Wouldn't think Weid would have got a big increase to be honest. What other players have we re-signed this year who would have had big rises?

Would think any rise Weid (and probably Frost) got would have been cancelled out by the reduction in Jones' new deal. Guessing of course.

Weideman took a few dollars as too did Brayshaw and Tom Mac last year. Add Frost as well.

In the case of the last three the problem is that our medium term projections would have had them signing at lower figures but their re-signing co-incided with major form improvements. Lewis and Garlett decreases would have been budgeted for a while.

I suspect Jones is one of the first to pay the cost of the unbudgeted increases. Hibberd could be next. The other unknown is the increase in total player payments following the next TV negotiations.

    I don't know figures obviously, as none of us would, but gut feel is Weid and Frost wouldn't have had big pay rises. Weid due to his form, and Frost due to his career to date. Jones last signed an extension after winning 3 consecutive Blueys, so his pay cut would have those minor pay rises more than covered IMO.

    Brayshaw and TMac would have already been in considerations for this year so I wouldn't think their contracts would make much change to our budget for outside players this year. Just as Lewis and Garlett leaving would have been figured in.

    From memory, when the TPP changed last time everyone got a raise across the board.

    It's the next couple of years that are the tester more than this one IMO.

    We have to hope Mahoney manages things well and that we can turn the ship around a bit so weren't not relying solely on money being the attraction.

    Yes, good point, plus Mahoney and co have a number of FD positions to fill, which may influence attracting players over the next couple of years.

    Agree.  If we got Newnes and Tomlinson that would be HUGGGGGE. Need Richardson to get into Newnes ear. Offer a 4 year deal.  He is a very good player.

    Newnes stats and ball use efficiency very ordinary towards the end of season. Saints/Ratten would be happy to let him go I would think. Richo maybe a fan of his but Ratten not so...

     Newnes would benefit from a change of clubs.

    Both Tomlinson and Newnes can kick the footy. I watched the Giants v Bulldogs game and skilful delivery of the footy into forward 50 is critical.

    Hmm. 

    Not bloody Sam Jacobs?!

    S Jacobs > sauce > tomato sauce > napoli sauce > basil required ingredient 

    Tell me I’m wrong!

    Someone stated elsewhere that Jamie Elliot was a free agent and in MFC sights. Maybe that is the other free agent. Not sure I like the idea but have to trust the footy dept.

    I would love Jamie Elliott, if he can stay fit. Can’t see him leaving the Pies, tho’.

    If that’s the case... Yes to Elliot.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
