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.

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.

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)?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
