Jeff White and Adam Yze cut saves Dees $1 million

[Mousey 47]

Mousey, Clint is right. Post the link not the whole articlequote]

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

You can't just copy and paste the whole article.

You need to provide a link.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

How could it be 1 mil?

Neither would have been on more than 500K a year, and weren't they veterans? Or was that only JMac and Neita?

[Guest melbman]

Interesting article

Connolly is quoted for comments re White, Yze, Carroll, Holland & Green but the Warnock and Davey comments are not attributed to anyone.

With regard to the Davey comments does he have a source or has he been reading 'land and 'ology?

Jeff White and Adam Yze cut saves Demons about $1m

[JACKATTACK 17]

Interesting, though I am beginning to wonder if the media ever put up trade possibilities that don't somehow invlolve a player's brother.

And if I see Hird writing another article about himself in the HUN i'm going write a letter.

Sorry for not providing the link!

Hird must be really struggling to write about current football.....whilst frankly I've had enough of Sheedy's stories, I would of thought Hird could of written something relevant to today or even relate it to the likes of the Bulldogs or Saints who lost on the weekend and what the players may be feeling. But he didn't.

If we missed out on Warnock in the PSD would getting Alwyn Davey be an option for us in the PSD?

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,777]

As if Essendon would let Davey go. He's one of the rare talented youngsters they've got.

Please Demon supporters, don't pin your hopes on Alwyn coming to Melbourne. As Bailey and Stynes have said, we're not interested in trading picks, and I reckon we'll use our PSD pick on a kid that got overlooked in the national draft. The club won't take quick fixes at this stage.

I'm as guilty as any one when it comes to posting whole articles and have done so here more than once <_< , I thought I'd contact the Australian to see what their thinking was and here is the response. I've changed all my details to Blank:

Hi Blank,

Thanks for your email. It’s pretty simple, really – under copyright law you can’t copy and re-publish any original writing that appears in The Australian. You should link to it and/or paraphrase with link. It is an infringement to republish our content without permission and I’m afraid we will seek to enforce that copyright.

By all means post my response, and thanks for taking an interest in The Aus.

Hi Nic

I have a question regarding copyright and the Internet and how it relates to articles from your site being copied to online forums

I assume that it is an infringement of copyright to copy and entire article from your website into an online forum, is that correct?

What actually is allowed under copyright law in Oz as far as copying articles or part of an article as well as posting links to your articles

Cheers in advance

Blank Blank

PS. May I post your response online for the benefit of others?

Well done Melbman.

This site has been subject to another media outfit throwing a fit because a poster replicated an article in full.

Please post the link to the site.

Now back to the story......

[rusty_kingswood 0]

I find it strange that (if correct) the club still havent spoken to Carrol in regards to the MM incident. If corretct, I think its preety stiff that they have spoken to the union and 8 MFC players, before getting Nathons side of teh story. Shite effort I think.

I was under the impression (from many posters on here) that Warnock was almost a done deal. Now iam not so confident...???

[Guest redandbluethruandthru]

If we could get Alwyn Davey it would be a massive boost for our midfield but I cannot see how we would snare him unless it involved a trade of one of our untouchables ie Brad Green or Cam Bruce but even then would be massively unlikely. <-------- nice long sentence there.

R_K, nothing is over the line until it's a done deal. And it won't be until after the season. We'll all know for sure at the conclusion of trade week, ie If he slips through to the PSD.

Very true.

As an out of contract ruckman, personally, I would be looking at Carlton.

A Possible premiership within 3 years and a spot on the Visy board worth a 100,000 mil a year, thankyou very much!!

Taking off my Dees 'bias' hat for a second. You can certainly understand a kid, 21, out of contract and wanting to be a part of a premiership side, that he would be looking at a Carlton, even a Richmond , and seeing a nucleus there that would be attractive to young Robbie.

Hopefully he was really impressed by the Dees presentation and the trump card in playing along side his brother is enough to sway him to Melbourne.

Don't start me on VISY and Pratt's influence.

[Mono 455]

How could it be 1 mil?

I am absolutely staggered if combined they were getting >$1M. Good god. Who's responsible? Cameron? Daniher? Who's been footy manager over the past few years? So what's Bruce getting?????? (We have all assumed around $400K to $450K) May be $600K, $700K? Good heavens. No wonder Green wants more.

Thank heavens Gardner (and McNamee - the jBrown man) are gone.

Head shaking ... Head shaking ... Head shaking ... Head shaking ... Head shaking ... Head shaking ... Head shaking ...

Thats just it. Is it enough?

I wouldnt be suprised if its enough that he is just back in the same state as his brother and getting fat cheque each year.

Lets hope not.

R_K, have a read of this, you may feel better:

I still don't get how it saves us a million, i get how it saves us around $580,000 though

Yeah I have read that.

My point is though, that, a young talented ruckman like Warnock, I would have thought, would be alot more interested in a club like Carlton than Melbourne at this stage. I certianly hope I am wrong.

We have first pick, but hes under no obligation to come to Melb.

White and Yze were on big contracts, especially Yze.

Thats the thing about contracts, you get the big money when your really good, and you will usually get it for a year or two when your [censored] as well.

Yze this season was on 500k plus.

[beelzebub 23,313]

I'll repost this here..as seems more relevent:

Theres a very good chance both Y and W were on back ended contracts..as we wernt to flash currency wise a few years back. I mean ..we arent now..but worse then. Amounts may not reflect true seasonal worth..just this years payments.

of course..could be entirely wrong !!

Id say your right, contracts are usually backended, especially our bigger ones from years past. Yze and Bruce both had big back ended contracts, Bruce will be having his last big money year this season, he will make the most next season than he ever has.

[PhilReadFury 1]

Back ended contracts....

ie. For each: 1 million over 3 years

Year 1 $200k

Year 2 $300k

Year 3 $500k

Pure speculation here.
