Under Malthouse- he is just as likely to have moved for $50K LESS

I think that he was offered a fair bit more by Adelaide than he was on with us so went back to Carlton and said something like "I'll stay if you increase the current offer by $50k" (which would be less than Adelaide's offer) but we said no.
Just my understanding anyway
Battle is a solid player who does what he's supposed to do very competently. Not your Gorilla but I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Solid player that can be relied upon to do the right thing. Not a bad mark and decent kick as well.

Cornes going hard at Rachele again for squibing the contestā¦
No doubt every player has done it before.. Donāt think itās from being scared, just a mental flinch, once it happens a few times though itād be hard to breakā¦ā¦
Rachele is quickly turning into another Jaidyn Stephenson

He is a UFA, so i don't think we would have to give you anything. That's the only reason i'm asking

It would take nearly 3 1st rounders for him to be moved on. He is too valuable to us atm.
He is only being moved forward as he is our #1 option in nearly 4 different positions. Can't see us moving him on. See someone like Dan Rioli to Suns far more realistic

Our offer was considerably less, he went back and asked to raise it by $50K as the Crows offer was a lot higher, we wouldnāt budge, he felt unwanted and the rest is history.

We are?
Yeah. Apparently we will unexpectedly have a plethora of 4th round draft picks to useā¦
Betts offer from Adelaide was 2 million over 4 years (500k per year). Our offer was reported at the time as 900k less for only 3 years so probably something like 1.1 million x 3 (350k per year). Although Betts has been quoted as saying we only offered him half as much and that we only made a 2-year offer so it's hard to know exactly.
In either case it was mistake. We then went and offered 750 x 4 to Dale Thomas lol.

Can I just shout out to Arr0w and others who suggested Zac Williams could play as a forward. I would happily praise others, but I don't remember anyone else because I was so dismissive of the idea.
I thought it was moving magnets for the sake of it. That it would never work and that these posters were mad.
I am happy to admit I was wro...... Ahem, I was not corre...... clears throat.... I am really impressed by how effective he has been over the last month.

I believe Daisy's free agent contract ~$625/yr.
$625K became almost $650K. $650K got rounded up to $700K. And then $700K x 4 got reported as 'almost $3M'. Which then became $3M/4 and created a false narrative that he was getting paid $750K/yr.
Lazy/sneaky/sensationalist journalism.
Having said that, he came across clearly hampered by the ankle injury that ended his previous year at Coll.
So we ended paying him $2.5M for really about 3.5 years of service at best. And that's ignoring him missing most of 2015 (which couldn't really have been predicted) that made the contract that much worse.
We lost Betts.
We lost Betts Compo.
We overpaid for an injured player.
Sensationally bad recruitment all round.
Edit: Found some of my posts from 2013 that said signing Daisy was a dumb idea (just pointing out this isn't hindsight) recruiting).

We were broke and Mick was working with his hands tied behind his back. Club were unable to give him much to assist. Bad times.
