Opinion Burton Hypothetical

[Berries]

He’s obviously a god tier 5/8 but is a ball running 5/8 worth 1.2 ,maybe not

 

[piggy]

Needs to be $900k+ if we realistically want to keep him around

You guys are kidding if you think throwing big money at him will be the demise factor in him re signing....it’s simple..if he doesn’t see as been the club that will get the best out of him he will leave. I think we need a gun half back to entice him to stay

With all the talk around Munster leaving for dolphins melbourne are the only club I’m concerned about him leaving for.

He won’t be going anywhere on Gus’ watch.

He’ll be a marquee with us, Melbourne can’t pay marquee money with Hughes, Grant and Papenhuyzen on marquee coin… he’ll stay.

5 year contract
Y1. $800,000
Y2.$900,000
Y3.$1 million
Y4.$1.1 million
Y5. 1.2 million
Equals 5 million over 5 years

I don't think Matt Burton comes across as being greedy. Gus said he will make sure that he is looked after and I'm sure he will. Also would be surprised if he goes anywhere else. The colour blue looks pretty good on him..........in a virile sort of way of course....

 

[Ant2611]

As much as it takes. 4 years $3.2 million sounds like a fair deal for both sides.

I don't think he's looking to sign anything any time soon though. I'm sure Gus will address it once he settles in to the club and we hopefully stay competitive to the point where Burton can envision competing for premierships once Mahoney and Kikau arrive.

And I don't think they will be the last of our signings. We ARE on the way up....woowoo about time.

2 kebab shops, a house with a lambo in the driveway and 1 million a year.

We are not the chickens.

 

[Ant2611]

Before the end of this season we need to put an offer in front of him to extend him long term.

If we allow it to tick over into November without this deal being done we are a huge risk of losing him.

We are going to be a team finishing 10-12. If a Rooster’s or Storm come calling he will sign for less knowing he is walking into a successful team.

We need to lock him up and build a generation of Bulldogs around him.

By that stage if he wanted to leave he would be leaving a successful team.......

 

[Ant2611]

He can be The Man at this club if he stays. I would be giving him the keys to the city as such if he is dominates this year. Footballers like him don’t grow on trees.

How do you know where they come from. Next you will be saying they come out of a pink hole.

Start at $750k but go up into the $900s

Will have to pay a premium if Barrett is going to change his halves partner every 2 weeks.

He may have had some input into the change.
