News North offer for Maynard

[Poopybum22]

Reckon he's an upgrade on Luke McDonald and Darcy Tucker.

the average Auskicker is

 

[koshari]

100%

5mil over 6 years is about 800k which is about right to get Maynard out of Collinwood imo. Less than 850K.

Less than magoo

 

[kangaanth]

Many times worse than the Polec deal.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Wouldn’t have an issue if it was 4 years @ 850-900k. Especially when the likes of Perryman and Battle got that sort of $$ during free agency last year.

5-6 years on 1 mill just seems overs to me. there are risks at his age that his output drops considerably once he is 32-33 and we are left paying for a further two years of mediocre output. Personally, think that sort of dosh should be left for the absolute top tier of players (or key position players) but I guess a million dollar per year is going to be far more common as the salary cap increases in the coming seasons.

Going away from the $ and contract, he is just about the perfect player for our backline. Hard nosed, physical and is a good decision maker. Rarely gets beaten and is the sort of player who inspires others with his acts of courage on field. He’d compliment Daniel perfectly.

The world we are in now, TDK wouldn’t even answer the phone for $1.3 mill over 7 from us.

What was the saints offer for TDK. $1.7 mill a year over 7 years? And looks like he’ll still stay.

So you would offer Leek Aleer 1 mill a year, for 6? A guy who has played a dozen games? Surely that is a bigger risk than a known commodity in Maynard?

And does Aleer bring the other stuff off the field that most recognise that Maynard does?

Think you're confusing Fin Callaghan for TDK. The Saints were after Callaghan with the 1.7m offer.

I was thinking the same. That being said, we’ve been overpaying non performing players, or not paying the cap, for years. It’s not like we are running out of cash any time soon, and these days you can just offer another long contract and back end to the next one.
Another reason the cap is a joke.

Yep just look at Haynes

We’re the experts at making the wrong moves

 

[Chadwiko]

Really dislike Maynard, but could make peace with him on a 3 or even 4 year deal.

6 though? At his age? That would be a monumentally dumb move by our club.

It’s called the Collingwood tax and we should be honoured to participate in getting bent over.

 

[koshari]

Ccj off the books and a modest increase in tpp. only the term that i not sold on.

No.

It’s got f*** all to do with Collingwood.

The tax we’re paying is the you’ve been shit forever and getting any player to come to you is hard tax.

Pay cap space and no draft capital get a bloke who actually gets stuck into opposition? Sign me up.

[My Left Foote]

FFS we need all the help we can get, particularly in defence, if that means paying $100K - $200K a year more and tacking an extra year on the contract then who gives a shit if it helps us win more games because what we have down back right now isn’t setting the world on fire.

 

[Nylex]

6 years for a back pocket..no thanks

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thats such a risky contract.

But man, he's exactly what we could really use.

Cheaper than Ben Mckay though.

 

[Themanbun]

Big vote of confidence in our young defender group, lol

There is room for all of them. Especially as McDonald is cooked and Corr isn’t far off being cooked.

B: Goater, W.Dawson/Comben, Archer
HB: Daniel, Logue/Whitlock, Maynard

Bench: Hardeman.

We whinge about our blokes being soft and the list is filled with players with a losing mindset, so the club goes hard at a bloke that ticks both boxes, but 6 years instead of 4 and we shouldn’t do it….

‘what if we need to pay Riley Hardeman in 4 years time….’

Well how about we cross that bridge when we get to it. We need this bloke now. Our lack of a player like him stands out like dogs balls.

McDonald is the GOAT

 

[koshari]

McDonald is the GOAT

Possibly a goat rider is he is a card carrying masonic lodge member.

It doesn’t help when most of our draftees that play defence take years to come on

 

[Cool Kangas]

A. I don’t want him
B. He wouldn’t come anyway as it’s north
C. Does his brother work for north?

 

[FlyHigh18]

No one is debating that…

It’s the offer that is the issue

Should be max 800k for 4 years
Give a trigger for a 5th

… so that he can say no thanks?

 

[The Nostradamus]

… so that he can say no thanks?

I doubt he says no thanks to that

But if he does then that’s fine

 

[DunderHead]

The dollars are probably right but the wording in the report says ‘upto’ which means it’s almost certainly not 6 years.

That asid - I can’t workout why people are slagging him off. Or saying he’s the worst of their defenders. I think he’s Scott Thompson mark 2
