    '2' Million Dollar Baby



    Big Baz set to sign a 4 year deal worth a cool $2 mill. Not bad if you can get it, but good value IMO for the Swans relative to some of the other show ponies running around the comp

    Money extremely well spent.

    He is one of the few swans who rarely has a dirty day, even when he is not kicking a handful of goals, he is out and about looking for the pill, and feeding into the F50.

      I have no problem in spending the cash on Baz either. He has become a revelation at this club and has become an excellent team player - always goes back in for the ball and doesn't throw tantrums when it's not put on his chest.

      YOU ROCK BARRY!!

        "$2 million baby"???

        Does this mean we have to add an extra "B" to "BBBH"?

        Well worth it! I like the way Ireland runs things.

            Great deal.

            He could command more than $500,000 per year on the open market and with the deal dependent on bonuses to get the full $2 million over 4 years, I say the Swans have got themselves a real bargain.

              I reckon he's being underpaid.

                    It says alot about the spirit at the club if players are willing to sign for less than they could get elsewhere.
                    Congratulations to the Swans for securing him for Four Years, and Thankyou to Barry Hall for agreeing to the deal

                        "He is entitled to expect a base of $2 million-plus for the next four years, with bonuses for awards and specific goalkicking targets"

                        I think you'll find with sponsorship and endorsements his pay packet will be well over the 500,000/yr.

                        He deserves it

                          On the open market, Hall could expect to get offers of around $600,000-$700,000 depending on the club and its need for a key forward. Was talk just after the Wizard Cup that Fevola could get around $600,000 from a club like West Coast. Just think what they would offer Hall.

                          Great deal if it gets done

                            The bad news for RWO is that the Swans have decided to go long contacts all round. By popular demand, the first in line are LRT, Nicksy, B1 and Stewie who are all being offered 10 year contracts.
