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.

Expand  

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. 

Expand  

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.

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.
