2018 - What do you expect from the club?

[mateinone]

No assumptions...Rockliff was offered a 4 year deal by Port at a touch over 2.8 mill, we beat Brisbane's initial offer which was 550k a season but were never going to beat the Port offer. The finals angle was part BS IMO, he went for the extra dough as the major factor, he was looking for 800k last time his manager shopped him around....
We have had a recent history of offering unders...Smith went for the extra money at Essendon and then pulled the better rehab facilities story out....Bombers also paid overs for Stringer to get him..
Players go for the big dollars unless its a no hoper club like North doing the offering and coached by an ego maniac like Brad Scott...then they think twice...

So EB you have those details as fact on what we offered and what Port offered?
You also have as fact that Essendon offered more than we did?
I am not saying this is impossible, I am saying I find it very unlikely that people on the forum here are privy to enough detail to determine what our final offers were.
