      I regret to inform, Rhys Palmer, has been de-listed by Carlton. Three clubs and very little impact in, the Rising Star Award winner was eking well until this.

      Such a horrible year for Eker losses.

          What a fantastic trade that was for Carlton

            I think it shows that they only picked up Palmer and his salary to secure Marchbank.

              8 years as a paid professional athlete for just 16 games means he will always be considered a top line Eker. Doing some back of a napkin type math, the average wage for a senior listed player over that 8 year period is say 250-300K. Let's split the difference and say $275K.

              Which means over 8 years he's made approx $2.2M..
              Which means he's earned himself $137,500 per senior AFL game.
              Which means his hourly rate in terms of pure top line senior AFL game time (2 hours of footy per game) is $68,750 an hour.

              What a legend!

                    Way too good at his peak to be considered.

                    Ours has to be Crozier right?

                      Also is Currie listed next year? Because that is genuinely hilarious if he is.

                        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                          Nice.

                          I hope he never plays again.

                            I remember the day Majak Daw kicked so many goals v us I had to look away. He's been cashing in on that performance for years since.

                              I remember that day. Five goals from Daw I couldn't watch in the end. And as you say. Living off that performance ever since
