No one would turn that down.
straight to the keeper
Connors helped us last week and now itâs payback time. So predictable.
AFL media got nothing to talk about at present.
Will be dragging up everything and anything to create a story.
He wonât go anywhere else, already said as much himself.
Please HS. Heâs going no where.
Sounds like we have a bit of a cap squeeze hope the club has money left over to re-sign our guns in the future.
Its hardly panic time
HS rehashing DâOrazioâs comments from end of September and changing the slant. Itâs part of an article about stringer where McGrath says he plans to stay a Bomber for life. Itâs not a new interview⌠Google McGrath stringer DâOrazio and read it in context - I cant post because itâs paywall but google it.
Robbo has written it, heâs just waiting for the right moment to put it out there.
Itâs a smart move for someone of McGrathâs ability. Back yourself in to have a good year and bump up the cash. Thereâs an element of risk of course but well worth it when youâve got his talent.
IâM NOT PANICKING YOUâRE PANICKING!
NOBODY PANIC!
Contracted next year, right?
Youâre not doing it rightâŚ
IS HE CONTRACTED FOR NEXT YEAR??? HE HAS TO BE SURELY???
I would love McGrath to come out and be like
This article is rubbish, of course Iâm going to re-sign, but I would be stupid to re-sign now, I wouldnât be maximising the potential of my next contract.
Anyone who suggests he is holding the club to ransom or is just looking out for himself and not being a team player is ridiculous. Itâs a business, itâs a career for these young guys. I highly doubt he would be asking for 500k plus, he was probably offered something around low 200k, and he is probably wanting something around 300k a season.
I would have thought they offered Pidge a similar second contract to Parish, and based on his first year and his awards, Pidge is worth more than that.
Paul Connors:
âIâm furious that Essendon spent all their salary cap on my other clientsâ
"âŚLast yearâs overall No.1 pick McGrath told the Herald Sun in Grand Final week he wanted to end his career asbe (sic) a one-club player.
His manager Robbie DâOrazio, of Connors Sports, said then that talks to extend a deal past 2018 would soon heat up."
Poor investment of panic dollars here.
Nothing to see: Move on.
Itâs a low yield environment. Gotta invest somewhere.
wont keep McGrath
