Yes we can but other clubs like North , Hawks etc have a shed load of cap space and nothing to spend onA million a year for a key defender?
Think we can spend our cap in other ways
If people were against Grundy on the grounds of negligent spending then this one easily tops that for wasteful management. It's a bit like paying Daniel Talia a million a season & then hoping Taylor Walker will take a pay cut.A million a year for a key defender?

900k for WilliamsIf people were against Grundy on the grounds of negligent spending then this one easily tops that for wasteful management. It's a bit like paying Daniel Talia a million a season & then hoping Taylor Walker will take a pay cut.
Or just get Tarrant on minimum wages.............900k for Williams
850k for Mc Nuggets
750k for Polec
these are the contracts that are baffling
For a club like Hawks / Norf to pay BmcKay $ 1mil a year when they dont have any players to pay is not as bad imo
Yeah Rance was a elite intercept chb,but at the same time we won 2 premierships without him.Yes we can but other clubs like North , Hawks etc have a shed load of cap space and nothing to spend on
Lets not forget Rance was on $750k back 7 years ago and even McGovern of the Carlton variety is getting $850k and his brother is on over $1 mil
I think they were both important. Having a Rance or that role was incredibly important to Astbury but equally true the other way around.Yeah Rance was a elite intercept chb,but at the same time we won 2 premierships without him.
I think Astbury was more important to our side than Rance ,and he certainly wasn't on anywhere near 1million .
Astbury's is so underrated ,l don't know how many successful shutdown jobs he did.
I believe they complemented each other.Yeah Rance was a elite intercept chb,but at the same time we won 2 premierships without him.

Astbury didn't conceed 1 possession in the '19 GF. He was also the 1 that allowed Rance to do as he did. Was as important to us as Lambert was IMO.Yeah Rance was a elite intercept chb,but at the same time we won 2 premierships without him.

Considering all the major injuries he had ,,he had a great career,and just think he nearly went to Brisbane at the end of 2015.Dave was great. One of those true, lock down sacrificial defenders that would play on the big strong guys, often doing it a bit undersized. He’d also take big hits in front of packs and filling the hole. A true warrior and integral piece in our backline.
Still remember Leon Harris saying after we drafted him that he wouldn’t make it, and that he had too many gaps in his game. Yeah, didn’t quite work out like that did it Mork ?

It looks like the Giesh has been unleashed after learning the job, working his way up the chain and earning his position. I dont believe he has failed or been fired from one, just to be re-hired elsewhere. So no I dont think it is a "Boys club" hiring, unlike a few others.Boys club anyone? Private school network? Nup?
One of my favourite memories of Dave was one afternoon at Marvel well before 2017 when we were playing a meh game against what were at that point the meh Lions.Considering all the major injuries he had ,,he had a great career,and just think he nearly went to Brisbane at the end of 2015.
I remember watching him at the nab cup level,along with Matt Dea and l think Freezer had a son playing at the same time,and l though geez he's not a bad player.
He was a strong mark ,good on a lead,quite agile,kicking was a bit indifferent ,the only knock l had on him was he played a bit too nice,and l wondered if he had the aggression and mental toughness for a long AFL career.
He certainly had the mental toughness.
I would love to know how many goals got kicked on him from 2016 on wards,l bet he has one of the best records of all key backs in the history of AFL.
