5 million? Seems a very odd amount.
They only offering him a 2 year deal??
Surely he’d be looking at like a 5 year 10 million dollar deal. Probably even more with all their above cap sign on bonuses they’ve been given.
Geelong deserve nothing 
Hard to imagine Nick Daicos is unhappy with playing in a premiership contender every season and in front of 60k+ at the G every week.

Being an inaugrel player at an AFL club would be a decent carrot.
Hes already won a premiership at Collingwood.
Make the move champ.
You’d have to live in Tasmania though. At least GAJ got to live on the Gold Coast.
The AFL has today announced Nick Daicos as the role of Tasmanian Football Ambassador, where he is set to earn a record windfall of around $10m over 5 years. The AFL has further confirmed this will sit outside the Tasmanian salary cap

Its 2 million for 10 years and 3 million as sign on bonus.. my mistake on the post
Daicos wouldn’t survive in Tassie.
He’d FIFO.

No he wouldn’t.
I was told by a player manager that they are looking at having players FIFO to Tassie each week as they will otherwise struggle to attract players
That would be very taxing on the individual who will eventually pull the pin. When would they fly in and then fly out? Of they play Sunday in Perth, would they stay Tuesday to Thursday in Tasmania.
If this is how it is going to be then they probably shouldn’t have pushed for a yes vote on the stadium
Ah right yeah that sounds more like it.
So 23 million dollar deal for 10 years. Handy.
Best 23 under 30 would be horrendous. I think he’s on the move too.
Given that Wanganeen-Milera was signed for $2 million a year, I reckon Collingwood would be offering a lot more than 2 million a year.
Tasmania will have to offer him a lot more than $2 million a year.
Yeah possibly. But tenure comes into it as well.
NWM signing for 2 years at a liability of 2 million a year is different to signing someone on at that rate for a decade. Provides proper long term surety for the player whilst club is committing to 20 million vs 4 milion.
Throw in the 3 million dollar sign on bonus and potentially performance and/or games played triggers. Might even write in a clause about the contract increasing by the same % of CBA rise each time that occurs within that timeframe.

Do you think that Collingwood won’t offer him a 7+ year deal…at well over $2 million a year?
Yeah who knows. Probably. I wasn’t dismissing that it might be more than 23 mill. Just saying tenure counts for something too when contrasting to NWM.
They mentioned that Melbourne based players would most likely train in Melbourne and just fly down to Tassie on game day.
6 or 7 games per year would be in Melbourne anyway
It might not work but I think they are going to be desperate to attract talent
