We definitely need to optimise our salary allocations because we have a substantial number of emerging players on our list who will be justifying significant contract extensions. That includes Serong in the immediate future who I expect already has approaches.It wasn’t a salary cap squeeze. We just didn’t think they warranted the money they were asking for. And I agree.

Where'd he say that?Rory said he was coming back for the Doig then heading to Bali
I think that's what it will be as well but I dont really see how Sharp should be worth as much as Acres tbh. That's a pretty shit deal but maybe we can get more out of Sharp then GC canAcres --> Future 3rd --> Sharp
Not saying I'm happy with it but I wouldn't be surprised.
Of them, I think Ryan and Brodie's wage stay the same tbh and maybe even Darcy given when he signed his last extension.Serong - 2023
Brodie - 2023
Ryan - 2023
Cox - 2024
Darcy - 2024
I think it's those guys who we need to be putting all our money into. We're lucky to have so much of our emerging young guys already locked away for long term.
Maybe more important players don't want pranks being played on them by guys who should have been working on being better regular contributors at AFL level?
Think Ryan's might, but if Brodie continues his form this year into next season then we'd need to be offering a lot more than 300k a year.Of them, I think Ryan and Brodie's wage stay the same tbh and maybe even Darcy given when he signed his last extension.
Serong and Cox the only two to definitely get paid more next contract IMO
I don't buy that we'd be willing to let Acres go to a close rival for a future third only. It'll make them a lot better, their wings are hopeless and he's an enforcer now that he's stopped jumping at shadows. s**t kick but he's a solid player now. Career best year.. future third? Yeah, nah. * off Colin.
I'm not worried because of the number of people on here telling me Peter Bell is a great strategist and negotiator with more feathers in his headwear than a Cheyenne chieftain. Such a man would never agree to that dealI don't buy that we'd be willing to let Acres go to a close rival for a future third only.

At the hairport by the looks of his photo.Where'd he say that?
Nothing wrong with having a personality.Acres has a history of playing goofs on team mates, which is fine, but if you're hoping he would put more in on the field it's the exact sort of thing that would frustrate you.
As melting and being irrational over trading news is a passion of mine, I might be starting to come around to your thinking. On reflection, it might just be that the only time we "win" trades is with GC or St Kilda. Feels like most other clubs we do a poor job for what the player should be worth at the time of tradeI'm not worried because of the number of people on here telling me Peter Bell is a great strategist and negotiator with more feathers in his headwear than a Cheyenne chieftain.

And 'home state' would give us a discount.We got cocky and thought success/culture was enough.
On the money there.And 'home state' would give us a discount.
The Clark trade was reasonable and would do again.As melting and being irrational over trading news is a passion of mine, I might be starting to come around to your thinking.

But maybe the whole thing looks better after trade period and I'm going early on the melt...
We haven't yet...On the money there.
We will learn from that.
I'm watching and waiting. I simply refuse to believe the club would be stupid enough to give away that many players for the junk trades being spoken of. It's not logical.As melting and being irrational over trading news is a passion of mine, I might be starting to come around to your thinking.
