Let’s be honest. We just don’t get genuinely big name players to our club. We would be up there with the worst strike rate when it comes to that. Goddard in the last 10+ years? Who else? Mark Alvey doesn’t count despite Sheeds pumping him up!
Doesn’t hugely bother me atm anyway though. Develop our squad through the draft for the next year or two.
When youre opting to stay at Richmond for significantly less than what you would be paid at our club that is a rather forlorn peice of information to process.
That’s crazy money. Maybe $700k but we would need to include removal of half of the tats, compulsory mullet removal and behavioral therapy as part of the contract.
That’ll be what you have to pay to attract a top 10 in the comp midfielder going forward with salary cap increases etc.
You tend to save about 20% to retain them if you develop them from day one.
