Is there any way we could include their salary? (Estimated of course)

It would be an interesting exercise to know how much cap space we have.

 

Would be pretty hard to guess. Some would be front end, others back end. Some would be similar each year.

Plus the media can over estimate salaries for a lot of players.

I remember an AFL player was a client at a company I work at and he was a pretty high profile player. I saw his annual salary and it was less than I thought he would've been getting....

ELDiablo I think you would need to get the players and player managers to agree and it would have to be league wide and a guess is just a guest.

I think we can at least divide them in 'tiers'.

Tier 1 for bonafide superstars like Petracca, Oliver and Max

Tier 2 for starting 22 type players like Viney, Langdon, Fritsch 

And so on.

Just to have a rough idea of how much the club can spend during any given offseason.

Imagine what a nightmare job it would be ELDiablo14 trying to manage 44-46 players salary’s the players you would miss out on because you can’t fit them in the cap and the ones you need to move on to free up spots, etc. How stressful would it be.!

I would also be letting Hore go, he is very very slow when he gets the ball, much rather try a kid!

The 2024 list has been talked about

The 2025 list only has 2 certainties to go

But the 2026 list only has 2 that I would say are certain to get contracts extended.  Either through age or failure to meet expectations of improvement (doesn't mean they won't improve by then).

Is there a reason why Judd McVee has not signed beyond 2025?

I've been told we are in extension talks with him now

So 10 players aged 30+ next year, all of whom missed games this year through injury (except Jack the unbreakable).

Let's hope they can all stay on the park next year!

But you'd guess 3 of them might not be there. So say 7 out of 45.  I think only 5 would get regular games.  Maybe I'm wrong

I'd like to open this to hear everyone's thoughts on our out of contract players and potential list changes.

To my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the mandatory three delistings have already been achieved through Brown, Brayshaw, and Smith. With that said, my thoughts for the following are below:

- Sign McDonald if possible. As a UFA losing him will serve us absolutely no gain unless if he's asking for too much from a salary cap perspective (following a good season down back).

- Promote Hore to the main list. I actually rate him as a player and believe he wasn't given enough opportunity to string multiple games together at the AFL level (clearly a step-up from VFL). He will be a cheap acquisition to the main list and provides great depth as a ready-made player (at worst).

- Likewise for Melksham. If he's not ready to hang up the boots, I feel he still has plenty to offer and will come cheap from a salary cap perspective. At worst, he provides excellent depth to the forward line as a ready-made AFL player. He's touted to be an excellent club-man and currently given our alleged culture that in itself is worth gold.

- Promote Moniz-Wakefield, simply because I like the cut of your jib :)

- Absolutely DELIST Schache, surely a reason isn't required.

- Delist Hunter and Tomlinson if better players or depth can be acquired to replace them (such as Houston and Parker).

- Not too fazed by the rest of them.

 

Please share your thoughts.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
