Maybe it was in the Hun or Age, not widely reported though was it
Weird thing to go to so much trouble about but yeah it was. It probably wasn't in an article about Fev losing weight though.
You can take it or leave it but I can tell you without any doubt Hardwick didn't take a pay cut in his last deal and stayed on the same money he was on previously, which cost us staff and pissed a few people off.
I'm not knocking him for doing it, I always think everyone should take the money, I reckon Dustin should have gone to North. Hardwick has three flags next to his name and will never have a better chance to earn in his life and that opportunity has been dented by Covid anyway, so he should take every penny he can.
Thats OK, I think you are wrong & there is NO WAY you can tell me without doubt
As a Richmond supporter you still think that Dustin should have gone to North? Was the difference in offers really that big?
Had he gone to North you can remove 2 of his Norm Smiths and 2 of his premierships medals, which would therefore not have him held in such esteem as he is now, therefore reducing the amount of off field endorsements in both number and value.
pretty sure i remember it & soft cap repercussions being discussed here at some time.
As usual, Richmond benchmark. Mince comparing this to our off-field issues in 2020 where we either busted or stuck fat to win a flag.
Did Mince question why Melbourne hasn't been fined 20k like we were with Shai and Drioli?
Mince is too concerned with trying to blow off the unannounced, secretive change to the dissent rule.
He spent weeks defending the AFL when it was introduced and their insane application of it, and now, with the brush of a 5 second comment the AFL have ….no surprise….got it right ….again.
Complete suck of a guy.

Wrong in what sense, you think he took a pay cut?
Not as a supporter but as a pragmatic person I say take the money every chance you can to everyone. He probably left 2 million dollars on the table which anyone worth their salt will have turned into 10 by the time his contract is finished. Not sure he would have any more or less endorsement either.
I understand people will talk passionately about the value of success and loyalty and all that other stuff and that's all valid but I think it's easy to do about someone else's life and none of that stuff makes you and your family secure for the next 5 generations.
Fair enough, although if they all took a proportional cut to reflect the cap reduction it would seem weird that we dropped two coaches and didn't replace them.
Can't agree with you here.
Norm Smith medalist and 1 time premiership playing for North, or 3 time Norm Smith and 3 time premiership playing for Richmond. Much more bargaining power and appeal with the 2nd resume IMO.
Not sure about that, I think his marketability is about his image and the way he plays footy. Kids love him no matter who he plays for and what he does.
When you look at it, all his big deals were done in 2017 before he signed. Bonds, Puma and a book deal were all done then and they are his biggest money spinners by far. Since then he's only really picked up minor stuff with Archie's, Voost and whatever watches he wears now.
It's always pretty telling in endorsements whether the athlete appears in uniform or not. Tells you whether they have transcended the sport as a brand or not. Have a look at a Dangerfield ad for Ultivite vs Dustin flogging Voost for example.
If they took a proportional cut they wouldn't have to lost staff though, they would just all take the same pay cut?
I must admit I am more than a little surprised that the AFL hasn’t come out and said something or launched their own investigation on the May v Melksham UFC bout. The article in today’s H/S was pretty uncomplimentary to May, in what he said, how it started and we know the Restaurant owners and staff were filthy on the whole thing. That suggests to me that Melbourne haven’t been real thorough. They didn’t think it was necessary to contact the restaurant where their players were brawling?
May gets a week for slagging off a teammate who got injured last year and missed the final. And kept going with the insults. Pretty apparent who was at fault. Gets a week suspension and a smack from a teammate. Melksham also gets a week who stood up for others and himself. Plus Melksham got Community work as well. Did May? Sounds like Melksham must have cut his hand on May’s teeth as he got an infected hand for his trouble.
Would have thought terms like “bringing the game into disrepute”, “conduct unbecoming” could be being heard from AFL house.
We don’t want to turn into that NRL farce do we?
I know who I would prefer to have at my club. Bolton who “stands up” for a teammates wife and cops $20k for his support or a big mouth who can’t handle his grog, who thinks he is the big kid on the block bullying teammates. Bullying the bloke who organised the dinner…..
Glad Steven May did not come to the RFC.
