You’re kidding yourself. If you could get the best deal possible from your employer for your work you’d take every cent. Grundy got a great deal for himself and the club were silly enough to pay it, I say we’ll done Broady. He does a great job as our ruckman, not worth $1 mill but make the money while you can. Take it up with whoever signed off on the deal.
And lets face it, contracts are based on predictions of future performance - they are always going to get some wrong. And whilst he's obviously currently being overpaid relative to performance, many seem to forget that he was probably the most underpaid relative to performance in 2018 and 2019.
I daresay he wants to be proven right.
Sidey played wing all game
Maybe but it changes expectations of players. You can't play out your career being paid a million a year at the level of a player earning half your salary without expecting to cop a bit of flak.
Wanting a player to fail so you're proven right is a bit shit. Especially when that player plays for the team you support.
And has been such a magnificent servant of the club, who according to rumours has historically always played for unders. He's got his verve back which he lost briefly and we're so much better for it.
That's great for Grundy, and anyone would be happy to get far more from an employer than they are worth or will produce. Doesn't mean that fellow employees are not going to grumble that their colleague is undeserving of such rich rewards, nor in Grundy's case, that supporters are going to remain silent for 7 years while he produces nothing more than a half decent ruck is capable of doing.
And it will for the next 7 years unless he reproduces his pre-contract form.
Not sure that the game plan is a "revelation". It reminds me greatly of how the team played in 2018 and much of 2019 and how Richmond played during their premiership years"
It’s a long season, and ruck is a hard position to play at, let see how he is towards the season end first before sticking the boots in.
Maybe "revelation" was a strong characterisationNot sure that the game plan is a "revelation". It reminds me greatly of how the team played in 2018 and much of 2019 and how Richmond played during their premiership years"
It's certainly different to 2020 and 2021 (the Covid hub years), which I suspect is due to a number of factors.
Agree that it's certainly interesting and exciting to watch!!
We should leave Bucks out of this.
We are the employer , the supporters , the members , who put their hard earned money towards our club and its players , he put his hand up and demanded that contract , and as a collective , he needs to back it up by delivering to justify his performance and what he produces. He stuck his hand out , he needs to put his hands up and earn it , if not , he is open to be called out , We are the employer
What a load of crap.
You’re one of those guys who acts like a dick towards waiters and retail workers because you ‘pay their wage’ aren’t you?
Disagree about 2019. We crabbed it that year.Not sure that the game plan is a "revelation". It reminds me greatly of how the team played in 2018 and much of 2019 and how Richmond played during their premiership years"
