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.

    The Roos are no chance of securing him.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
