Cat B's you're allowed 3.

The March 2022 amended rules state max 2 Cat Bs - I wouldn't count on the AFL website to be fully accurate.

It was dropped down to 2 during the covid era and don't think they're restored that to 3 just yet.


Brought up elsewhere, Keane's not a Cat B - doesn't meet the listed conditions.
 
It is good but they can still walk at anytime. Nicksy needs to keep us getting better.
They can ask to walk but we can still say no if they are contracted. And if we do decide to let them go then we hold all the cards with the negotiations. Look at the Gibbs trade the first time he requested a trade. Carlton put a ridiculous price on his head and didn't need to budge at all. If someone is then willing to pay that to get them out then we still come out of the deal well.
 
I heard through the grapevine that Adelaide only offered Jake Lever 350K. If that's true, I'm not sure he's the traitor in that ordeal. Kind of incredible that we have the same list manager now as we did back then. Did we just allow Reid to learn on the job or what?

When did he start?

When you start you're lumped with the contracts you inherit which hamstrings you to a degree

I would say that someone is spinning you a huge bag of bullshit

No way we offered Jake such a low ball contract

That was my initial reaction. Then I got thinking about it and I don't think it's impossible. Remember how we treated Lyons? We have form there.

I always thought we lowballed Lyons to entice him to look elsewhere, hoping he’d be part of the Gibbs trade with Carlton.

Surely we really did want to keep Lever.

I doubt we wanted to lose either of them. It was just an unwanted side effect of mishandling the salary cap by giving the senior group too bigger slice of the pie.

We were dangling Lyons to the Blues, we just thought they'd be smart enough to take him, then SOS got on his high horse and mostly blew the deal up out of spite.

Actually I remember that now. They wanted Cameron and the club was like "lol no". Then it was midfielders and they obviously didn't rate Lyons. Can't remember if that was before or after they took Kerridge.

SOS was such a moron. The axe he had to grind over losing Betts led him to make some really stupid decisions.

This is the key point, Reid was told to secure them all but we couldn't afford it and they all wanted top dollar. Nearly all the senior players were strongly talking to other clubs, they were entitled to do it bit it cost us in the end.

That's why I don't have much sympathy for guys like Tex and Sloane now a days when they only get one year deals.

Maybe a bit of overpaying to hold the spine together while we were contending.

Successful teams are built on the spine accepting underpayment to strengthen the group

Our culture on this has been wrong a long time.

Danger/Sloane for an period openly talked about short careers, having to look after yourself, treating things like a business. This period poisoned our culture.
