How many people have to fit into a salary cap in real world jobs?
Ned Ryerson
Future Captain
Paying Battle a bit of overs isn't going to hurt our cap. It is going to rise significantly over the coming years anyway.
I wouldn’t want Oliver anywhere near our young players, even if he came for nothing. We have good young players and talented experienced players teaching them, no reason to risk it.
Wish him the best in dealing with his problems, but he can do it elsewhere.

plus getting in arguably the best or at least most spoken about free agent left helps the image of the club being a destination again and potentially opens players eyes going forward

Technically, everyone. Every company has a budget, which is basically what a Salary Cap is.
responding to the bit about people wanting more money in their jobs
So you would ask for a reasonable pay rise each year
Battle would be on $500 000 - $600 000
A raise to $800 000 - $850 000 is more than most people can dream of
A raise to $950 000 is taking the PI55

Maybe if this season and all the controversy hadn't played out this way, but then he would never be available. A fit and in form Oliver is the best contested midfielder in the league. This current one is like a completely different player.

Geelong people are very confident that they've beaten us to Smith.
Sydney are apparently sniffing around Maginess.

Anyone got any Smith updates from our end?

Cats are super confident now. I've heard nothing our side on this for a long time.

That's not a bad thing. Either, we know the Geelong talk is just piss and wind or we don't really care if we get him or not. If he's leaning towards Geelong and we really want him, we'd be making a lot more noise to try and persuade him otherwise.

Bazlenka isn't happening - best to just resign yourself to it and get a pleasant surprise if something changes.

even if we miss out on Baz I think we will still go hard at shopping our first and see if we get any bites. I imagine there are a bunch of young players that are reasonably happy at their current clubs but wouldn't say no to joining what we're building.

The AFL isn't comparable to the private sector. Comparing it to one of us mug punters asking our employer for a pay bump is beyond silly.
As it stands the salary cap is going up around 20-30% in the next few years alone. If you think Battle is worth say $750k a season under a likely long term deal - a 20-30% raise on that puts that figure up to $900,000-$975,000. So if we pay him $950,000 for 5-6 seasons that is absolutely bang on.

Yeah I think it's done, they've convinced him to join them.
Please let us never ever see the words, "he was a Hawks supporter as a kid," written in these threads again*.

Indeed. Target someone like Zac Bailey, has stagnated a bit at Brissie. Could convince him that Hawthorn is where he unlocks that next level. I'm not the biggest fan of Cam Rayner but there's absolutely a player there, the footy he's produced in recent weeks is a lot more consistent and promising than he has in the past.
I genuinely do think those guys would suit our game plan better than Baz. I'd be happy with Baz, but I feel he's leaving for one reason - to be the guy. I'd much prefer we have players who can contribute through the middle but are happy playing other roles and impacting other areas.

Will the best players start asking for clauses in their contracts that have their wages increased in alignment with the upcoming cap increases?
Will be interesting to see what the cats give up for Smith if he is in fact heading there.
What is Apples salary cap?

I would suspect the Doggies will ask for an early 1st rounder to start with as well as something extra on top.Will Geelong come to the party is anyones guess.
So you would have Day, Newk, Sic and the 12 or so other players on our team better than Battle all on $950 000 from 2025?
