Daisy charged for striking Laidler! - can accept 1 game suspension

[LP]

Does anyone really think that adding Daisy to our list, paying him around $700,000 per season and giving him a four year contract with an option for a fifth year was a good decision?

Spin it any way you like but it really was one of the two most inexplicable decisions our club has made in the last decade.

I was hoping to see a rejuvenated Daisy this season - and I don't doubt his efforts - but I'm afraid his body just isn't capable of performing at AFL level.

Your taken the media bait again DJC, who with any authority said he gets $700K, where was that amount first reported?

When he first signed it was touted as a contract worth "up to $2.5M", I am assuming the "up to" part includes the option year.

At the time that was said to have put Daisy's wage in-line with Murphy's who was reported as being on about $550K when he re-signed.

Now with every toe stubbing kick the media keep pumping up Daisy's value, in what appears to be either a case of severe one-upmanship or out of desperation to pull a headline. If he fluffs a handball he could be the newest AFL millionaire before seasons end!   Just a week ago Malph Ralph reported he was on at least $3.5M for the same deal, and "as much as $750K" was reported. So according to the media we have to accept that he is paid 50% more than our captain, or twice what Kreuzer is paid and double what we allegedly refused to pay Betts. It's bogus reporting! :o

It's designed to tug at your Carlton heart strings and collect ratings and web hits, and you've bitten!
