2MP also has a contract (2 years I think). They won’t let him go cheap. They don’t have to. I doubt we’ll really get that much for Oleg. If he was getting a more regular gig maybe, but he’s not and that’s a large part of why he’s going elsewhere.
From the stuff I've read n heard, 2 metre got the big fat juicy contract ( something like 5 years at around 550 to 600 a year ) a few years back n then promptly disappeared from view n rarely been sighted since. If that's anywhere near correct you would think Mould Coast would be happy to do a swap n pay out some of his contract just to get him off the list.
When they lost the Lynch man to us, it should have been the ideal time for 2 metre to step up n allow King to develop as the second or third forward for a year or two. Didn't happen n they've got a spare key forward/ ruck chewing up a fair few shekels playing Magoos footy.
We're more than helpful allowing our fringe players to get a better career shot elsewhere while we continue to develop each years young up n comers, seems crazy for a club to be paying good money to ruin a players chances of restarting his career when they don't even seem to want him.
Perhaps Mould Coast are waiting to see if Colonwood manage to convince Trelol that his future is at Mould Coast n then they can slip 2 metre into the deal as Colonwood need a key forward who could also offer some ruck support to Grundypants.
