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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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)?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
