Which is the better deal?

Post: # 1387783Post maverick »

Daisy Thomas 5 years @ $750K a year or
BJ 4 years @ $800k a year.

Appreciate neither would suit us, but which is the better deal?

I reckon Carlton's getting the better deal myself.

You would never want a player on a 5 year deal in my opinion, especially given the fact that he's just had almost an entire season of no footy.

He's 26, that means he'll be a 31 year old on 750k.

Will come back to bite.

I hope Mick absolutely destroys their cap on a guy that can't get on the ground, that would be sweet.

Carlton need key forwards more than outside run.

Good luck to them.

At least Goddard plays nearly every game.

Both are crap deals for the sides taking them and daisy should do as BJ did and take it.

Is that fact he's been offered 5 yrs at 750k or just talk ?

If fact, he should run as fast as he can and take it. Good player, yes, worth that coin ? No way.

They don't need to.

Collingwood would give him 500 max, so why 750?

Why would you give a 5-year deal (and 750K at that) to a guy who has been chronically injured for close to 18 months and still isn't going to be recovered for a few months?

Because he is a gun.
I would go close to saying without him playing for the Pies in 2010, we would have won GF1.

BJ as he is able to play
Thomas for the last couple of years has had allot of injury concerns , 2012 he played most games but was his form was a shadow of the previous 3 and this year he couldn't get on the park . This can all turn around of course but you'd be taking a big risk .

Dunno. BJ is very resilient. Hardly ever injured.

Id say neither is a great deal but the answer surely is 'whoever plays the most games'?

I don't care how many clubs offer ludicrous deals to players to get them to their club, as long as the Sants don't do anything idiotic..

We haven't seen the biggest deal yet, if it eventuates, Buddy to GWS, that has the potential to F*** them for years if he doesn't deliver. Half their cap per year :lol: :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Funnily enough, buddy's reported 2 mil per year is close to the difference in our cap to theirs... Bit like Tippett.
