I understood he has a very long and expensive contract owed to him. I think the trade is much more likely to involve Melbourne paying a good portion of that for the next couple of seasons.

DiVincenzo is an asset. The Detroit pick we'll see but plenty of picks get moved with heavier protection than that. The market for someone making $220M over the next 4 years and that isn't a top 10 player in the league is limited. Who'd have thunk it. The Pels can't find a taker for Ingram...

And from the Windhorst article, Charlotte are the 3rd party who will take some more salary on and some draft capital (presumably from NY).

If something goes badly this year, KAT is a negative asset going forward with that contract. And with 3 guys being paid 99% of the salary cap, we start to lose depth and end up looking like a worse version of Phoenix.

The issue with the haul for Minnesota is that everyone knew this trade was inevitable by the deadline and reflects that the market for him is fairly limited. The cap restrictions were such that keeping Gobert, Ant and KAT together long term was punishing from a tax point of view but also for...

Don’t trade him. He signed a contract.

I worked "on the tools" in Medical Imaging for 15 years and am now a manager in the industry. I get frowns from my colleagues for saying it but imaging and other allied health fields are a service industry. Ultimately the core of the role is to care for people. Most states have a course for...

Agree. The most underrated employee in any business is the one who turns up, does their job well and goes home. If senior managers are talking about you, likely you’re incredibly disagreeable or performing very badly.

I’m as trustworthy as you’re going to get around here.

A “Great Leader”? What a ****ing clown. Are there any Peterson acolytes remaining in this thread?

We've done it for First Nations people in the past, to their detriment. Did you complain then too?

If that’s the case, we owe Dodo our sincere thanks for saving us from ourselves.

Nearly 7000 days since Essendon won a final and he’s “The Prince” of list managers? FMD. Dodo is going to miss getting reach arounds from football journos when he’s gone.

Meh, Twomey is front of the line with the Bombers news. Terribly sorry I disrespected the Woodward and Bernstein of football journalism.

Fantastic. This is the classic draft and trading board content I love.

Yes, everyone you deal with in your working life is a friend.

Let's not get carried away. "Respected" is a relative term for people who's value relies on their willingness to spout a club's line. He's top of Dodo's phone list when we get the annual avalanche of trade speculation.

Howard and Costello turned windfall tax revenue from mining into recurrent middle class welfare. You could pick six posters from Bay 13 and they’d do a better job than those two.

It’s not his money. It’s borrowed.

Trading future 1sts is a foolhardy exercise anyway, but if you project to finish in the bottom six again, it’s lunacy.

Should be barred because he’s shit at his job.

I called it.

How does one defend their position in the draft?

It’s SEN‘s Carlton feed. Abysmal.

If there’s anyone who can shit the bed with this start, it’s Carlton.

It’s working ok for me. What are you running it on?

This current list situation is a product of the end of the Clarkson era list management issues. We traded away the future for the present, and drafted in the third, fourth and fifth rounds. Now we feel the pain as that group reaches its ceiling.

Professional footballers like money, so the aim is to make sure you offer the right player the right money. In a contract model in which money is guaranteed and there is no trading without consent, you’d want to be very, very sure with deals >3 years. Offering 6 or 7 years is only for...
