They have to offer something so it can be called "trade". Weird I know and makes you wonder why not a present fourth round?

Pick 109 or we're out!

    Got a small update on Clarry today.....

    Was told that GWS is struggling to come up with the cash for Clarry's contract within their salary cap. This is all I was told.

    We can all make assumptions for what his means for the trade negotiations.

    Wait until they find out how much they’ll have to carve out of their soft cap to pay for his pre-season sunscreen

    does backending some of it make any difference to cap formula?

  • Quote

    No indication they will pul out of the trade.

    Probably just the reason why the trade hasn't happened yet and pick/contract are tied together.

    So GWS have gone off and taken him for a boozy boat ride and a tour of the facilities.

    They didn’t speak to us about trade cost

    They may not have the caps space

    WTF are they doing

    They may increase the trade currency if we increase our contribution of his contract.

    Might be an opportunity for us to snag P12 if we throw in some more cashola.

    Not sure who else we'll be paying if we don't get BH, Trac going and what, 50% of Clarries contract gone.

    I wouldn't be against 'buying' our way up the draft if there is something there we like.

    I don't believe this. Unless you're St.Kilda you wouldn't pursue someone and then realise you don't have the capspace to fit them in.

  • Quote

    What is likely happening is they have the money for a contract with us paying $700k/year but are also offering peanuts in a return with the pick.

    We are likely saying pay more of contract if you want to offer very little by way of a pick

    Hard to believe GWS don't have the cap space to take Oliver's non mfc salary.

    They would have roughly known the amount before wooing him on the boat.

    It is probably just a ploy to get mfc to take on more of his salary!

    So GWS have tabled their future 3rd rounder, with us paying 'a sizeable' portion of hos contract. Slightly insulting but what can you expect having forced him out i suppose.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
