Dont get me wrong here - but on bang for buck Roo was probably the worst performer in the AFL in 2011.

And I'd say Goddard not far behind him.(As far as Saints go, not necessarily AFL) We need both of them to consistently play at their best if we are to remain in the hunt this year IMHOCon Gorozidis wrote:we overcooked our contracts in 2009 i think!AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Farren Ray on $400K?

I fully agree. I had Zac in our 18 for 2012, but didn't manage to fit Farren into the 22, even though I quite like him. A very strange call, IMO, especially if we're paying Farren anything over say $250K.gringo wrote:He is good for 20 to 25 unexciting possessions per game, I would have kept Dwason over Faz but still like the way he goes about it. Strategically you would think a runner will push up the next year but fullbacks are harder o findBigMart wrote:One of the best runners at StK
His disposal is the biggest negative....
he was a consistent player 2009 and 2010......dropped form in 2011
20th in the B&F is not good enough for a player of his age/experience (25 and 140 odd games)
Yes he is a wingman/HB and can also do a run with.....very good overhead....and is bigger than most would think at over 6'1" and 85kg

Sammy was probably paid about $10,000 per kick in the last year or two of his contract and that's not an exaggeration.gringo wrote:You would have to say thats probably true for any a grader that has a down year due to injury. hamill was worse, he got payed for years with out getting on the park.Con Gorozidis wrote:we overcooked our contracts in 2009 i think!AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Farren Ray on $400K?

Hope those eyes don't roll out of your head there.SaintPav wrote:Seems like there are plenty of list management experts on this site who know exactly what players are worth and what they should be paid.
