Speculation Chad Warner [OOC 2025]

[Hawks_4478]

WA born player playing in Sydney = can only go back to WA. BigFooty101.

Love how we only discuss whether it's West Coast or Freo. There are other football in teams in other states that he might entertain. What's to stop him from going to Hawthorn who have cap space? St Kilda are in dire need of a mid. Geelong too.

Ain’t gonna happen. It’s wce or freo, if he leaves.

 

[crankygeese]

The cap is going up 3 million dollars next year. The swans and every club for that matter have the money to give chad whatever he wants

Parker, Lloyd, Rampe, and Ladhams all come out of contract at the end of 2025 as well. That will free up a fair chunk of coin.

Absolutely 0 concern he leaves

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

He's contracted next year

Go and check what my response was to.

It was in response to a poster essentially saying Sydney should rip up the last year of his deal and start him on big money in 2025.

Reading is fundamental, my dude.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Very few clubs have contracts without a clause increasing existing contract payments in line with salary cap increases. I can only think of Essendon as one.

Essendon only starting doing that when Vozzo became their CEO because that is what West
Coast do.

So there are two clubs who don’t include TPP increases in contracts, one of which is West Coast.

Yes, that’s why you’re spending all your time in the Chad Warner thread, both here and the one on your own board.

Can see straight through you.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Every cap but Sydney's apparently.

Beatson is negotiating new contracts but he'll get to the end of the year and go "oh shoot, we don't have any money for Warner. We gave Hayward the $900,000 he wanted and gave Heeney an extra $2mil just because we had all this extra money!"

No one else knew the cap was going up except for Warner. It was a hidden secret from Gulden, Florent, Hayward.

Boy are they gonna be in for a shock

 

[Superstar swan]

Keep going...a little faster.. .your nearly finished

 

[Syd]

There is no point in swans waiting until next year to trade him.

Do swan fans want to get draft picks diluted due to Tasmania. Has to be this year he goes.

Wce have the hand they need to make it happen.

First round pick
Future 1st
Second round pick
Future second round pick
The money to pay Warner
Playing with Harley Reid

Time for swans to pressure Warner. Non commitment should be taken as a no then start trade talks with wce

For maybe 12-months before he heads back to Victoria

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Have to say Swans fans are not coping particularly well.

Don’t think I’ve seen a fan base go so far off the deep end quite so quickly off nothing but an article in Fairfax.

Will be a long 16 months.

 

[bzparkes]

Which begs the question again why are we even discussing it now

Won’t happen this year

Are you salty that you didn't start this thread yourself?

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

He signed an extension on his rookie deal to 2024 in early 2021, like most draftees, then extended for another year in 2022.

In hindsight, he signed too early in 2022. He went on to have a breakout year, was their best in a pretty limp team GF performance.

If he hadn’t signed the additional year extension in early 2022 he’d be on much bigger coin starting from next year. I don’t see him signing on early again. In hindsight it cost him 8-900K over 2023-25.

I can see him considering big offers that kick in from 2025 rather than playing for unders, but it’s more likely he remains until end of his deal.

Sydney could decide to offer him a new deal with an amended wage for 2025. At the moment keeping him on his current wage is daylight robbery by swans.

No wonder Chad gave the old “show me the money” celebration a few weeks back.

The opposite, all Swans saying it's not a concern meanwhile Eagles fans (particularly you) saying it's damning and proves he'll be leaving

Yeah Probably but we will just build for our next 3 Premierships . Would you like to see what a Premiership cup looks like ?

Still got 7 years to catch your premiership drought.

Can’t be a drought if it never rained.

Going to be 100 pages of Dockaz and Weagles supporters frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs before he inevitably re-signs with Sydney early next year.

Even if this is the case, I like the fact both WA clubs are being aggressive trying to bring home WA talent, including players who are stars of comp, and hopefully they prise out a few players, whether it’s Chad or someone else.

Feel like grabbing WA boys has been a safe option for clubs, specifically Demons and Swans.

We need to make taking WA talent a risky proposition again.

 

[Superstar swan]

More realistic option is sheldrick.

Kid is absolutely gun but things havnt gone his way

 

[The Nostradamus]

Are you salty that you didn't start this thread yourself?

I don’t start threads on contracted players

Not worth discussing a year early. Unless they are fringe players who want out and the club want them to go

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Thread is going to the moon, wonder where we'll be by end of trade period if he gets mentioned even in passing by a journo in October

 

[FreoMatt]

Everyone is assuming he wants to go back to Perth. But is that actually the case? Has he ever talked about home sickness, and what sort of person is he? Partner from Perth? Big family?

Could he want to go to one of the big Vic clubs? or a lifestyle change to the Gold Coast or Brisbane? or just the highest bidder regardless of where? seems like flags aren't his priority or he would be staying at Sydney. Unless he just wants to see how things go this year and if the Swans crap out in finals maybe he will leave.

He has a big family, eldest of 4 boys and good mates with Jeremy Sharp and Luke Jackson who he played with at East Freo. Also went to school with Sharp. Loves golf and surfing so Perth is perfect for him. Also mentioned some early home sickness but that was exacerbated by Covid lockdowns

I don't think he'd have any mates at the swans. Especially those that compete with immense relationships he built in the colts program



If only he had a brother at the club

 

[Superstar swan]

Whether he goes or not nobody knows, but clutching at grown men making career decisions based on the irresistible desire to play with blokes they went to school with is laughable stuff.
