Would you rather be at a Saints Premiership or have $10m

That's Geoff Ogilvy's conundrum.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/car ... 69622.html

FOOTY fans have been known to do some crazy things to enable them to see their team play, especially in a grand final, but occasionally one has to draw the line somewhere.

Do you think I could buy a premiership for 9 million and keep 1 million for myself.

With ten million id buy as many valiant chargers as i could find id forget about st kilda just like that

Winmarvellous · Tue 15 Sep 2009 4:23pm

Give me the $10 million. HOwever, if you're making the money Ogilvy is making the conundrum isn't so great. I'm sure he could live quite healthily on his earnings thus far, and his reputation.

If he makes $10M a year, and this is a chance to double that, then it's a totally different argument.

I'd be happy to pass on my yearly salary if it meant seeing the Saints win a flag. Heck, i'm probably gonna have to part with a fair chunk of it to get my hands on a ticket anyway!!!!

$10M for mere mortals like most of us here is a lot of cash. But for a guy who plays golf for a living, and makes a truckload doing it, can't be compared.

geoff ogilvy is almost 2000 points behind steve stricker and over 2000 points behind tiger woods

He isnt going to win the fedex cup and take home the 10 million prize for doing so, yeh he would be giving away a great cheque for the week, but should the saints get over the bulldogs id be on the first plane home. He doesnt need the cheque, the level he has played the last few years he is set for ever, playing the richest tour int he world guranteed for the next 5-10 years.

Being basically the same age as geoff, obviously a very rare thing to see the saints in a grand final should the make it. Id be straight home

I mark my titleist the same way as geoff, had to adapt that a few years ago when I seen that on his ball

Saints premiership.

marksnsparks · Tue 15 Sep 2009 4:45pm

I'd have the $10M and use it to make the new facilities at Seaford twice as good. Should hopefully multiply our premiership count many times.

Im not sure the PGA would really like you to miss their biggest tournament or his sponsors for that matter to watch a game of footy. Important for him and us but they couldnt give a stuff about it so he may lose more than just the prize money. I think there would be people who live in Melbourne that are working on the Saturday that will also choose work. Im sure he will stay all night to watch it.

Premierships are harder to get than $10mil

Winmarvellous · Tue 15 Sep 2009 4:58pm

I know what I'd be chosing. I'd gladly quit my job if they wanted me to work on Grand Final weekend, Saints or no Saints. With the Saints involved, they wouldn't have a chance in hell of me turning up.

haha yeah told my boss it would be silly to roster me on for that saturday, and the sunday

stinger · Post: # 820408Post **stinger** » Tue 15 Sep 2009 5:44pm

no contest...flag ..first second and third.....money doesn't warm your heart or make you feel happy...

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Tue 15 Sep 2009 5:46pm

premiership definitely..... i bet Geoff would easily buy saints a flag if he could. The experience of being at the G would be greater than any money.

Money can't by you happiness, but a premiership sure as hell can.

yeah...that's when i thought our next one was coming after the win in 1966,,,,

ozrulestrace · Tue 15 Sep 2009 7:22pm

I'd come home to watch the Saints in GF.

There is no guarantee he would win the $10 million as golf is just as fickle as AFL in terms of winning.

He's waited as long as any of us and to be back in Melbourne would be worth more than all the millions he could earn that weekend .

Some come home fellow Sainter-you won't regret it

Schillaci · Post: # 820486Post **Schillaci** » Tue 15 Sep 2009 7:44pm

I'd take the $10mill and be pretty sure it'd make me happy....no happier.
A Saints premiership would make me happy but not for as long as the $ would. Easy choice. Life changing for the whole family.

Now if I was Ogilvie with his $ in the bank and future earning capacity the possibility of seeing a Saints premiership would be worth more. A different choice but still an easy one to make.

Perspective .... different things to different people.

satchmo · Post: # 820519Post **satchmo** » Tue 15 Sep 2009 8:09pm

Given the likelihood of the options, I'll say definitely Saints Premiership!

reincarnated · Tue 15 Sep 2009 8:46pm

Follow Reincarnated and back yourself to make all the money that you will ever require and then some more to satisfy the ego.

The premiership
