Sam Reid Contract

[Mug Punter]

Jon Pierik in The Age:

"The speculation surrounding Casboult's contract comes after fellow key forward and Sydney big man Sam Reid recently put pen to paper on a four-year extension worth just over $2.2 million; just under $600,000 a season."

Carlton's Levi Casboult ponders move as rival clubs circle

If these numbers are right then Sammy has taken significant unders to stay but you can understand why he would - happy personally having been on a good deal, financially secure already and very happy with his club environment. It's still good money but it's a great reflection on the environment that the club provides for players

Bit of generous rounding here. That would be just over $550,000 a season.

Sounds like a fair price.

Bargain! KPF are the absolute hardest to draft so that price seems very reasonable and puts Sam in a very good light in helping keep the list together as he no doubt could have got much more in Melbourne given far less effective forwards Mayne and Vickery are on well publicised $500k/year.

Casboult and Tippett look like they're about to reap the rewards of the lack of key forwards in the market. Very good news for us as we might be able to offload him despite the fact that I think he's a ruckman, not a forward.

Mediocre at either roles. Big discount available if a club wanted one n'or the other.
