Good question - difficult to answer.

You wouldn't pay him more than $500K now and that is not going to happen, unless the Swans paid him $2m in a single season which leaves less in the following years. Not sure if it is within current AFL Player's Association rules to change the contract like that mid-term.

We won't end up with him, but he remains effective wherever he plays. Absolute gun.  

thanks but at $500k.... he's far from a gun

gun forwards start at around $700k and then there is the term ???

Sorry, I just can't abide that comment.  Ablett and Buddy loved their clubs, had played for them for 8-10 years and helped them win multiple premierships.  Both highly respected inside and outside their clubs.

No comparison to HWSMBN who played for a year then had a dubious knee injury.  He made it obvious he did not want to play in the red and blue, didn't get on with teammates, walked out on a trip to China and showed no respect for our club, President or fans.

No prodigal son scenario for him at the Dees, imv! 

Late to the topic, I know, but this 100% correct
