That's the benchmark for top end talent in their mid 20's then.

What’s De Goey worth then?
Can they afford both on long term contracts.
Grundy is worth every $ IMO

Agree with Grundy, solid citizen and a good decision ( at this point ) by the Pies, De Goey on the other hand looks like he might be a little more volatile. Would you sign someone with his chequered history to a 7 year deal? I doubt it.

Following on from the announcement that they would no longer be accepting any gambling-related revenue, the Geelong Cats have today announced the purchase of a health and fitness venue in Geelong.
The club has purchased Geelong’s Gym, located across the road from GMHBA Stadium in Newtown, as part of a longer-term strategy to replace gambling-related revenues at the club whilst still creating a positive impact on its communities.
Geelong Cats chief commercial officer, Braith Cox, said the opportunity to purchase the gym was one that was in-line with the club’s strategy to exit gaming and improve the lives of the community.
“Geelong’s Gym, the longest continually running gym in Geelong, presents an opportunity for the club to use their experience in wellbeing, high performance, health and rehabilitation to drive positive outcomes for the people of Geelong,” Cox said
“The recent sale of our gaming venue and the decision to no longer allow signage promoting gambling at our home games at GMHBA Stadium, have been outcomes that our members have warmly welcomed.”
The Cats will take over operations of the gym in late January.

That now makes 2 clubs not receiving gambling related income, seems a very slow moving ship in the AFL industry

Of course it's slow moving, you can't just kill off a portion of your revenue stream overnight.

They also have their own in house gambling in the form of their Major Raffle.
Gambling is gambling.
