Exactly. The age of free agency is truly arriving. We will see more and more players testing the market and salary caps sky rocketing because of this. Ive been an avid follower of Atlanta in the NFL for nearly 10 years, watch the draft, take note of who is going where etc. Good FA's are always over paid and only few take home team discounts anymore. Great FA players are given monster contracts if let go.
Wont be long before we know every players salary, the breakdown of costs per year etc etc etc
Why them mate?
Poor mans Cunnington.Trade everybody for Priddis.
We should go very hard for danger but if he left which i don't think he will i would have thought he would go to geelong wouldnt he?
Does anyone know what kind of salary cap space we have atm?
We struggle to pay the cap minimum, which means we're unlikely to bring in a player on that money
Trade everybody for Priddis.
Poorer mans Levi..Poor mans Cunnington.
Not to mention a blockbuster trade/signing would only enhance membership and $$Do we really struggle to pay cap minimum? Finals appearances will surely assist $$ wise and increased membership would be anticipated next year?
well, I do seem to remember a certain swans coach managing to kick 2 goals 8 vs collingwood when he needed 4 for the ton!Yeah Petrie would have kicked 12 from his 35 shots at goal

reckon we could fit him in, even if it means long backloaded contract where he gets pay rises when boomer and petrie retire etc that type of thing. That said you'd think from a pure financial perspective hawthorn would be leading the chase with space created by buddy's departure. From a players perspective surely be more rewarding to help build a new era with sustained success with a core group a similar age? ie/ the roos. I suspect any trade would hinge more on what adelaide get in return.

GET PADDY NOW
If Danger picked our club we would make room.
Won't happen but we can all dream.
I don't agree with the last paragraph GBS. They are twin objectives and, if anything, football department spending has taken a certain precedence over debt reduction (i.e. we're not Melbourne). Increases in revenue haven't been met with a commensurate reduction in debt because we've invested in the football department. Initially this was also ahead of spending in membership/fan development which has got a kick along with the (tied) 'disequal' funding allocation in the past couple of years.Yup. The only way we were able to pay for NDS, a tackling coach and the appointment of Tudor was via club fundraising and donations from benefactors.
As long as there is debt (nearly there, shut up and buy a membership etc etc) football department spend is a secondary priority. And to be honest, we've made a prelim on a thrifty policy. Don't think the club throw it down the drain for a shiny toy.
I would like to know how many top 10 draft picks we have on our list compared to other teams. Anyone know ?
Yep, we have done both.I don't agree with the last paragraph GBS.

Thanks BT. I love it when facts support my memory...Yep, we have done both.
In 2010 we spent $14.5mil on the football department, last year we spent $17mil. This year I reckon we will be close to $18mil.
In the same period our revenue has gone from $25mil (2010) - $32mil (2013) and our debt has gone from $7mil to $2mil.
