he still triggered it and re battle,it only matters what he and hawthorn are thinking,then ultimately the afl,from all accounts we have offered what we feel he is worth and as an ufa its now out of our hands,but guys more qualified than any of us have labelled him a band 1 watch,so sit back and errrr"watch"My point is McKay wasn't worth band 1, $850K is equivalent to $750K before the significant CBA increase so he wouldn't have receive a band 1 compensation with that contract this year so Essendon didn't overpay for him but at least he is a 202cm KPD.
How can you say he wins his position?so he is a 193cm kpd that can win his position week in week out,pinch hit in ruck,or for a whole game if forced,be thrown forward to clunk a mark and kick a goal and has proven very durable,mckay is a 202cm kpd one trick pony who has an extensive injury history,that earned his former club band 1,whats your point?
He triggered it for the same reason Frawley triggered it.My point is McKay wasn't worth band 1, $850K is equivalent to $750K before the significant CBA increase so he wouldn't have receive a band 1 compensation with that contract this year so Essendon didn't overpay for him but at least he is a 202cm KPD.
Some people on here don't understand how the free agent market works and don't seem to want to learn.What's with the pissing contest
Hawks will get Battle
Saints will get Band 1
Both are locks, and both clubs will be happy with the result
Pushes our pick back
Hence the giving a shit
It doesn't work.Some people on here don't understand how the free agent market works
And saints will get band oneDon’t wanna take money from you
Battle will be a Hawk
Why is band 1 a lock, may I ask?What's with the pissing contest
Hawks will get Battle
Saints will get Band 1
Both are locks, and both clubs will be happy with the result
If Josh Battle garners band 1 compensation, FA compensation should be scrapped.
If he is getting band 1 compensation then we really do have a problem
Why is band 1 a lock, may I ask?
Increase to how much? Will need to be at least $5.7M for 6 years to be band 1.My source close to Battle told me we offered 6 yrs at 5m a month ago, since that time St Kilda upped their offer and so have we.
Deal will be done, all parties walk away happy.
You're worried about missing out on Draper, aren't you?!Increase to how much? Will need to be at least $5.7M for 6 years to be band 1.
You don't care your picks gets pushed down for someone like Battle??? Every supporters outside of North were pissed off McKay was offer band 1 last year. Just offer him enough to not trigger a band 1 compensation and he will still choose the Hawks as there's no way the Saints will offer him $950K.You're worried about missing out on Draper, aren't you?!
ive jus realised how gutless you are if you couldn't even tag meoh no just when things couldnt get worse yoda is back,my goodness,he must have spent the whole off season on the saints board last year,convincing us shiel was a great get for our compensation pick for gresham,then when it didnt happen he disappeared like a fart in the wind
at least he has started with a fair enough opinion on the battle issue,quit while your ahead yoda
hand balling isn't his job my friend
stopping his opponent, occasionally taking a mark is his job. you listen to David King too much. Try listening to Luke Hodge some more
Ok, not sure if that triggers band 1. Only the AFL would know where they want that to land.My source close to Battle told me we offered 6 yrs at 5m a month ago, since that time St Kilda upped their offer and so have we.
Deal will be done, all parties walk away happy.
troll on yoda,hows shiel going?give essendon a pick in the teens for him is a great deal,lol,now you will spend the next 6 weeks to 2 months refusing to get your head around this battle business,as you couldnt see past saints give up pick 13 or 14 for a 31yo crock and his bloated salaryive jus realised how gutless you are if you couldn't even tag me
jog on
Seem to recall the defenders didn't need to do much that game.Watching today’s game if Battle is worth a 1st Rd draft compo pick then Pauline Hansen is a supermodel.
Please explain?
Do those extra crowd members ensure he has financial security after his football career ends?Anyway
In other news
Battle would be watching games with Hawthorn play in front of 75-80k
Then playing infront of less than 20k
Pretty easy call he has made
