Speculation Luke Davies-Uniacke [RFA 2025]

[Taylor]

Mate, with the inflation, all of them will.

I understand on this forum, people are going to trivilise player x going there, plenty of cap, this and that.

To get a player of this calibre moving team, that team needs to tick quite a few boxes.

Money and opportunities are not issues.

Luke Davies-Uniacke has won a career total of 19 games, almost half of which were in his first two years, with one draw and plays his 100th game next.

He is losing 80% of his games for his career.

I don't think a club will have to buy him with big dollars if he isn't believing in the future at North.

North only need to show something next season and you'll retain him because you can pay him as much or more than anyone else - but that might not be what motivates him this contract.

Thanks for all the speculation - time to close the thread

He is getting more than a million a year - if he stays or goes.

If that isn’t big dollars you must be doing very well in life.

$2m for Parker is a bargain. North would be stupid not to do it.

I'm going to say it so it's perfectly clear, he could leave for less money because he wants to experience success.

It makes it easier for North to match, especially if it means it's not band one compensation.

A side like Geelong loves to sell the value of success.

Sounds like he will accept less money and stay.

Because loyalty means something to him.

I'd be glad to see it.

Geelong is successful? with 10 players 33 or older and 2028 event horizon. Yes mate.

Don't think so, i highly doubt anyone can beat us on $$$

Their coach does currently have one of the highest win percentages ever.

Just reported:

Clubs would be prepared to offer $1.5 million a season over seven years if he turned his back on the Roos.

He is taking less to stay. Looks like your theory was a swing and a miss.

He just said he’s staying and that money isn’t that important to him. He’ll sign for around a mill p.a knowing that asking for more will impact the teams success

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Bit. Sad to grasp on to a player if they are unhappy to be there.

Thoughts and prayers Horace.

He's staying. Stiff sh1t!

Get over it Taylor. He's staying.

Their coach? You mean that person who thought T.Thomas still deserved a second chance or the one who doesn't believe the club needs to rebuild even though 3 years of draft blackhole in a few years will hit them just as all their veterans retire...

The 1.5 x 7 probably was true and if i may take a punt, it was adelaid if it was an interstate team or saints if that was a victoria team.

From recent memory, the only player who left for money was benny brown...and also to do with no. years.

Well you don’t have many to spend it on. Are you saying McKay is getting less at Essendon?

 

[hilly]

Thought he was going to WC via the pre-season draft?

 

[ChairmanZia]

We don't have many to spend, ummm if there is one thing we have a lot of then it's cap space.

I believe i said benny brown is the only player who left due to money plus other issue.

People have been predicting Geelong falling for a very long time, they won a flag in that period where their veterans were supposed to fall over.

They have been if you don't count the 2022, 11 years thereabouts. If 2022 didn't happen, it would be the lost decade.

They WILL be in far worse position in the years to come as they entrench in the midtable.

I am looking at the ladder now, over the next few years teams like melb, port, geelong, lions, hawthorn, saints will occupy the 7 to 13th position. These are the no-man's zone due to no draft and not strong enough to be a chance for flag.

Making things worse are the 2028 - 2031 event horizon of heavily affected draft due to tasmania.

Melb port geelong better start rebuilding right now in order to navigate the coming storm that is 2028.
