It doesn't really matter whether Daisy is on $600,000 or $750,000 per season. Reasonable due diligence would have revealed that $500,000 was more than enough and, more importantly, he would never get close to his best form.
Interestingly, his lack of leadership is revealed as one of the reasons Collingwood was keen to move him on.
It really was a poor, indeed inexplicable decision.
My bad, it was Jon Ralph writing the article not Jon Anderson.
Easy to claim due diligence in hindsight, hard to see how people establishing player values after the fact would translate the knowledge they gained into a prediction. Any such statements are really rubbish unless they can travel time.
Cannot take much notice of Collingwood's statements, they are all after the fact and they have a vested interest in bashing Carlton, but at the time they were ultra-bitter about Daisy's departure.
