Our top 10 paid players

[Soidee 1,496]

Apart from our skipper, and maybe Dawes, Vince and Herieter Lumumba, I have no idea. It's an interesting scenario if our top ten highest paid are comparable to money paid to the top 10 players in the top 6 teams.

I know the salary cap plays a part, and I would be interested to know if we will have plenty of coin available to lure an A grade midfielder?

I don't want to get into what players deserve what they get etc, however it's relevant if they are continually under performing .

A more interesting question would be, who SHOULD our top 10 paid players be?

Soooooo you think Hogan should be in our top 10 highest paid? Edited June 18, 2015 by Ethan Tremblay

[MadAsHell 4,088]

1. N. Jones (skipper should get the most)

2. Hogan

3. T. McDonald

4. Vince

5. Petracca

6. Brayshaw

7. Viney

8. Tyson

9. Salem

10. Cross

Is what it should be. For what it actually is i'd expect Dawes, Lumumba, Garland, Dunn, Watts and Trenners to all be up in there ahead of the kids.

Um well obviously

[Lucifers Hero 37,174]

Best guess:

$500+ Jones, Dawes, Hogan (from 2016)

$300- $500 Grimes (ex capt salary), Trengove (ex capt salary), Watts, Lumumba, Vince, Dunn, Jamar, Garland, McDonald

Not much change their in 2016 (excluding list changes) except include Howe on the list.

In a few years I would Viney, Salem, Petracca, Tyson, Hogan, Brayshaw etc to be up there.

In terms of the salary cap Mahoney said early this season that we at the max.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,436]

Thanks for clarifying.

[Ted Lasso 16,874]

Hogan doesn't go up in pay til next year which is a lazy increase of nearly half a mil a year haha

Id say

Jones

Dawes

Lamumba

Vince

Tyson

Mcdonald

Dunn

Grimes

Trengove

Dunn

Petracca over Bradshaw but he hasn't played any games? interesting.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Can we actually publish what they are atm??

[Matt Demon 1,387]

Dawes should be expecting a pay cut!

[Moonshadow 16,275]

Remember hearing Lumumba was on $600k and Dawes $650k. What they should get is a whole other matter.

Reckon Jones must be on about $750k, Hogan $500k and Vince $450k. Just a guess, of course.

Most of them are grossly over paid Song

i know, many have said on here before (and i totally agree), that as we all have to pay roughly similar salary caps it is disgusting to think that some players on our list are on the same amount of money as the good/great/excellent/elite players at your league leading clubs such as Sydney, Hawks, Freo etc.

Hogan signed a two year extension at over 500k a year before he'd played a game.

Hogan is an exception to all rules and anything that came before, in every aspect of football and life.

Totally agree. That's why I get so annoyed when the coach talks about a lack of effort on the part of the players. Most of them are ridiculously overpaid. It's a shame the Club has to pay up to the cap, and the players cant be paid on a performance basis.

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,941]

Players have all sorts of clauses in their contracts that are of benefit to them, I wonder if the club has any of their in there?

Rhetorical question....

have been thinking as much, our only hope is that Grimes and Dawes had their contracts heavily front loaded. If we managed it right we could offer massive $$$$ to lure someone and not stuff our list going forward in terms of player retention.

all i know is that every year we say we "have a war chest" to go and lure/catch a big fish. Every year we end up empty handed and have to go and buy a fillet-o-fish at Maccas instead. I'd prefer the club don't say anything rather than get my hopes up.

To be fair, I'm not sure this has been the message since Roos arrived. He, Taylor and Viney have gone about their business efficiently and quietly.
