Worst Leaders in the AFL!

How many free agents have been signed to be a role player at there club?

Technically they all have.

We seem to be the only club in the AFL foreign to the concept of role players, and just expect to push blokes out there, play their best and we shall win somehow because they are worth a million bucks a year.  If Tom Boyd was at Carlton he would be being absolutely smashed right now, because the bloke has misfired spectacularly thus far.

The concept of "role" is a bit ambiguous, and surely trades and de-listings count, but with some limited scope on the idea of "a role" and not the "all players have a role" approach;

Does Everitt qualify?

How about Laidler, technically a de-listing but it seems to fit!

Betts in the Adelaide FP!

How many have not?

There would be 5 people voting on every game, 1 would include Mick.

Mick alone could not get him into the top 10 if thats what you are suggesting.

A lot of people had higher expectations of Daisy and marked him harshly. Others disliked him because he is seen to be 'Micks boy' and that rubbed them the wrong way. Ultimately i think it was the fact that his role changed regularly and only the MC knew what was expected of him and if he performed it or not.

His on 700K a year.  This figure is what any successful entity would base his performance on.....therefore finishing 10th in a B&F is a fail regardless of which way you choose to spin it.

I like Daisy as he shows true grit with his pressure acts and at his best he would be a consistent top 3 B&F finisher but it clear he is no where near what he was and IMO very unlikely to get even close to it.

Considering the hefty price we paid looks very much like another Blues trading failure as he is not getting any younger.

Hope I'm wrong but all signs point to me being correct.    ;D

I think we need to move on from the notion That wages are anything but what you pay to get a player to switch clubs.

I.e.  Shaun Grigg got 450k a season to switch to Richmond.

At the time that was way overs.

That's what it took to get him over.

Tom Boyd is on a massive contract based on potential and former draft pick status.  He is not worth that money (yet).

We paid Thomas, what will be an average b grade midfielder wage to get him. 

Finish.  It doesn't mean he needs to be our best performing player nor does he being injured make it money wasted.

Are you being serious? our expectations at CFC are seriously shit if you believe that

Actually Grigg went over for around 300k not sure where you pulled 450k for. You cannot be serious suggesting 700k is a B-grade midfielder's wage.

It will be next season. Watch.

450k is what we offered him to stay and he went anyway.

I am being serious.  There is some stupid money being thrown around to get players to shift clubs, and we are taking exception about wages, when the club have made a call. 

Some will pay off others will not.

Welcome to modern football. You won't get every draft pick right, you will lose free agents some you don't want, and players will get traded.

Favourite players will get axed, you will lose games, you will not enjoy it like you used to and the unthinkable will happen frequently.

You can get annoyed about it, or accept that this is the way things go.

I think from memory the main reason Grigg left was because he wouldn't be a certainty to be in our starting 22. he would have to earn his spot. Richmond assured him he would almost always be a starter in the squad. They made him feel carried, I mean loved.
