Maybe it recognises that he has been underpaid for some of the past few years?

Anyone know how much Leo Barry gets?
BBBH - $2mil
Hippyboy - $1mil
Leaping Leo - $500K?????
The mind boggles with how they come up with figures like this. Do you think they use a calculator?Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Totally agreed ... it probably should be more (they are under additional pressure and all).Originally posted by NMWBloods

Bazza got $2 mil for a two year contract.
Hippyboys getting $1mil for three.
I am totally speculating that Leo only gets $500K and am using that speculation for my argument.
Why are the three captains paid different amounts? You think they'd all get the same.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

What is your source for that? Don't recall seeing figures like that reported and I'd be very surprised if Hall is getting $1m a year. I thought it was reported that he'd signed a three year contract.Originally posted by Annie Haddad

Of the other two, one is a defensive midfielder who wouldn't rate in the top 10 or 15 midfielders of the AFL and one is an undersized fullback who gives away the most free kicks in the competition."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

He got a $2m contract - it was a big deal at the time. I really don't have time today to go back and check the media to source it. I can't remember if it was for two or for three years ... could have been three. (Our group have been on about it all year. For every behind he kicks, he has to put $2000 back into the kitty. It's a game day game we like to play ... we call him the $2million man.)Originally posted by liz

Still, for BBBH, that's $666,666 per year for three years. Kirky's getting $333,333 per year for three years.
Why aren't they getting paid the same if they're "doing the same job"?
Hippyboy should sign up with BBBH's agent. He could have got a better deal.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

As much as it hurts to say this, Fevola was the best goal kicker in the 2006 competition.
Before you all jump down my throat, the colman medal count says he was.
Sydney haven't had a coleman medal winner since 1996 (and prior to that 1991 - both Mr A Lockett).
BBBH was the "leading goalkicker" after the final series for 2005 (on 80). Too late for the Colman. I recall that he could have won the coleman in 2005, but in the final home/away game he "gave away" the goal opportunities that would have won it for him.
I would say that BBBH would be ONE of the best, not the best.

But Bloods, they are all co-captains - equal in their captaincy (or so it seems on paper).Originally posted by NMWBloods

Ok, one is a mid fielder, the other a defender and the other a forward, but they are "all captaining" the team.
With that pricing structure, I'd say BBBH was the "Captain", Hippyboy the "Vice" and Leaping Leo the "Vice's Vice".
They should just come out and say so instead of saying we have "three equal captains".Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Their main job is playing football. They're paid based on their value to the team. Being captain is only part of it, and only a small part at that.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

All this waffle about 3 captains...dumb idea from day 1...I can't believe people still see Kirky being worth his place in 3 years.Comment

The main consideration is rightly value to the team from a playing perspective and in that regard Baz wins hands down.
Key forwards are the most valuable position in the game and Baz is one of the best going around.
You are kidding yourself if you think Fevola is more valuable. If he was, then Carlton would not be running 16th. Fevola kicks a lot of goals because he doesn't have an O'Loughlin, O'Keefe or Davis playing alongside him.
Hall sets up far more goals than he kicks through his workrate and positional play."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I agree with everything that you're saying guys, and understand that indeed, BBBH is the better player, and is worth more, but you'd think that the captaincy would have it's priviledges (money-wise).Originally posted by hammo

Fev did win the Coleman. Therefore for 2006, he WAS the best goalkicker. Barry should worry more about himself sometimes and get the awards he rightly deserves. This is the second or third year in a row he's missed out on the Coleman through his "generosity". The whole comp knows he's the best, but he just keeps missing out on the big gong.
All this is moot anyhow for me ... you all know I want GOODSEY for captain. (There you go, happy now?? You've started me up again!!)
