Would this be our first free agent signing since Shannon Byrnes?

 

 

I believe so. We’ve just lost them going the other way. Time we start landing some free agents for no trade cost!

Tomlinson will be a good get for us.

So he's been mostly a regular in the GWS team this year but some think not good enough for us ?????

The problem is how we fit these guys into the salary cap and how we manage those coming out of contract this year. 

Someone remind plz if we delist a contracted player for medical reasons I.e Avb or KK, do we take a hit on salary cap with the payout? Cos that's the only way we could land Langdon and Tomlinson ... cant imagine how we get Laird in.

He will be a good get for free. If he works out then it's a win, if he doesn't then we didn't lose a thing really.

We have to get him first.

True. But that's the same for any player you chase. 

If we do get him in free agency, then I think it's a shrewd piece of business for the club.

Wouldn't think we're currently paying 100% of the cap and need to delist contracted players to afford one. Especially given Lewis & Garlett are gone already.

Frawley, Rivers, Sylvia, Moloney. Sure they’re not really superstars, but we haven’t had any superstars for a long time. In that group is an All Australian defender who’s now a premiership player, a BnF winner, a Rising Star and an unfulfilled talent who was a pick 3.

We’ve acquired Shannon Byrnes.

We definitely need to make more use of free agency. Not saying it was the wrong move, but we gave up pick 6 for May and we could’ve got him trade free as a free agent a year later instead. Our drafting has suffered the past few years and no one (other than Lewis) wants to come our club as we are traditionally weak and Aden now a basket case again. Back to paying overs to lure talent again!

With delistings and retirements we'll lose a fair bit off the cap. Losing Lewis and Garlett's contracts will help as well as what i'm sure will be further delistings + trades. Doubt we'd even be right at that cap at the moment and will probably only face those issues over the next 2-3 years when more of our "better" players come out of contract and start demanding more.

We have removed the Lewis and Garlett contract amounts (amongst others), but on the other hand we've re-signed a number of players (eg. Weid) on what would probably be increased amounts.

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.

Plus Jones is on far less than his previous contract. 

I agree others would be on more too, but we have certainly opened up more room for this off season.

At the time Frawley was a big loss, despite him not bothering too much in his last season.

losing him to Hawthorn and rivers to the cats, demonstrated very clearly the flaws of free agency. Top teams raiding the bottom ones. It stunk (still not over it, it would seem!)

I see the Kangas are into Goldstein, interesting.. 

North are all set to trade for Goldy with their first pick. They get two players for the price of one.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
