Don't think to this extent. Think 700k Base Salary + Match Payments of 2.5k
Although you can achieve that by having a low base and high match payments, doubt a player agrees to it.
Captain / Coach combo! Big 12 months for both Teams.
Correct. But Extremely confident both Luko and King will be at the club next year. Suffering Homesickness 100%, But these boys won't walk away after 2, They will give it 3-4.
Surprised we didn't get a flat percentage even a low one. Could imagine a lack of sympathy due to property prices and COL being lower. while not privy i imagine our club must be disadvantaged with sponsorship "perks" that sit outside the cap.
I mean if you didn't ask you wouldn't be doing your job, And i would imagine the club will want to help them rebuild, but not at our expense
From what i know our current list doesn't they love being together as a group and care about playing the best footy they can. They want success and...
This post is exceptionally in the know, Heard from someone who would also know that the presentation blew the AFL away and upped the game on what they had expected significantly. Showed internal club issues appeared and for a number of years the football team suffered resulting in us being so...
A fair bit of anamosity between Paul connors and the club since prior to the announcement, so He is reluctantly on the coast rehabbing with external physios / specialists outside of the club, as Tom was informed if he wasn’t meeting the stipulations of his contract he would no longer be paid.
Interesting that the media are absolutely so far off the mark regarding media situation and how it played out internally.
From what I heard (aside from the inaugural players present - May, Swallow, Rischa and Harbs) Lynch copped it pretty hard. Touk and Witts really questioned him on both...
Umps tried to bring them back in the 3rd with 2 soft frees then robbing us of a goal, and we found another gear and took the game away again. Bet Dew loved that
How good is it to have a "team"! Not 22 selfish individuals like last year (lead by the No.9). Also seems like the group has a good bond, celebrate eachothers efforts and work hard for eachother.
Only round 2, along way to go and a lot to improve but hopefully we can build on the start to the...
Not hearing Sloane, but our 2016 draftees are very close to Tim Taranto and I've heard a bit of buzz that he will come to the club next year if he doesn't get opportunity at GWS
Interestingly I spoke to one of the players and he said they have driven the push to get experienced players in, as they experienced burn out (and injuries) when we had a young midfield in our inaugural years.
Having a look at our best 22 / fringe Mids it
Backs it up:
Barlow - 138 games
Bowes...
From what I've heard this one isn't even being discussed prior to mediation and our club is filthy with Freo for the following reasons:
- Their was an understanding Freo would assist Jarrod Garlett this year in the WAFL which hasn't occurred to the extent of the original discussions
- We have...
I don't understand the whole we need to trade pick 2 too keep Lynchy. If I'm Tom I would be livid if the club trades out a future gun for a decent mid we can acquire with a lower combination of picks
Trade Week has consisted of clubs trying to screw us and get a victory, media bias, media saying we should be thankful a player wants to come here and our club struggling to make any decent moves.
By enlarge it feels no different to any other time as a Suns fan
I can't give you either of those 2 picks but here's what I can do, I'll give you Matera, Pick 70 and Jarrod Garletts number.
That way all that happens is you took a two pick downgrade from the 2014 draft and you got matera. Seems fair yeah
Hearing out of the club we are likely to announce another best 22 mid who is seeking a trade. At this stage it seems like that Langs or Hartung are the front runners?
Matthew Lloyd on Jake Stringer, Adam Saad, Ablett, Smith: "Clubs should trade players for compassionate reasons, it's about getting the player home"
Matthew Lloyd on Lachie Weller: "Freo needs to stick to their guns and get 2 1st round picks"
Can't wait to see him next year
As I sorted expected this turned into an Interstate battle, rather than what intended it to a discussion around draft contracts and trading players prior to being a RFA.
While the nominate a state is great what happens if for example the following occurs:
Melbourne offer a 1st round and 800k...
Down in Sydney for work and just heard John Longmire on the Radio. Gave a pretty glowing reference saying Stewie was able to inspire and build great relationships with every player in the club and was able to get the best out of people.
Then I watched his Press conference and I just felt a...
Rumours are we are into Dahlhaus, he was also a rookie drafted player.
So guessing this one will go both ways terry? And the Bulldogs will be stoked to get a 3rd rounder. Lol what a flog, how does he have a job
Adelaide have a right to be angry regarding Lever, however their frustration should be at the AFL rather them Melbourne.
Jake Lever has essentially garnered the same rights as a Restricted Free Agent as he has: Nominated a preferred club, Negoitated a salary and contract and is now requesting a...
Well that's an absurd offer, and probably overpaying even the best KF in the comp.
But given all we've offered him is 8 years of mediocrity, we can't expect him to sign for unders and a promise of success.
Just saw the Coch getting a coffee and told him that we better pick Jake Lever up if he goes to the PSD. He had a slight chuckle and said "I'll drag the little turd up here by the ear myself"
Great to see Harley back, so hard to see persucuted for something so many others in the comp do. Back that up with some terrible injuries and his had a tough run at it.
While it will be hard to not see him in a Suns jumper, I hope he absolutely kills it on the weekend. His an absolute jet when...
Watching Micky Barlow, makes me wish the club had 3 of him from its inception. Talk about the group being mentored by a good leader and he is it. When you look back at what we had you can see why some traits where adopted:
Brown: Arrogant partier
Brennan: Inconsitent with a poor work ethic
GAJ...
You can't really say a recruiter failed because they recruited (insert player who hasn't become elite here) over this person who is now a gun. What you can do is analyze his % of first round picks that became quality top 22 Afl Players (Either at our club or another, because that's not claytons...
Agreed, wins enhance Solly's chance of getting the head job. Not that I don't like him but his had 7 years as an "highly respected" assistant at the club to usher in change. I think we need new blood
