It's kind of why we're in the state we're in. The club is too loyal to its players. Them offering Shuey another year and hoping Naitanui would get up for next year was gross gross negligence on their part.

If I had one guess I'd say it was Bartlett. Bloke got ousted in the year they won the flag and has been grinding an axe ever since.

Lyon’s use of the phrase “on the nose” is just chef’s kiss
Have to say I wouldn't blame him for leaking after having players/coaches on the gear and raising ways to address and then getting booted.
Seems their Board is in the old school Woosha camp.
Woosha - "Thanks for coming in Ben, are you on drugs?"
Benny Boy - "No John".
Woosha to Nisbett, Board and media - "I never saw any evidence of Ben being on drugs".
Media - "But you asked him if he was on drugs".
Woosha - "Well I had hear some disturbing media stories and I asked him and he told me no. What more could I done".
In this instance it is the players who are loyal to the club and don't bail out. Could be that we are considered a soft touch by the players or alternatively no-one came a knocking.
Just watching the Saints vs the Crocs on YouTube atm - Jarrod Brander of WCE fame plays for the Crocs. He has filled out, big lad now compared to his days with us.
Kicked 4 goals in this game too. I am just in the 1st Q but he's already causing problems.

McKay must be laughing his arse off.
Good on the bloke for being in the right place at the right time and making bank.

“The Bombers opted to stump up on the cash front to trigger a band one compensation pick back to North Melbourne, which currently stands as pick three.”
I have a problem with this as it gives clubs room to game the system. It’s not fair for the competition if north can manufacturer a pick 3 for a crab and push everyone’s picks back.
May as well set up an AFL survivor and clubs put their best candidate to see who can survive until the end for pick 1

would be great if he requests a trade elsewhere once that 1.5mill drops to 500k in the last 2 years.Report: McKay's eye-watering 2024 salary likely to make him league's most expensive player

Begs the question - why is the compo calculated on the first year instead of the average over the life of the contract?
Wanna know why? Coz the AFBushLeague is making it up as they go along to get the results they desire.

It's the VaFL. There are no such loopholes for out of state clubs that aren't completely beholden to VaFL House.
I believe Brisbane also rigged their Daniher contract to get Essendon better compensation. Spot the common link.
The Bulldogs and Geelong ones got me.

So is the article poorly worded or I'm just a complete retired?
Opening myself up to a latter or both here.

You're very kind.
Being a big fish in a small pond is all that he has in him.

Would be even better if it causes Essendon to cook their list balance as players move to earn more and they spend another 20 years in the wilderness.
