If I ever see another bail out at GC again I’ll spew
How the hell can a club just hand out a $12m deal in the biggest deal in history is laughable

Reckon with the new CBA, we'll start to see it a fair bit

 

[South of the Yarra]

A Victorian club offered Mac Andrew 12 million for 8 years but has now signed with GC.

 

[mumblingpie]

It’s basically a 5 yr deal though

Thats right
5 years.
With a games trigger for another 4, so really its currently (until he hits the. trigger) not as long as it is reported.

I reckon GC have just cursed Mac’s career. That deal is crazy.

Apart from Taberner, I've never heard of these guys.

The only saving grace is that it has a trigger clause, so if career trajectory doesn’t go as planned at least there’s some sort of fail-safe. I’d be interested to know what the triggers are though.

How long into the deal does he get home sick and requests a trade back to Vic? these deals are getting out of hand.

Their media guys are the best.

There is one other saving grace - he was on Melbourne's NGA list, and they missed out!

Right? Like, in isolation if everything goes to plan, he becomes a premier KPP of the comp and he wants to stay at GC for his whole career, then Scodog10 probably ends up being correct and it’s a bargain. But there are so many variables. What happens if he hits his triggers but in year 6 gets an injury that hampers him for the next 4? What if he gets Lynch hamstrings during that period? What if he decides he wants to come back to vic in a few years but nobody believes he’s worth that contract anymore? Suddenly GC are in a Grundy situation where they have to pay a chunk of that massive salary for nearly a decade?

Those kind of contracts scare the shit out of me, and they did even before we gave Grundy his.

I’m not agreeing nor disagreeing with your post here just offering some context to my own.

Knowing what we now do does 9 years at $12m signed back in 2017 seem reasonable for Moore? We’re talking about a guy that’s shown roughly the same, but without the injury profile Moore had across his first 3 seasons. That contract would have seemed mad back in 2017 $’s, but would now be when it actually kicks into gear when $1m is par for the course for that type of player. The equivalent in 2024 $’s is closer to $18m over the life of the deal Andrew has signed.

The biggest flaw in it is going to be 2-3 years from now when he’s on $600-800k and there’s offers coming thick and fast at $1.5-2m pa. What it highlights to me is the need to find a couple of elite talls to come through our system because we’ve got Naicos through to the end of the decade on give or take $1m a year. How do you go out big game hunting when you’ve got the best player in the game taking unders? We can hardly throw $1.5m at JUH next time he’s off contract after what he dished up on Friday night, but that’s what it’ll take to dislodge him…

You need a top drawer FD to attract talent within a defined pay structure. We currently don’t have that efficient FD which is why the draft should be our focus, IMO.

Still got to make the GF. I'm sure someone thinks they're a sure thing to beat them after they bypass Port this week
