Weren't most of them heavily front loaded?
Pretty sure Martin is on peanuts now compared to the 1st 2 years.

Season preview on fox footy. Johnno Brown asks the question "as ridiculous as it sounds is Mitch McGovern Carlton's mist important player?". Was a fairly good critique and summary.
Ladder predictions were;
Jordan Lewis- top 8 and potentially top 4.
Sarah Jones - Bottom of top 8
Robbo - 8 - 12
Browny - bottom of top 8.

Says in the article that the Martin one had 1 million paid out in the first year.
You've never heard anybody say they want to get drunk?

Yeah but not perpetually drunk and a full time James Hird apologist at the same tine?
Only Robbo and sheedy made it through the audition stage.

Brackets or marchbank must play to take intercept marks. Weiters and young not marking enough. Will be a key to winning or losing. Jonno brown on the money.
Alt. We play tdk in ruck and he drops back to take intercept marks, although im not use he has the iq to play that role.

Not in perpetuity.
I think its a fair point. One thing consistent with all top teams is they have a strong intercept game usually high up the ground. I hope we have worked with Weitering on this part of his game too as it was his strength early but for some reason he doesnt do it anymore. He should be our Sam Taylor.
Young was pretty good intercept wise last year so just needs to bring more of the same.
I don't even know what 'copping the full brunt of the supporter base' is supposed to mean. Or how we are supposed to go about putting players 'firmly on notice'. Would a bf poll suffice?

He’s the one who has been stroking its ego for the past ten years with his apologist dribble over the illegal performance enhancing drug scandal.

That wasn't my point. The point I was trying to make was that they are all guessing. If they weren't you wouldn't have significantly different figures being reported. Never said any of the figures were right or wrong.Media says calrotn player on a lot of money - 'what a s**t article, all the media have no idea how much they are on, its just guessing'

What we do know is that Martin's deal was heavily front-ended. Reports (for what they're worth) were over $1m in his first year. Likelihood that he's on anything above $400k now is low. Note also, that he got shafted by the Covid pay-cut, which was in his first year.
I wonder how many of our other current deals were front ended? You would think Gov for sure given when we signed him. There has never been any talk of Williams deal being front ended but would be great if it was. Saad not on that much so probably doesn't matter. Charlie's deal that is expiring this year probably was.
All our signings post the year we got Williams and Saad unlikely to be front ended.
I personally don't have an issue with the media talking about our cap being tight. Yes they might not know the exact details and yes certain players have taken unders but doesn't change the fact we have signed a number of players on big long term deals over the last few years. I'm sure we have a more flexibility then they are giving us credit for but those headlines aren't ridiculous.

Yeah and his contract got increased to get him through to us in the PSD. He would already have agreed to a lower amount prior to the trade failing. Most likely still ended up with more then the initial contract he accepted.

Wasn’t his contract heavily renegotiated through Covid?

Yeah I remember reading something that with the salary cuts the players were asked to take due to Covid he stood to lose a lot of the benefit of his front ended contract so the the contract was renegotiated.
