Anyway, do you actually know whether Petrie is presently being paid more than Cloke? I think you might be quite surprised.
Finally, I sense a slight irony in you calling Collingwood's premiership CHF a "muppet" and then asking me to "settle down" when all I did in response to your post was offer my take on your desire for Petrie based upon some statistical material.
Hmmm. sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. ! Actually, offering him $700K+ per year, SHOULD have us in a very strong bargaining position. On Clokes recent and prolonged, very poor output, his price is dropping steadily, and id say suitors like the Dockers are having big second thoughts about offering a million a year to a guy who returns around 1-2 goals a game, if that. ! These clubs are not fools, Cloke is no longer king of the contested marks, and they would note his huge falling off in form, they arent idiots. I would say he and his old man would do very well to accept our MORE than generous offer, right now, and put this whole sorry saga to bed, once and for all.Pies4shaw wrote:I'm right with you, PnC. With all those fit, firing alternative CHFs to choose from, the 'Pies are in a really strong bargaining position. I say they give Travis an ultimatum. Personally, though, I think they should give it to him on the eve of the first final - 'cause that will help the team to focus.
