Well if you take the 5 above 500k as an average of 600k ($3 million) and the 10 between $100k- $200k as an average of $150k ($1.5 million) you have 15 players getting $4.5 m and the remaining 29 players getting $6 m, or an average of ~$200k each. 

 

I'm reading that as about 9 players between $60-100k, 10 players between $100k-200k, 20 between $200-500k (averaging $265k) and 5 above $500k.

The median would then be somewhere between $200k-$265k.

 

Effectively, your top 5 players get above $500k.

Your next 10 get $265-500k

And the next 16-25 get $200-265k.

About what it should be, going by salary cap.

    It's ok to joke about it according to Stu because I'm white and male.

    We could never adopt a transport system. We derail...... Everything !! 

    Including SkyRail? There is hope yet ... :)

    Barrett just said that the Hawks are keen on Prestia, but are also very keen on Tom Mitchell as well, and there is every chance they could get both with the use of future picks IF they decide to play there.

    So much for equalisation, eh?  He didn't say if either wanted to play there, but that the Hawks have already met with Prestia and they are VERY keen on Mitchell.

    FWIW apparently front runners for Brad Crouch as well.

    They were one of the front runners for Dangerfield last year too, I recall.

    Hawks are just the easy one to spruik, because it's believable.

    Yup, their mids are getting older so they will need some younger guys to go through there, and ideally they wouldn't drop out of the top 4 in the process so it just makes sense that they'd be after these blokes.

    More surgery for O'Meara, has played his last game for 2016.

    Will be 23 at the start of next season with 0 AFL games in the last 2 years, while I think he will be a champ if he can get out on the park, the big IF about his body makes me think it would be easy to pay overs.  If we get him cheaply sweet, if not then at least we will not have to worry about his body breaking down again.

    Prestia would be my preferred candidate.

    I'd be having a very serious look at Brad Crouch, he's in great form at the minute, and his off field stuff seems to have knocked him behing O'meara, Prestia and Mitchell, 

    I reckon he's very gettable and has the explosive attributes that would really add to our midfield

    Fyfe still hasn't signed, RFA next year, how funny would that one be!

    I don't want this guy unless he is a moderate  cost.

    I would want to be very sure he is capable of playing most games over the next three years.

    Crouch would do me fine. He's having a top second half of the season. Another ball magnet.

    I would say this for both OD.

    I am really starting to think we do not need to chase them.

    Brad crouch will be staying at Adelaide.  I saw it on the news

    Strong word around the traps is that Prestia has committed to a Tigers on $3.5m over 5.

     

    I loathe that players can basically say 'trade me to x' and it's a given that it'll happen.

    That's good money for a bloke with knee issues.

    if the prestia-richmond rumour turns out to be true, that will be a surprise. who in their right mind would go there?! the tiges haven't won a flag in decades and don't look to be getting any closer. apart from the cash-moniez, why would a young, talented player join a club with no real future?! i mean, does he like their song, is that why?! admittedly, it is quite good.

    never did trust the traps, andrew..................we will find out soon enough anyway

    If true, very wise of our club not to entertain these sort of dollars with what we have to deal with.

    Thought it interesting as well, that Jon Anderson made a connection between ourselves and Hurley just to digress.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
