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.

    Is Mark Stevens an Essendom supporter?

    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...

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
