Why’s Kane trying to pick twitter fights? Leave that to the YouTubers selling shit to their underage fans.

Need to open the Salt Mine thread up just to post people’s reactions to us daring to ask for more than Pick 6 for Rioli.

Broadcasters are jumping at the product because of the amount of ads they can sell. They just roll ads then go to live action to see a goal kicked

Got nothing against women playing football but who's financing the AFLW? It must be hemorrhaging cash each week.

Cornes harps on about long-term contracts …. so I was wondering if indeed he’s correct. Keeping in mind having a player contracted means the club retains control of any trade / free agency scenario. Rioli and Bolton were signed to long deals …. thank God!

So I’ve reviewed players signed until 2029 or later, so 5+ years remaining. And assessed whether it looks like being a success / fail / too early to tell. Keeping in mind the benefits of paying less per season, keeping them out of oppo clutches, enabling shuffling of the cap etc… and fails are when they are injury riddled, not earning their money, stuck at the club and can’t be gotten rid of etc…

Keep in mind only a tiny percentage of quality players retire before 31yo in modern times. So the chance of a player being ‘cooked’ and retiring before contract end is very minimal.

Curnow : Success
McKay: Success

J Henry: too early
Stengle: success

Cox: too early
Treacy: too early
Amiss: too early
Jackson: success
Darcy: fail

Hardwick: success
Nash: too early
Battle: success

Perryman: too early
Quaynor: success
J Daicos: success
N Daicos: success

Ballard: success
M Andrew: success
Powell: success

McGrath; fail
B McKay: too early

Cumming: too early
Soligo: success
Rachele: too early

Waterman : too early

Zurhaar: too early
Scheezel: success
Simpkin: too early
Larkey: success
Xerri: success

Rozee: success
Powell pepper: too early
Marshall: fail

Mills: too early
Blakey: success
Florent: success
Hayward: success

Naughton: too early
English: success

Petracca: success
Oliver: fail
JVR: too early

Daniels: success
HH: success
Kelly: success
Taylor: success

Hipwood: fail
Andrews: success
Mccluggage: success
Payne: too early
Berry: success

King; too early

Hopper: fail
Balta: too early
TT: success

So 56 x players are currently contracted to 2029 or later. I only rate 6 as being ‘fails’. 19 of them are too early to tell - could go either way depending on form, injury etc…

So I rate 31 as successes, whereby unless something really abnormal happens there’s no reason to think they won’t easily fulfil the full-term of their deal playing quality football. As I said, the benefits of long term deals in regards to keeping control of your player in a trade is
massive.

. Uncontracted so looking like going for a late first. Rioli is 4-5 years older and looks like going for at least pick-6 as he signed a long-term deal a few years ago.

And taking Balta as an example. If he signs for 5-years we probably pay $5m, or $1m / season. Signs for 7-years we probably pay $5.95m, so $850k / season. And it would be massively front ended. So we pay $3m for first 2-years, then are ‘exposed’ to the tune of only $2.9 for last 5-years of his deal - which is just above average wage.

It keeps him away from free agency, away from Tassie and locks in our only young high quality KPP for his career.

I just think they expanded the AFLW too quickly. Let the grassroots teams grow and as the standard improves then expand the AFLW.
