Rudeboy was clearly comparing relative salaries in the same industry. How you came to the conclusion he was suggesting Buddy and Greenwood are of similar ilk I don't know. Fantasizing in a blind attempt to be RIGHT perchance?CarringbushCigar wrote:You are putting Buddy and Greenwood in the same argument.
My primary concern is this is significantly a better offer than we could manage to present to Dale Thomas.

Hmmmmmmmmm....
It's significantly less than Daisy (with a bunged ankle) was offered. You know that, so please move on to another topic.CarringbushCigar wrote:Fatui Attata wrote:Rudeboy was clearly comparing relative salaries in the same industry.

Ooooh !! - the big guns are out.
Im not biting - i'll only repeat.
My primary concern is Greenwood's offer appears to be significantly better than we could manage to present to Dale Thomas.
My secondary concern is that this may be a bit knee-jerk, it looks like it has been hatched quickly. Concerned about due diligence.
Im not saying if its correct or incorrect for sure and I can't provide any evidence Lazza. In fact I hope it proves to be a stunning success.
If the Daisy thing don't concern u as an individual - its ok.
I'm just saying for me it does, if true.
And if true, i'm not sure what it does for morale and culture.
Not sure where you guys are seeing these figures. Reports I've seen (The Age) suggest that the Dogs offered the biggest contract. Ours was apparently similar to North's offer.John Wren wrote:i'm seeing $450k x 4 years. that seems overs not that i am a contract expert.swoop42 wrote:Money.John Wren wrote:really curious as to why he would want to leave a prelim finalist to go to a club that seemingly (according to some) has no hope.
Our deal probably guarantees he'll be at least half a million better off in 4 years time.

Looks like yr 7 maths pokes an old wound. I won't mention it againCarringbushCigar wrote:and i told u I'm not biting - because i really can't be bothered talking about year 7 maths
His manager, Liam Pickering, was on SEN this arvo and said that since the prelim final, Greenwood had met and had medicals with all clubs who were interested in him.CarringbushCigar wrote:Thank you this is the kind of information that is relevant.Joel wrote:Rodney Eade on Levi Greenwood at the Westpac Centre today: "We're certainly keen to get our hands on him.

Now I just hope we met him and it wasn't a satellite phone to Bali.
i saw the figures on that veritable source for trade info, facebook. i also thought he had been offered two years rather than the one but the latter seems to be the common consensus. pickers had been trying to deal with the roos since the middle of the season and got little traction. spunds like they hedged their bets and lost this one.AN_Inkling wrote:Not sure where you guys are seeing these figures.

And on why he would leave: he was initially offered only a 1 year contract after finishing second in their best and fairest. That's reason enough for the eye to wander. North seemed to be too busy chasing tail (Higgins, Waite, Varcoe) to worry about the players they already had.
I think he'll be a good addition. If his 2014 was not a flash in the pan then we've done well. Might be even be a useful tagging option while Caff is out.
Do you mean $500,000 a year or divided over 3 years?scoobydoo wrote:Arnt we paying Mason Cox the untried AmericanCarringbushCigar wrote:450k for 4 years is not huge money?
My god what planet do u live on?
Thats 25-30 years on an average wage is it not?
I just hope he fits in with the 'culture'.
500k over 3 yrs? In comparison Levi is getting pittance
