Why?Being poorly advised again I see
There are pretty much 5 types of players in an AFL team:We have plenty of midfielders - maybe two many - but most either aren’t good enough or certainly aren’t good enough to demand a midfield role
McHenry
Jones
Berry
Dowling
Laird
Dawson
Rankine
Rachele
Curtin
Keays
Bond
Schoenberg
Pedlar
Crouch
Soligo
Taylor
That’s 16 - and probably Dawson is the only one where midfield is not there preferred role. You could probably chuck Murphy in the mix as well

I’m not going to argue but rather ask that you read my post again as your calculations are incorrect as is the use of two question marks.He is on track to play 16 out of 23 games this season and 20 games last season so I'm not sure how you thought he only played 7-8 games???
You don't overpay players you already have.Given the significant CBA increase, Rankine will be on $1M. I'll be disappointed if we didn't offer him at least that much, enough of spreading the salary cap across the list and time to reward the stars.
It's AFL CPI.Why?
Say he goes from a $650k contract to an $850k contract - it's not gonna be a massive difference.
What? Who says $1M is overpaying for him, that's how much your best players on your list should be earning. No wonder Lever, Cameron and especially McGovern left, I really hope our salary management strategy has changed since then.You don't overpay players you already have.
Let's say he gets $950k (which is probably realistic) - that's still only a $250k to $300k increase.
Don't think so.Liam Ryan on the trade block, should we consider him?
28 in October
Hmm, I just don’t trust his health at his ageLiam Ryan on the trade block, should we consider him?

If you overpay players to stay and you overpay players to come here, how are you going to build a premiership level list?What? Who says $1M is overpaying for him, that's how much your best players on your list should be earning.

Gulp there goes our salary cap space.
I was joking.If you overpay players to stay and you overpay players to come here, how are you going to build a premiership level list?
That being said, maybe I'm being conservative. I have no issues with Rankine being one of highest paid players in our list, which probably means he should be at $1m.
My point was against the poster a page or so ago that made it sound like this was bad news and was going to prevent us getting other players. We're already paying him well, so the pay rise wont stop us doing things.

He is a deadset gun. Would love him.Depends on the price, as 28 for the entirety of next season means he could play 3-4 years more. We desperately need a classy forward pocket, he would be awesome.
Sure he needs to pass the fitness assessment, but he replaces McHenry short term, Murphy out of the team 2025 and then off the squad, and puts pressure on Pedlar to actually pull up his socks and put in an immense pre-season.
Problem is that fitness test, he has played just 103 games, and has a 2 year contract.
Laird for all AustralianOur midfield loves putting it on the heads of our forwards, maybe they've been preparing for Liam Ryan's arrival this entire time.
He's too tall for that role.Our midfield loves putting it on the heads of our forwards, maybe they've been preparing for Liam Ryan's arrival this entire time.
