"Scott Watters goes to me 'mate, I'm going to play you every single week no matter what, even if you're playing rubbish, I'll keep playing you week in week out.' I was like 'you beauty, sold me the farm. Done, sign me up.' Anyway, I'm driving from Sydney to Melbourne, literally as I cross the border at Albury Wodonga I get a phone call from Bainesy (Ameet Bains, then COO at St Kilda). He goes 'I got news for you, we've just sacked Scott Watters mate'. I was like 'Oh my God, what have I done!'" - Josh Bruce on his move from GWS to St Kilda and the termination of then coach Scott Watters' contract #AFLTrade

@SRMcIntosh @Robertson_SJ Fascinating paper, well done both

🚨NEW PAPER 🚨 with @Robertson_SJ We explore player performance with respect to the timing of player contract signings. 💡Players who signed mid-season saw performances before signing as above expected, and showed a drop in performance post signing. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@MathieuFeigean @Robertson_SJ Hey Mathieu, yeah of course. It was actually published with open access, so you should just be able to click the link in the tweet & it will take you to the site where you can download it. Thanks for showing interest.
