Apparently the Roos are offering 5 years @ 800k per year

As if he would be mad enough to go to a rock bottom club?

    Of course they are.  They'll be waving bags of cash at any footballer with a heartbeat and two working legs this offseason.

    I would be interested to know who Demonlanders would prefer Williams or Papley?

    Would love both. Happy with either both bring something we lack.

    that surprises me as all the talk is they are going in to a rebuild

    Which is why they'll probably have salary cap to burn. They're pretty much pushing Brown out the door, who else is chewing up their cap? Over recent years they've offered big money to Dusty, Kelly and De Goey and have fewer veterans on their list each year.

    maybe, but i don't think they will put a lot of that money into a big messiah deal, i think they'd rather use that money to pick a range of lesser players from other clubs until their new draftees get upto scratch. guy like zac won't want to be a club building from scratch, he's been there before and wants a crack with a club in or near the window

    Papley can win a game off his own boot, would much rather him at $800k than Williams

    Yep. Would be very surprised if he landed anywhere other than Carlton. Need Tomlinson to get in his ear

    Decent player but to me he seems like one of those players that have a couple Of good years moves clubs on big $$ then doesn't live up to it.

    Continues to surprise me how they always seem to target these players. They got Martin with a million dollar contract last year. Even with the retirees, they shouldn’t be able to afford him. 
     

    We absolutely need to nail this one more than a key forward. LJ and Pickett will grow next year and will be that much better.

    Martin would not be on a $1m a year, he would be about $500 - 600k max

    In 2020 Jack Martin was on slightly over $1m and was the 6th highest paid player in the league ahead of stars like Bontempelli, Dangerfield, Gawn etc. In future years his salary will be much lower as it was a front-loaded deal. Even front-loaded, it's still a poor deal IMO. He wouldn't be in the top 100 players in the league and is worth nowhere near what the Blues pay him now or in future.

    As for Williams, he'd be a good get if the price was right. He had a good 2019 when he got more midfield time, but otherwise his career output has been hit and miss. He's likely not worth what he's going to get paid either. He's a 500-600k type player.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. He's a good player and, at times, a very good player but I'm not getting the huge hype. I know people talk about him moving into the midfield but I also don't see him as any more than a pinch hitter there.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
