Mummy Crosses the Bridge

[QUOTE=Ludwig;626665]Hawthorn would have to march the $1.1 mil. The easiest way to deal with the COLA is to forget it even exists, which it probably won't for very much longer.

Thanks Ludwig. And neither should the COLA exist if you are right about the way it is treated in these negotiations. I can't see how we can defend it.

Am I way off?

According to his manager on SEN yesterday, at the start of the year they were in disagreement about the length of contract, so both parties amicably agreed to postpone talks to halfway thru the season. When that point arrived, the Swans elected to move talks to seasons end which sat uncomfortable with both Mummy and his manager who smelt a rat. His manager then started to sniff out other opportunities, found one at GWS and once the Buddy news broke it was clear to them that he was on his way west.

I suspect he would have had quite a decision to make if the Buddy deal didn't eventuate given the healthy payrise he has secured from GWS.

Ok thanks, colours in the picture abit. Though I suspect the swans were quite ardent on the length of contract for good reason. And Shane can't wait around for them to change their minds, so i'm glad he was proactive.

Only reason Mummy left was for Coin. He's 27, he will never play in a final again in his career now that he's gone to the scum at the Giants and knows he will finish with a premiership medallion and a bit more coin then he would have got here. Good luck Mummy, because you certainly won't be winning many games for the rest of your career.

I reckon he cracked the @@@@@s when he got sprung for getting on the piss during the season. Seems like the rumours started just after that. He got a premiership medallion and played with a hamstring injury and probably shouldn't have played. See ya Mummy, thanks for coming and helping us win a flag. Good luck with your projects.
