    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.

    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)?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
