    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

    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.

    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)?

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
