Why do you think Saad is worth? Definitely around the range for what is being offered.  As for Williams he will be on a bigger contract year 1 but evens itself out after that.  Don’t get sucked into what the media say, they are just guessing 

Won't matter what you offer Dodoro. You could offer him the Eiffel Tower and he would want something else. He is a muppet.

As for the media they know what most contracts are worth. Keep in mind, agents are pumping the media full of information to boost the worth of their player.

Oh we have 3 clubs interested. 800-900k a year blah blah blah.

A club then comes along and says we'll give your fine foot soldier $750k for 5 yea

    If you look at what the media has said in regards to Williams, it has ranged from 700 - 900k.  There is no way he is on anything above 750k

    Wait, aren’t Kia and Hyundai the same company? I’m sure the scum would be able to offer a Kia of commensurate value.

    Time for Jaguar to assist with our recruitment. 

     

    Forget about it, he isn’t going anywhere. Essendon have already counter offered this from Super Amart.

    He’s a diehard Dogs fan in case this is a serious question.

    If Essendon is keeping Saad by offering him way over the odds it's to their detriment. Fantastic.

    I wonder if Lockhart's omission and a potential delisting is tied up with discussions we might have been having with Saad over the past month or 3 (As well as relating to list size downgrading)

    Not much point playing a small defender if he wont be getting a game next year and beyond.

    How can you ruin a young players career on this sort of logic.

    Yes I was annoyed and disappointed that Jay missed the last few rounds but he is a future back pocket fir a decade and his ability will win out in 2021.

    Surely they'd offer him a SAAD SAAB?

    I reckon we shifted gear a while ago.

    We missed a golden oppurtunity last year with Jack Martin....and theyve done us again with Saad. Deep pockets and lots of brown paper bags down there at carlton. imo he was exactly what we needed.

    I reckon they're massively overspending on guys who aren't core members of the team. If they were spending big and bringing in the likes of Patrick Cripps, sure, but they're spending massive dollars on half forwards and half backs. They are still yet to address their midfield. 

    What happens when Charlie Curnow makes it back (if he does)? Where do they find the money to pay him? How do they find the money to fit in another midfielder or two that they desperately need?

    Carlton have a good spine, but their midfield is weak and unless they vastly improve this, they won't win a flag.

    Disappointing once again that we've missed out on a player that fits a great need for us.

    Carlton are building a potent list while we have more holes then a Swiss cheese with ours.

    They've done exceptionally well.

    Disappointing, would have been brilliant for us on off the backline.  I do wonder if Carlton are leaving themselves open for a raid of their younger talent with the amount they are spending on flankers.

  • Quote

    He has something we need, so it's disappointing to miss out yet again.

    But also, how are the Blues able to pay all these players under the salary cap?
    Jack Martin was the 6th highest paid player in the league this year, on more than Bontempelli, Dangerfield, Gawn, Neale etc. How can they afford to pay Saad 700k+ and Williams 800k+. It doesn't add up...

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
