I will laugh if they have a Cap squeeze in the next couple of years because of this.Been hearing comments n reading articles for weeks n weeks about how all the Moggies players are happy to take less money for the chance to play at a successful club n play finals.
Nek minnit the Moggies honcho's are importing a spud on $1.6 mill for two years of elite Magoos footy. Wonder how all those players on minimal contracts will be feeling over the next few seasons?
All those superstar players got paid well more than beer money during their careers, they've got their flag n are old n hovering around retirement so they won't really care much. Reckon the mid aged n improving youngsters are gunna be having a serious look at the shekels when their new contracts come up.
This type of deal was 'Richmond 101' between 1998-2005.
But not under Gale/Balme's watch would we ever consider paying for kid worth a qtr of that money purely on the back of a picking up pick 7 in a very unpredictable draft.. Twomey said after pick 1, yes pick 1 it's impossible to guess the rest.
I heard very early on we would not consider picking up Bowes.
We have just become a real & strong football club
