Roast Stealing a wage

[Toump Ass]

Trac, Viney, Oliver had a combined six tackles on the weekend.
That's as many as Lindsay had in his 2nd game.

Useless, overpaid campaigners. At least Viney has an excuse (he's washed).

 

[PhatBoy]

Oscar Allen has 140! Career goals

At the same age the much maligned Jake Stringer had 240.

Allen is paid nore than Stronger.

Amazing how certain players get a free ride om bigfooty while others cop it

If you look like a choir boy (Andrew McGrath, Oscar Allen) you get a free ride on here.

At the same age Jake Stringer had played 138 games and over half of them had been in winning teams.

Allen has won 42 matches, the last three and a half seasons have been in some of the worst teams of the last 15 years, and Stringer has not been maligned for what he did early on, he’s been maligned for what he’s done (or not done) since.

Oscar Allen has 140! Career goals
He's 26.

At the same age the much maligned Jake Stringer had 240. Stringer now on 367.

Allen is paid nore than Stringer.

i havent been around enough to comment on whether McGrath cops it here but I tell you he gets it at games and in the media generally he gets flogged

Jack Martin needs a mention too.

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Jack Martin needs a mention too.

injuries have set him back more than anything, not sure if its his preparation though...

 

[Orange crush]

Zac Williams definitely deserves to be on here. Lachie Fogarty be on peanuts so not sure he'd be one I'd classify in that range. Also actually tries unlike some of these players, he's just not very talented.

It never ceases to amaze how many gws boys were poached on big money and never produced. …. Treloar Steele and Cameron about the only 3 that have earned their dollars (I’ll accept Boyd was probably worth it for his grand final performance)

 

[nick1408]

Winston Bogarde from Chelsea is the king of this thread

At least Winston knew he was on good money and did everything he could to keep the money coming.

 

[uzabuz]

Tom Papley since the GF

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Nick Haynes must love getting his match payments for his spuddery

will hoskin-elliot wasn't taking for huge $$$ or anything but he got a decent penny, he has been really solid for the pies for years

Yeah solid for what he’s earning, with occasional very good games …. Same as Bobby

I second this, Carlton relatives and friends were calling him the thief during his last couple of years at Carlton

how I didn't think of hill is kinda mind blowing lol such a collingwood icon now i forgot he wasn't with us, think its fair to say collingwood got a steal there

 

[jarrod_island_doggies]

He's 26 years old!

7th season. 95 games. One of the highest paid players in the AFL.

Thief.

That's almost 16 games a year averaged out - with the caveat of injuries in recent seasons that we all know about?

Bizarre thread

He’s in the Boyd category … earned his money with one great game

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Howe is certainly earning his keep at the moment incredible considering his injury history and he's 34

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Nick Haynes must love getting his match payments for his spuddery

His performance against the Tigers is one of my fave Carlton spud moments, almost up there with McGovern spraying a shot after the siren in Pendles 400th. Blues finding new ways to disappoint the faithful never stops being great.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Might be early, but didn’t this bloke get $900k from the Pies?

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

Hill is consistently great though... had a massive finals series and was our top goal scorer

was awesome against GWS, played very well against Port in a thumping and was forced into the backline 1 min into the game against WB because our Murphy replacement did his ACL so those stats don't really make sense considering its measuring him across positions.


You pay extra to get players for sure, but Pies getting so many recruits because of the club culture PR stuff is a huge benefit to the team and the constant topping up is 100% worth it. Perryman has had a strong start to the season.

had to be swung back after Reef did his ACL and have to pay overs for free agents

exactly RE: Perryman

Not bizarre at all. We have a key fwd at 26yo in the top 10% paid players in the comp who has managed just 140 career goals .

Ben King is only 24 and already up to 190.

His brother Max almost never plays. He's always injured. Also 24yo. 159 goals.

It's time to admit Allen is just not very good and no longer "a young talent".

Oscar will never get close to Jake Stringer career goal tally. Bookmark it.

 

[jdisc]

Gee, did Jayden Hunt shit in your breakfast or something?

Cole was one of our best today.

Allen's been average this year but has runs on the board.

Quaynor and Fritch? wtf?

Seems like you just picked a bunch of names out of a hat and only ended up getting Petty correct.

bro had possession/goal bets on these players that didn't pay out and he's never forgotten

 

[jdisc]

Which players are either over rated, over paid, or regularly not putting in the effort in the two hours a week that matter, game day.

I'll start

Ben McKay (is he the most over paid player in AFL/VFL history?)
JUH
Dylan Shiel
Andrew McGrath
Jade Gresham
Lachie Fogarty
Mitch McGovern
Isaac Quaynor
Tom Cole
Oscar Allen
Jayden Hunt
Tom McDonald
Bailey Fritsch
Harrison Petty
Nat Fyfe

I'll continue your list

Adam Treloar
Tom Liberatore
Jordan Dawson
James Sicily
Zak Butters
Hayden Young
Max Gawn
Andrew Brayshaw
Harris Andrews

Jordan Dawson and Tom Liberatore are going well. Andrews just won a flag so think hes going ok. Sicily going well.

Not sure what your point is? Are you trying to be clever?
