According to who? We had a spare $800k for Degoey that we never used last year. It can’t be that tight.
I wonder whether retired Jason Castagna(27) is worth recruiting. He was a role player at the Tigers.PLAYERCARDSTART11Jason Castagna

Everyone loves The Girth.Yeah, absolute cultural leader. Even the women's side love him. He's the type of player that the club will want to keep on staff after he finishes up. He's like a dietician, psychologist, social club director, indigenous cultural officer, trainer and vice captain in one body. Great in interviews too, really happy to discuss his career turnaround and take full ownership of why he struggled to make it at North. I thought he'd be another McKernan who'd take a spot for a year and disappear into obscurity.
Clubs budget for their best players extensions before offering big money to an opposition player.Re-signed Wilkie, Sincs and Hig mid year. Would have rightly paid good coin to Wilks & Sincs, probably paid Hig at the top of his personal market too.
Isn't Billings contracted for next two years?I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Billings is likely gone
Gresh Gone
Howard gone for the right price
Membrey potentially gone for the right price
Zones on a significantly reduced contract
Clark and Coffield a 50/50 to stay
McKenzie likely delisted due to injury
that would be a significant amount coming off the books, and would also be most of the hyperinflated contracts that we have
I'm led to believe we have signed all our best players all around 700k to 600k which is a feat in it self.Re-signed Wilkie, Sincs and Hig mid year. Would have rightly paid good coin to Wilks & Sincs, probably paid Hig at the top of his personal market too.
He can't even get into our best 22 so he is gone if someone wants him and there are a few with injury concerns that are on around the same money that will most probably be put out for trade like Jones , McKenzie and the talk of Gresham , Clark and Howard leaving is going to give us a war chest if only a few are moved on.Isn't Billings contracted for next two years?
Would need a genuine Buyer and likely a team in the premiership window given his profile.
It would be a bitter pill to swallow to let him go for a 3rd rounder given he was Pick 3 and should be in his prime now. Unfortunately 3rd rounder is fair for a fringe player. He lacks that competitive edge too often.
Except he's a fringe player worth a 3rd rounder who's on $500k ****ing bucks a year. We'll probably have to pay the kents to take him if anyone ever does.Isn't Billings contracted for next two years?

Whatever he might be criticized for, Gags was not reckless with the dollars. Though he didn't have much elite talent to throw it at anyway.I'm led to believe we have signed all our best players all around 700k to 600k which is a feat in it self.
Steele , King , Marshall , Sinclair , Wilkie , Crouch
Only having Hill on overs with most of the others on the base salary and having around 12 first and second players on the bare minimum I would fully expect them to have a war chest for a player if needed.
Teams like Carlton would be splitting at the sides with some of the contracts and with a few of the players failing to live up to expectations like Williams , Miller , McGovern - it's the reason the DeKoing contract draged out because now they have to cull a couple players to fit them in and by the sounds Fisher and Silvagni will be edged out.
However a lot of clubs are in the same boat - Dogs , Suns , GWS.
Gallagher being a ex-international Banker has left us in a very good position to pay our up coming stars and have enough of a war chest to get a player that we really need if one becomes available.
If that was the case he would kept for depth unless Ross just wants him gone.Except he's a fringe player worth a 3rd rounder who's on $500k ****ing bucks a year. We'll probably have to pay the kents to take him if anyone ever does.
Yeah I suspect he is on good coin. I don't think he will get traded. Should see out his Contract especially if Gresh departs. After his two years probably to the AFL scrap heap unless something miraculous happens and he finds fitness and form.Except he's a fringe player worth a 3rd rounder who's on $500k ****ing bucks a year. We'll probably have to pay the kents to take him if anyone ever does.
We don't need depth players, that's for premiership teams. We need young players to churn through.If that was the case he would kept for depth unless Ross just wants him gone.
We are 6th and with the kids we already have the only way for us now is up.We don't need depth players, that's for premiership teams. We need young players to churn through.
Gallagher being a ex-international Banker
He's not OK. Not even close.We should see if Koszitche want to come to us then. He looks okay.
Seriously. My mum always ran a good household budget when I was growing up. Salary caps aren’t nothing more. International banker got to be kidding. Rhyming slang perhaps. Would be so easy to develop a spreadsheet formula based on player rankings to keep it humming. Ridiculouserr no. He worked at a bank, but was not a banker. He was basically a Sales/Business Development Manager at an Australian State Level. He was not in the actual banking part of the business. Not in the international banking sector.

You would think so, except that every large Australian company is incapable of doing so and are continually being exposed for underpaying their staff.Seriously.

Not just limited to Australia. You don't become a large company by being fair, good, or decent.You would think so, except that every large Australian company is incapable of doing so and are continually being exposed for underpaying their staff.
That's just the entreeKosi, Castagne and Durdin. This joint is bananas.

Happy to keep Gresh on modest money.TWIST IN GRESHAM FUTURE
The pendulum might have swung back in favour of Jade Gresham remaining at St Kilda given his excellent recent form.
The Saints had postponed talks on contracts for many of their mid-tier players, which is why Hunter Clark is still a person of interest for rival clubs despite a solid year.
But while Hawthorn and Carlton have both been linked to mid-forward Gresham, St Kilda is now very keen to re-sign the restricted free agent.
His recent form playing some more midfield time has allowed him to finish the year strongly with contests including his 22-possession, three-goal outing against Richmond.
He is averaging nearly two direct score assists in the past six weeks and his score involvements are up.
St Kilda seems happy to go back to the draft with their early picks and could secure another selection for Dougal Howard, with Moneyball revealing last month he could be on the move.
But given Gresham would be unlikely to trigger first-round compensation if he left, the smart play is to re-sign him rather than see him leave for an early-30s draft selection.
SUN’S TALKS PROGRESS
Victorian clubs chasing Gold Coast midfielder Sam Flanders might be rebuffed as talks continue over a four-year deal.
The 22-year-old from Fish Creek in Gippsland finished the year with a superb fortnight, racking up possession tallies of 36 (five clearances) and 29 (two goals).
The deal is not done yet but the Suns believe they are in a good position on that deal given he is getting serious midfield time in a team about to welcome Damien Hardwick.
Elijah Holland could move back to Melbourne despite being contracted, while clubs will surely ask about Chris Burgess (contracted to 2024) given his 51-goal VFL season from only 17 games.
