After a quiet start to the 2020 season and a split from his manager, questions are being asked about the value of out-of-contract Collingwood star Jordan De Goey.
Footy Classifiedย panellist and former Port Adelaide star Kane Cornes said on the Channel Nineย program that De Goey's numbers don't warrant a seven-figure salary.
โI just think he needs to be put under the spotlight a little bit,โ Cornes said.
โHe is not a million-dollar player. If he is asking for a million dollars you canโt be averaging 14 disposals, have two tackles and kick half a goal a game.
โHe didnโt have a tackle again on Friday night, he touched it 10 times, he didnโt kick a goal โ he is still inaccurate in front of goal, so he is unreliable there. Heโs kicked 2.6 for the year.
โHe needs to be working harder and if heโs not getting the ball, he needs to apply fierce defensive pressure.
โHe needs a lift in form and the Pies need it badly.โ
De Goey, 24, has previously rejected lucrative contracts from North Melbourne and St Kilda in 2018 to sign a two-year deal with the Magpies.
