Gives us the chance to throw cash at Petty to extend beyond 2025

Reckon this is massively oversold.

Grundy to Fullarton: clears 300-400k+
JJ to McAdam: wash
Hibberd: planned retirement 
Harmes to:? Probably clears 300-400k
Dunstan: owed plenty of injury payments 
 

Pickett, JVR, Woey, Chandler, McVee would all take nice bumps. That’s 5 x 200k right there.

I hope we come out nicely ahead but far from a war chest.

The war chest will come when we get the old key forwards off the books.

Harmes is reported to be on 550k for his final year.

The Key fowards will come off our list next year. Conservative guess that clears 500-600k for the both of them.

All the players you named for contract bumps have already got contracts beyond 2025+ and won't need a boost until then. 

Salary cap has also increased from the latest EBA.

So right now I would put this years savings approx $1mil, 5-600k next year, in the background is an increased salary cap.

The main ooc playes next year are Langdon, Sparrow, Bowey and they won't break the bank.

We should have good money to make a significant play next year in my view.

Harmes is  in 500k easily

If we aren’t paying any? And we still need someone for the list spot.

Pick 7 and Haynes? 


Surely, there's a world where we've looked to clear cap space to increase our offer to Petty...

I doubt Petty has anything to do with it. I’m presuming they’re in talks with a key forward from somewhere.

I think it might be the bloke that wears number 2 that they're looking to offer a large extension to

Is there where we put the Nick Haynes Pick 7 Salary Dump conversation?

 

Yeah, dump it here. But it will cost you…

 

And I don’t want you rocking up to training

Why not just hold him on his current 2 year contract?

We can, and then guarantee long term planning with a long term commitment from Harry.

Where has this Haynes and pick 7 salary dump talk come from? Just rumours? Also, are we supposedly linked to it? Thanks in advance.

Wishful thinking it seems

No worries.

With the new CBE what was the increase in total cap spend? Can’t we just give that to Petts? 
 

I recall that not many existing contracts were bound to the CBE increases.

So every other decent team has room in the cap to improve their lists (Coll Schulz, Bris Doedee, Port BZT & Ratagolea), but we're dumping players for chicken feed? There better a bigger payoff to come than has been mooted to date.

Does anyone know if contracts can be restructured after signing to be front ended?

If we don't make a move this year for a player, we have dead cap space that is not being utilised in 2024.

Could existing deals be reworked to fill in the cap void in 2024 to free up space the following year(s)?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
