Zac Williams

If the Blues are genuinely paying this bloke 900k per year, he and Jack Martin will combine for around 2 million dollars per season. 

incredible stuff considering they're not key position players 

good players but i feel like they're eating too big a slice of the salary cap for the output they bring.

Didn't Papley want $800-900k from Carlton last year?

He's not worth that money. We are near our cap and got players wanting new contracts.

He'll go to a club who don't give a toss about their payment structure and their future list mangement like Ess or Carlton.

And what do you know Zac has decided to go to Carlton.???

That's a real surprise.?

Plus they are paying way overs for McGovern as well. Lot of outlay for not much between the 3 of them.

Officially exploring Free Agency.  Linked to North and Carlton.

Edit:  Oops, didn't see the new thread...

I can't believe we are not linked to him. He's exactly what we need.

Tom Morris just mentioned at half time that Carlton are paying around the 850 to 900k for Williams ??

Hopefully that leaves Saad to us then. They’ve been linked to him too. I can’t see them fitting him in, but it is Carlton, he can get a role promoting cardboard for a million on the side

If the market is willing to pay massive overs, you don't compete with the market like that for a speedy half back flanker. Would be very dumb list management.

That's the thing about free agency. the price of players gets so inflated. i don't think it's worth chasing a big money free agent unless you feel it's the last piece of the puzzle, or it's someone you can build around. someone like Williams is not worth 900k for the role he plays. i'd argue Saad can be equally as damaging and we won't be paying him that much if he comes.

While I think he is a very good player and will be good for Carlton that is crazy money if true. I think he mentioned that GWS’s offer was 700 - 750k per year, they must have a lot of players on minimum wages.

He's not that good. Glad he chose Carlton and they can have him. If money is correct they will have more problems than fixes. Players will not be happy giving a back flanker who is injury prone and is not a star that sort of cash. Wait for the fall out from Carlton players.

Query with Zac Williams is availability not performance.

Has only once had back to back 22 game seasons and only 3 22 + game seasons.

11, 8, 12, 22, 23, 2, 24, 11*

Whereas Adam Saad

16, 10, 22, 22. 22., 17*

*17 game home and away season.

If you're paying Zac big $ for 5 years your fingers are crossed that he'll be on the park consistently. High reward if he is. Cap risk if he's sitting in the stands.

Yeah agree, Gary Lyon was very quick to mention that there young key position players would be wanting more than him on their next contracts.

What's potentially missing from this is the ongoing/long term impact from Covid in 2021.

It's not clear things will be back to normal next year, at all.

So what happens if clubs aren't getting gate receipts. Where is the income coming from to fund these contracts, and what does it potentially mean for staffing football departments and ancillary functions of clubs.

We could be at a point of commencing season 2021 across QLD, Radelaide and WC, again.

Interesting times ahead.

I love it how if we got Williams he would've been a gun back flanker that offers speed and foot skills but because we didn't he is definitely not worth that amount of money and isn't that good. lol

I'd be filthy at the club if we had coughed up that much coin for him. Its not so much that he isn't good, because he is a great footballer, but no way in hell is he worth that money.

Carlton are a laughing stock.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
