Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?

[Bulldog Joe]

Apart from "gotta earn those dollars, no room for GLORY BOYS in the AFL", is there any tangible well-evidenced argument of exactly *why* the Boyd deal was bad? Have we experienced any negative effect stemming from it? Anything at all? We've re-signed everyone we've wanted to, still attracted free agents, haven't had to squeeze anyone out, haven't missed out on attracting anyone to the club, etc.

I've said it ad nauseum, but there really is nothing that gets you hated more easily and irrationally than having the nerve to make money playing AFL football.

Contrast the situation in Sydney(post Buddy), where they were unable to retain Shane Biggs (Thanks) or Nic Malceski.

They also lost Mumford to allow the deal to occur.

Did I hear a while back that 'Damo' blocks people on Twitter who challenge his opinions?

Apparently so.

Happily admitted it on his podcast. Anything negative and instantly blocked.

Yep. Like the prepubescent man baby his articles demonstrate he is.

I was just reading that Tom Scully has extended his contract with GWS. Can you believe that Tom Scully, a former number draft pick, was prized way from Melbourne in 2011 with a six year offer worth $6,000,000?

That's right, a player trade involving GWS and a Victorian club over a former first pick player and large contract has actually occurred before 2014. Only thing is, I don't recall Damett banging on about it really ever at all, let alone for two years. Or maybe I'm mistaken by the facts.

(Damett is not only a joining of his names, but it's also what I say when I've spent 60 seconds reading some shite column and realise it was his shite column and I've once again lost another 60 seconds of my life I can never regain. Use it and it'll stick and annoy the egomaniac, so please tell your friends to use it.)

Scully has now taken a pay cut.

Yes, Boyd may too. That's not the point.

Just a comment, understand your point.

That's GWS PR spin. He's extended his contract for less money (think it's approx $500k) than he's currently on because let's face it, who's going to continue to stump up the $1M for Tom Scully that he's been paid for the past few years. He's improved this year but he's the highest paid underachiever in league footy.

He's not taking a pay cut for the good of the team, he's just being paid what he's actually worth.

I hope we can engage in the same spin when Boyd's next contract is negotiated!

He's extended his contract for less money (think it's approx $500k) than he's currently on because let's face it, who's going to continue to stump up the $1M for Tom Scully that he's been paid for the past few years. He's improved this year but he's the highest paid underachiever in league footy.

A three time premiership vice captain, and twice Norm Smith medalist taking a pay cut. Hate to say this, but you're dreaming.

[Remi Moses]

They're talking Brad Scott, and Barrett's left and replaced by Judd
Bit to close to home Barrett?

Yep. If all go according to plan by the time we have to negotiate his next contract we will have to pay him far more than this contract pays. With Tom being the greatest player of all time and everything
