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).

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
