Hugh Greenwood - possible return to basketball

"My name must not be used. Of all my dear relations, I love myself the most."

That's right - he's on a four man committee to select the new coach

^^^ WTF?

While Voldemort is helping to select the new Crows coach.

“I can say college was the best four years of my life, so for them to pass up college and come to Australia and know this is the next step in their development to make the NBA is huge."

I think he’s trying to help out basketball and the NBL, more than reflecting upon his own experience at College.

He could have a had a pro (NBL level) career with Perth. Boomers representation would have helped future contracts. He changed to footy when that didn’t happen.

But big, strong midfielders are always valued in modern footy. He’s been an impact player at times, but not consistent enough for mine. A lot of footy players get paid overs, based on potential or “x factor”. Maybe he’s in that boat?

HS story you can be happy with but anyone with any idea knows it a long way off the mark. Just work out if a player that is about rank 25 in a 44 man roster is earning that money where there salary cap would be. A lot of better players would be earning less and be disgruntled, no wonder the team exploded.

Ya caint look at him for too long.

So you believe something you read in the herald sun, Sloane would be happy with 750g a year. If players of Greenwood talent get that sort coin salary caps would be 30 million not 12-14 that they are.

Players get overpaid all the time in AFL so it wouldn't surprise me if he got between 500-700k, if a team has a need, are in the premiership window and a player is wanted by multiple clubs they will get close to their asking price. I think his comments about playing NBL are when he's finished with AFL, not right now, prob in another 2-3 years.

This despite frequenting home opens every weekend.

Lol his manager can say he’s worth two million, don’t mean he’ll get it.

AFAIK Greenwood is out of contract and is being chased at around $700k.

700k dream on, maybe 700k for three seasons, he’s barely in the top line. Any player in the bottom half of an afl list get paid a lot less than the top half. There is salary cap in the afl and it enforced. Top five in club take at least a third of the cap.

Add Greenwood to the long list of players that would love to see Lemanis gone

He seems to be an inconsistent performer in footy. Was he consistent in bball?

He may get an opportunity in bball if:
1. He returns to Tasmania (he mentioned Chargers so he’s open to a lower level); or
2. The Crows enter a commercial relationship with the 36ers (they already do baseball, and an esports team in Sydney).
