Pre game Promise AFL Rd 17 Carlton vs Geelong?

[Shakin77]

The point here is perhaps not that Williams is paid too much, or isn't performing to the level required by his remuneration, but that perhaps someone like Judd wasn't paid anywhere near enough! :o

Nah I think we have overpaid for Williams.  Not that it's his fault.    He put himself in the market and the market (us) paid him well.  I think if anything is to be learnt from this it's that, sure you can get 800k but there has to be some incentives in that contract.

800k is an elite player.  Not what you play a player you are hoping is elite.

Hope we don't make the same mistake with someone like Cerra who is asking elite money and Fremantle will ask for elite player compensation.    He well may well become that player, but he isn't that player yet.
