Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXV - 'Loopy' Season has begun

Perfect club for him. His character will thrive at *.

Jake Stringer as his mentor.... move on no issues I can foresee.
Actually couple of things, in anticpation would prob consider adding a head count or two to your PR team, a couple to your community and culture team and upgrade your club lawyer to a QC. Thats about it though.

Really depends on the anticipated TPP for 2024 & 2025 etc...

If we had planned to trade a player or two on Fish type coin, or thought it likely we would lose a player on that sort of coin then it makes sense.

*super simplistic example below

Say our player payments are projected to be $200k over the cap for 2024 (or more likely where we want our payments to be for that year to accommodate advance planning/FA or resigning required players) and say Player A is contracted for $400k.
Then trading him, (even planning to trade a player on this wage), while replacing him with a draftee or rookie elevation on $100k each makes sense.

You can call it poor management if you like but I'd disagree. Very fine margins in list management and all clubs push to the line and take risks.

I'd suggest it's how we got Acres, (factoring in the Jackson shenanigans also).

Very big risk relying on forcibly trading contracted players to meet salary cap requirements.

I want TPP for my bunghole....

Need a vomit emoji.

Imagine making the Grand Final and losing to a club over the salary cap. We don't have to imagine, because 1993.
But it shouldn't be allowed.

Hmmmm were we playing by the rules in 93 and 95?

I have my doubts.

It's a risk if it's the ONLY mechanism available.

I did the exact same thing.

From excitement to disappointment in 0.1 of a second.

What is going on with this yellow alert?
Might as well post porkies in the injury thread and wait for the reactions.

Yes it needs to be another colour

 

[DollarsandSense]

not sure I like the new Yellow tag on this thread......
Firstly.......I got very excited at first glance of a notification.... then disappointed when I saw all the posts....
then EXCITED again thinking you were all chatting in the NO DISCUSSION thread and about to 'cop it', then realised it wasn't the No Discussion thread.
rollercoaster of emotions on a Friday..

This doesn’t make much sense to me.

In this case Fisher is contracted for 3 more years, so theoretically by moving him on, you do save the money.

I understand your point when a player comes off contract, that you’re not necessarily saving anything.

Just not seeing how by trading a contracted player, we wouldn’t end up with the spare cash

If we lost Fisher we'd be saving money for sure - the question is - do we need to free up that space to fit Cunningham / Marchbank / JSOS onto the list next year. 6 weeks ago Austin was probably assuming 2 or 3 of them would be gone at season's end.

Losing Plow / LOB / Ed / S Durdin / Honey / Philp doesn't free up too much cap space as they'll be replaced on the list by similarly priced players.
