Nein.Nyet.No.

People like whatsinaname are killing this board and I suspect the reason why so many people have left or don't post anymore. So if Wells broke a collar bone would that be the coaches fault too? Go and get a hobby or drag yourself down to Punt Road and mingle with like minded people there.

wow, way to overreact.

That's self evident.

Anyway I think it's great that Wellsy is coming to Collingwood, but feel a little sad that many posters here have no concept of humour.

in what universe could your eternal negative rants and biased opinions be interpreted as some form of humour?

I was shocked at that.

I'd rather us have paid him $200K over 8 years, play him for 2 years and then absorb the $200K per year over the remaining 6 years - it's not that much compared to TPP. That would make sure we're no locking up too much on one very old player.

No overreaction going on here. Your clear disdain for the club and everything it stands for is disgraceful. Look at your signature FFS. Seriously go and smoke some cigars with that other flog! No one wants to hear your rubbish.

Glad you not managing the TPP.

WE have cap room in the short term. Paying overs now (short term), doesn't hurt the list. In the long term, I'd hope the likes of Degoey, Moore, Shaz, Broomy, Adams, etc are all demanding big increases because of their great performances and team success. By then Wells will have retired.

I thought his was an english speaking bulletin board !

No, Mr Cigar. I'll give you the quiet tip, if you and all your mates on this site were right about Bucks, then I would intuitively suggest these players would not be coming to Collingwood to play. Players talk to players, friends talk to friends and if it was as bad as you think, then the players would be steering well clear of the Pies.

Yes of course, nothing to do with 600k for 3.

1. He had an offer of 2 years at $500k per year from North.
2. Don't believe everything that journalists write. Suggest it will be 2 years at $600k and like Cloke's 5th year, the 3rd year salary will depend on targets being hit in years 1 and 2.
3. Liam Pickering is the manager of Aish, not sure if he manages any more Collingwood players, but he used to manage Pendles, so if you don't think Pickering put Wells in touch with at least those 2 players to suss out the lay of the land then you are naive.
4. North will not win a flag in the time that Wells has remaining in the game. Suggest that he can see a list at Collingwood that has been rebuilt, that is young and injuries permitting is on the rise and he is hoping he can be part of a Collingwood premiership before he retires. I wouldn't bet against that happening.

I'm not sure if this still applies, but I think a player his age has only half his salary credited against the salary cap, which makes it easier to pay top dollar for older players.

Unfortunately, no RudeBoy, has to be continuous service at the one club to qualify for the veterans list and the salary cap relief.

That's a nice sounding scenario, but in truth I reckon he's simply gone after the money - and at his age, he'd be mad to do otherwise.

From what is reported about Wells's character, I very much doubt it has anything to with money.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

MT and DD - I suggest you both tell McMurphy and The Chief to return the bus and go home.

YES ! Welcome to the Woods Daniel, may you feature prominently in our next Finals campaign !

Damien Barrett had Harvey playing with us, apparently this isn't true seeing he retired.

You believe what you want to believe about the money, not going to try and convince you otherwise.
