Thread: Balmain

  1. #1

    Balmain

    Just ran into a bloke i know who plays with a SFA club, he said that Balmain rang him up and offered him $150 a game. While he is at a decent level of SFA standard he would'nt get a game at a top 4 club.

    I say good luck to him if he takes it but it makes me pose the question, how much would they pay a decent player?If they are throwing money at battlers they are either:
    a/ desperate
    b/ have a heap of cash
    c/ are going back to the dark days of promising heaps and paying nothing.

    i will guess, a & c.

    You'd want that much to play in green and purple i reckon.

    you would want more to follow the leadership of the sfl's most courageous captain/coach.

    I don't know what player is involved or what his ego is like, and maybe it's not applicable in this case; but option d/ occurs to me - he wasn't really offered any money but wanted to talk up his own ability.

    He is a pretty unassuming bloke Norris so D isnt an option.

    "A bloke I know..."

    So are you going to take the $150 a week Boris!? It's good money to play a bit of footy each week or are you going to ask for more to take instruction from one Mr Hall and wear purple and green?

    Maybe they should be paying $101.0 per week!

    I would say A. I dont think Meadey would be throwing money around that he doesn't have, and he is a decent bloke also and i dont think he would compromise by doing that. I think Boris that they would probably be paying over the odds to get whoever hasnt signed elsewhere. And they didnt spend much last year i would imagine so maybe they have a bit in reserve. Its very hard to attract players when you havent won a game the previous year.

    Dungar, he would have to weigh up:

    * If he is happy playing with his mates at a strong club
    * Travelling across town
    * Wether Balmain will be any good

    Boris

    Have you let this mate of yours know what you think of him as footballer???

    However, having seen you play you would definitely know a bad player though!

    Have you heard of Fremantle? They made $1.5 million this year.
    Spoiler

    are you saying that Fremantle underwrites the club, Spolier?
