Gee Franklin is getting paid well to be injured!

No real surprises in our list for me. Gawn obviously our best player of the last 4-5 years and deserves to be highest paid, as well as being captain of the club. I would expect his next contract will be on a reduced number so as to get our side together as much as possible over the next 5 years.

Clarry already a 2 time B&F winner and all-Australian so enough said.

Lever & Mar yet to justify their salaries, though they are trending in the right direction.

Geelong don't pay anyone around or more than $1m so surprised to see Danger there.

Surprised Patrick Cripps isn't there.  AA, Club Captain, 2019 MVP, 4th in 2019 Brownlow etc.

He, Pendlebury, Tom Mitchell and Josh Kelly are at or over $1m.

Cripps was number 11 at the same range as Max.

Selwood was also number 13 at the $850k - 900k mark (just to go with what Danger is being paid).

Pendles was number 16, Josh Kelly was 19 and Tom Mitchell was 37.  O'Meara is paid more this year than he is.

Is that Jack Martin from Carlton ? If so then there is something seriously wrong.

It is - but they would have front loaded his contract to outbid everyone else, although we were the only other team that might have had a look before their pick.  He will be on much less in the coming few years.

Paul Marsh on the Radio now saying this article is a complete croc of...

The information is simply not available to journalists.

Typical HUN article from Slobbo and Jon Ralph and others

I'd be very surprised if it's wrong by much other than the degree of front and back loading. Football clubs leak and it is the job of managers and journalists etc to know these things.

Given the salary cap and the need to maintain a reasonable degree of pay relativity it's not an impossible exercise by any means.

Would be very interested to know the advantage salary wise that the power clubs get from player loyalty (the desire to be at a successful club with a real premiership chance.)My guess is that it could be anywhere between 5 and 10%. There is also the advantage that the Eagles have with WA players wanting to play locally. MFCSS warns me that we could be training Nic Nats replacement.

It’s none of anyone’s business unless the Club is over the salary cap.

So we have 4 players earning around $700k that being Gawn, Lever, May and McDonald. Should we think about chasing a big fish in Cameron, Williams or Daniher? seeing as we have no 1st round draft picks and plenty of Cap space leftover presumably.

We also have, if you believe these figures:

56. Viney $675 - $725K

59. McDonald $675K - $725K

66. Petracca $650K - $700K

86. Brayshaw $600K - $650K

That would give a minimum of $5.6M between eight players. It is hard to imagine we have too much cap space available once you bring in Melksham, Hibberd, Langdon, Tomlinson and Harmes who would get another $2M - $2.5M between them.

If you accept the figures we have 8 players in the top 100. On a simple distribution between clubs it should be no more than 6.

Not sure what you can read into that but I expect we are overpaying some.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
