You got to add in the salary you have to pay in the next economy update. So the team paid roughly 450k, just that you pocketed like 70k after tax? Only way for him to have gone more would have been if you carried him into the new season. But any smart manager would not have done that.

See thats the thing... any rival country can go and make a new team and bid on Radford for 85k.
Then the plan would be to mess around with his gameshape til the team goes bot, essentially making Radford retire through free agency.

No one would want to buy Radford with atrocious gamehsape for 1mil.

But thats okay, we have young blood coming through the ranks now... Duffill will fill up the hole for now til the others come of age.

Yeah any smart manager would've unloaded that 360k salary.

Nice pickup in Frank "Galvatron" Galvin. I wouldn't have minded him for a measely 500k LOL
Looks like you are building up an aussie team of your own =P

That's the sad reality and that's why Australian teams should be aiming to support their own national players especially the merchandise gains they can possibly receive. Of course, I don't ever expect to see another Radford-type player to be created but maybe more of the well rounded 200-250k bigs.

At the moment there's no guarantee Duffill will be in the national squad at the start of next season. If Datz doesn't come back that means he will be playing 120 minutes a week and even gameshape training will do jack all...

Slowly building up a decent Aussie team. Need more inside presence, not enough young quality Aussie bigs with secondaries on the market.

If only Australia could produce a player like him (19805785)

Ha! Lawrance is a much better defender than him, it is just his scoring that is impressive.

Wow age 21? I totally missed that. Ok I am wrong that player is incredible! Imagine having a guy like that on the U21. But how does he do it? I have trained 18 year olds 100% single position 48+ every week for the season guaranteed with a level six trainer and I still get about 8-10 pops a season. I just don't see how some people get 14+.

Upside that's unlikely to be turned into talent because he'll cost over 200k a week next season and no-one except for a NT farm, a B3 contender who's desperate, or someone who fails to understand BB economics will train him any further (except in JS, where he can gain 2 levels without raising his wage according to the wage calculators I used).
