5 year’s extension for Hayward? 

can i get the number of his agent? 

outstanding work 

 

Lucky for us. We don’t another plonker, down hill skier. He is mid range made to look good in a strong Sydney outfit.

Florent’s not getting out of bed for $2 mill over 5 years

I've found that a pretty big problem myself actually. I never get out of bed for $2 mill over 5 years.

Another one bites the dust, and another one, and another one. Great to see clubs holding onto their players like their future depends on it.!!!

We gave Spargo a 4 year deal, and Hayward is 10 times the player. Hayward is rightfully in high demand whereas no other club would have been looking at Spargo.

weren't there two clubs - from memory, hawthorn and the peptides? - who were sniffing around spargo as recently as last year?

small pressure forwards with good footskills are quite valuable

3 year deal for Spargo

Good deal for a young premiership player

Small forwards who can't find the football or kick goals aren't valuable, which is why Spargo found himself at Casey last year. Hayward is the opposite to Spargo.

Attention now turns to getting LDU, Lukocious, Battle, Lobb (ruck/forward) and an elite small forward and fast half back flanker with elite kicking… too much?

Good luck to Hayward and the Swans. The mail from the very reliable poster  was that the clubs were keen on his services, not necessarily he would end up there.

And no need to be a [censored] smart azz about it. 

Thanks for the support Dee Zephyr. As I clearly stated, however, apparently not clear enough for Deelectable, was that Carlton in particular had come early & hard with a 5 year, big $ offer and the Swans didn’t think they’d be able to retain him as they had other priorities. 
Two SA clubs made even bigger offers and Dees showed a little interest. 
I can tell you that the FD of the Swans are pleasantly surprised to retain him and I was told that he’s accepted at least $600k less over the term to stay at the Swans.

We extended Bill by 2 years when we could have waited until end of year. No one was chasing him, why then. He isn’t a regular AFL player even.

The first two would make us a much better team. We can only hope.
