Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
While I don't like the process this is going to be happening regularly.
As long as we get adequately compensated for his services if he is to depart then we can't complain too much.

Peter Gordon on his 774 slot said that there is no way JJ is going anywhere and he will be signed up.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
It's the new landscape - any player than doesn't immediately commit creates a thousand rumours about wanting to leave.

Gordo can say that..and probably has to say that, but it does seem at odds with Bevo's & JJ's own management's statement.
What alarms me is if he does get the premium contract.. how does that sit with his teammates, many of whom -if they want to stay together - are going to have to agree to take less than full market value.
We simply won't be able to keep our stars in the team if they all expect market value.
I am a little disappointed in JJ's mindset, and it has the potential to be quite disruptive to the team first ethos that was the bedrock of their success last year.
hope he has a change of mind with some time to think through his priorities.

Agreed. What if all our good players say I want to stay with the Dogs and keep the team together but I want an extra 100k per season?
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

If they all play to their potential, 22 of them get $30,000 for every premiership they win. If they want to back themselves in for more money, then they can start right here.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
I was just reflecting on last night's win against Sydney and saying to my wife "Everyone of them played well last night. No one was really down..."
Then I thought to myself, "Well, come to think of it, Johannisen was sub-par.."
Hopefully not the start of one of those "putting off contract talks" form dips..

When he got run down, my mate said his value just dipped a few 100k

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
I hope JJ re-signs as he was very good again last night but now I think being premiers we are going to expect to be circled by the 'sharks' but will be dissapointed if he did go but if he did we need to get a bloody good offer in return.

Funny isn't it , they could do 50 things right in a game but do one thing wrong and that's how a player is remembered.
Just reflect on the gf he did a lot of things wrong but still won the norm smith . It's not always about the right and wrong things, it's about how you played for the team . His objective in the gf was obviously to get the ball as many metres forward as you can. Didn't seem to matter it went to the opposition a lot, the fact was they had to start again to bring it back all that way .

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Sunday Footy Show on JJ:
Barrett: To get him out of the dogs, needed $750,000
Cornes: He's a $550,000 player
Lloyd: He's a $600,000 player
No one thinks he's worth the $750,000 allegedly required to get him to request a trade. I'd love to know what our offer was/is.

Seems a decent offer, or at least close enough to do a deal if pushed for another $50,000 or an extra year. Seems to me like he's got a shit agent.
