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)?

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
