Synbad it is a different game now - players cant choose where they want to go - there is a lot more money available and its now a full time job.
Cant blame them for hanging out for what they can get - Our coach has led the way at screwing the club for everything he can get and not performing so you cant expect the players to do anything different .
Its the way of the world I sorry and it aint gunner change anytime soon.
Oh if thats the case whats your beef with what Pagan is on???
And we offered Kosi more .. he stayed for less.
We offered Luke Power more.. he stayed for less.
We offered Robert Harvey more.. he has stayed for less.
Greg Healey??>less
Justin Leppitch???>less.
Brent Harvey???>Less
Nathan Burke???>less
As a matter of fact the only players that were going to jump ship ftrom their clubs, for MORE MONEY, last year belonged to us and they were all in the leadership group....
We have paid over the odds and received less per $ from senior players , ore than any other club.
I used to think our players played for us because they loved the club.... not because we had to pay MORE!!!...
Whats happened over the last decade is that because we looked after our own better than any other club.. 'our own' ended up thinking we should have to wipe their arses for them... pay them above market value.. pay for their taxes even....
How funny is that???
Players spitting the dummy at the club because they BELIEVE the club is responsible for their taxation affairs....
We had a long line of players contracting one Dave Allison to manage their financial affairs.. to the absolute detriment of this football club.
The least the idiot could have done is lodged 'Dog' Browns paperwork to the AFL so it doesnt implicate us on his greedy deals.
Jack Elliot.. the man who couldnt stand seeing Carlton players leave to other clubs and with the motto "We never rebuild at carlton " was cannon fodder for these blokes..
They all knew it!!!... the arse end of this lot of players and mentality just hated that they missed out on the cream when it came to their time.....
Doull... a newsagency in Jacana...
Some of these blokes made million dllar businesses out of this club.
And whilst i believe all players should get out of footy with more than just a newsagency in Jacana...i dont believe they have to drink the well dry...
Whats wrong with them???
Cant they make money with a very good income for themselves after footy??
they act as if they need the very last 1$ coin they can scrounge from the club or they will be out on the streets.
Its still hurting us....!!!
Im sure it will change when those players bugger off before they contaminate the kids.
My Beef with Pagan is the results he is acheiving -If he was performing I couldn't give a shit if we paid him 10 million. But his results are crap. Your bitch with the players is one of envy. You cant stand to see people acheive and be rewarded for their efforts you would rather see a battling prendagast or a struggling Wigans bust their gut but show little. I dont mind see our best players getting paid good money as they are our best .
You need to forget about the money and go and watch a game and look at who gets the ball - not at who is trying to get the ball. you keep trying to tell us they are soft cheap possessions - well there is nothing stopping the long list of players at our club who get 4 and 5 possesions a game going and collecting a few cheap ones.
You See Synbad you seem to have forgotten the most basic of concepts to our game and that is why we have the ball - they cant score .
kouta - campo - whitnal - and braddles got the ball - they were continually in our top 5-10 players - if the rest of our players performed like them we would be in this situation .
Elliott paid them that money because thats what others were offering for them - Do you think if someone offered that sought of money for wigans we would pay to keep him - No bloody way - why because he is shit.
