Nice for Eddie to stay on board. :smile:

But Garlett must be worth 1.5.

350k/year....pretty cheap for our best fwd who comes to play every week and is team oriented.

We got blokes on the same coin in the VFL.

Wow, this will really confuse some of the negative nellies.

They've missed out on the drama of Gibbs and Hampson signing there...they'll be devastated if Betts re-signs as well.

Well, it says "more than $1million".

Which could mean anything up to 450k a year really. I'd say 400k would be about right.

Gold Coast is the gift that keeps on giving to AFL players. Contract negotiations stalled? Just 'be seen' having coffee on the GC.

Considering that only a few years back he was on base salary of 38k and the club reluctantly paid a 6k relocation allowance from Perth

I would say he would be pretty happy with his 10 fold salary increase in the space of 5 or so years

well done Eddie

Lot of drinking money there

I'd say getting Betts' signature is the first step in getting the signatures of Yarran and Garlett.

Is there an individual who won't get bagged after the team played poorly?
