If Jenkins is on $800,000 then Eddie should be on $2,000,000

Why not 240k with a performance based component that gets him to 300+k if achieved?

Itās got nothing to do with whether I like him or not.
He needs to prove things have changed.
A couple of months of good footy, after 10 years of not even achieving mediocrity, is not proof of anything.
Iād like him to kick on, because we would be a better side with him, as he played in that couple of months, in it.
But Iām not paying good money got someone who hasnāt proven they are worth it.

Yep. That would be something to consider.
And if he delivers next year he can renegotiate.
Surely Joe The Goose isnāt on $800k?
Geez you are being a bit harsh on McKernan here. Iām not sure you can compare a guy who has been on the rookie list the past few years earning around $100K at most with players who have been on $600k a year for the past few years who agree not to get their next increase of forgoing their bonus.
Maybe some of our overpaid āsuperstarsā should sacrifice a few grand for him for the good of the team.

From what Iāve heard, Daniher did take a fair bit less than what he could have got from other clubs during his last contract negotiation.
McKernan kicked more goals than joey this year so killing it on the $/goal ratio.

I could totally see Smack taking out an opposition player in a final, accidentally or intentionally. We need players like that, who live on the edge with nothing to lose.

Jenkins had never played a game and was behind 3 other rucks. And you know that. Donāt be stupid.

Just because you are on the rookie list doesnāt mean you are on minimum wage.
really? what have his stats been the last 3 weeks
I mean goals behinds
marks tackles etc?
He was doing ok but sadly dropped off
The point was it should be the players on the big salaries making the sacrifices not the players on the lowest.

the 2018 ones are better
I donāt think we can afford to play Myers and SMcK in the same team and particularly, when they are off their game. Smack was playing well until he was injured and Myers is having a good patch too.
But when they are hot theyāre hot and when theyāre not, theyāre not.
Myers and Smack canāt be played in the same team?? Thatās a strange thought.

I could see him taking out a key Bombers player in a final accidentally. I could also see him taking Mark of the year and then kicking the ball across goal and turning it over.
Super talent but footy IQ is just not there. He is a back up and you need depth but letās not overstate him.

Best 22 for me personally, he is a game changing FF/R; he can swing a game in either direction and he compliments Joe and Jake better than either Brown or Stewart do currently. He also allows Hooker to play down back, which is another bonus.

When they have an off day together. Context thatās the important bit.
Joe, Smack, Raz, Tippa, Stringer, Baggers forwardline is all kinds of crazy fun
