I remember too that he briefly feigned some interest in staying with us and managed to screw a few extra shekels out of the Tigers. I think he may have been o/s at the time so maybe it was his manager

450k is what we offered him to stay and he went anyway.
700k will Not be a b-grade midfielder salary next year Thry, and no one offered Grigg 450k a year.
Ignorance is bliss.

Was Daisy being chased by multiple clubs? I don't recall that he was.
Yes, some people are getting paid overs to join clubs, but if you seriously believe that if there was someone other than MM and Swan in charge of our club they would have taken Thomas, then you are deluded.
He was overrated by both Swan and MM due to their personal relationship. It happens all the time in business - it's called nepotism.
So enough with the bullshit of what Daisy brings to this club, because he's brought and brings nothing but takes a huge wage and the spot of a beloved and proven player in Eddie Betts!

2. Was anyone else chasing Betts? Free Agency basically means the player goes where he wants to go.
3. So enough with the bullcrap. 
1. Really? Why then did Thomas play the 'no contract negotiations until the end of the season' game?
2. Unrestricted free agents can go to their club of choice. Restricted free agents go to the highest bidder. We declined to match Adelaide's bid and Collingwood declined to match ours. I think Collingwood got that right.
3. Agreed

Its probably safe to say Collingwood won in the Daisy deal along with Adelaide in the Betts deal. We appear to have lost with both at the moment. Times might tell a different story in the future, but at the moment we are at a loss with both players. Lets hope the footy gods give us a break somewhere down the line at some stage.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Surely good fortune has to smile on us soon Mantis! :-\

Scully was an error, just like ours, but at least GWS are getting something for their 600k per year. Scully was still young and has probably not even reached anywhere near his peak yet. Thomas was already passed it. I you can't see the difference.....
Anyway, enough with the Daisy crap, anyone trying to say it was a worthy successful deal that we would've gone for regardless of Mick and Swann being at the club is just pushing sh1t uphill.

Scully is only on 600k? What a game?
He was on a mil+ initially...and has gotten worse since then.
