VFL 2017 Round 3: Northern Blues vs Coburg at Coburg

[mateinone]

I understand that the extra year, if triggered, is around 50% of his current pay packet.

Do you have any links to that? Because I find that to be extraordinary. He came here after a pay packet and can't imagine why he would have a trigger that said if he is playing football good enough for 15 games in his last year we get him for 1/2 the next year.

If he has resigned it recently to change the value of the trigger, that could be a different matter.

The rubbish about the respect he "deserves"... He deserves the respect one human gives another, but outside of that Carlton supporters owe him absolutely NOTHING. He has absolutely impacted our ability to bring in other players due to the size of his contract.

It is okay, it is football, he signed the contract and is entitled to the cash.. that is the way it works... But being on our list has comfortably been a negative in regards to our list management and I can't wait to see the back of him.

Talk about he must be picked because of culture etc.

Well it is okay to say that a player on 700k a year has to be doing more to get a game than Charlie Curnow does. That he must be demanding games with his performances. I remember Nicky Winmar coming back through the 2s many years ago and picking up over 50 possessions.

Players in the top 5% of paid AFL professionals need to play better than he does.
I would happily see him never play another senior game
