    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.

    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)?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
