Is it just me or is Jake Stringer actually putting on weight? And not the good kind.

Watching the game yesterday with some mates and they were calling him Stewy Dew! But Stewy Dew now not when he played.

There's certainly some hidden cobwebs with the whole McCartney saga....

You can't begrudge some of the players who left that year hearing how they were treated. Although some could have shown greater leadership in handling the situation.

Cooney was in trouble anyway , he admits his knee was stuffed and I think we didn't see anything in keeping him because of it.

I thought it was worth a thread of its own

Re: Following our ex's...................

I see Jarrod Harbrow chalked up his 150th game for Gold Coast this year and also took out their best and fairest this week.

He's signed a two year contract extension which should take him through to the 260-270 game mark.

It's a shame we lost him, he'd have been a very good servant. However, he would've earned almost double up there as he would've with us. Albeit sans a premiership medallion.

Interesting question: Owning two extra houses at career end, or owning a premiership medal?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. The two houses were guaranteed, a flag Probably 100–1 chance when he left.

Houses.

Houses.

Yep agree. Set yourself up for life.

Who knows what he could have commanded if he stayed with us, or what opportunities could have come his way.

Premiership medal. It's the whole point of playing the game. If you are playing to get rich and own houses then you are playing for the wrong reasons.

True that it’s hard to Crystal ball what might’ve happened had he passed through another sliding door. But: Inreckon it’s fair to say that had Harbrow stayed put with us, he’d have moved from between $250 to $350k p.a. And after some time earning the right to be pressing for it.

At GC, with their cap space, capacity to pay overs to get him and need to pay generously to maintain senior players, he’d have commanded $450k plus per year for his eight seasons up there (which will become 10. I have a feeling that, as b&f an example would be made to his teammates that loyalty is rewarded. I’d expect he’s on a very good wicket.

Ten years earning around $150k p.a. more than he would have with us, equals a rough “two houses” estimate. With no success. If he’d stayed with us, he’d have a medallion, but his bank account would be a lot smaller.

But it’s just a hypothetical.

Spot on. No one needs several houses.

Premierships are why you play park football. Professional football is more complicated than that.
