Im discussing that no one is coming here because our salary cap is cooked and people seem to think it isn’t ?

No one is coming?

Fold the club.

 

[JackOutback]

Fold the club.

Then apologise to the members.

 

[WCErevival]

Im not the one discussing the merits of offering players pay rises in a squad that just took a 7 percent payout as a collective group

Any idea what Duggan is going to be offered? Must be getting some sort of pay rise.

Some of the guys who signed earlier in the year may have gotten more money too. Probably taking up whatever we are saving from our delistees.

We can't even get someone here to fold the club.

 

[new breed]

If we fold ...we the members get a share !!

Can't even get someone to fold my laundry.

Just a reminder for anybody not sure where SGIO is coming from in relation to the 7% pay cut

Double the cost, half the pain: Eagles agree to bigger pay cut

West Coast players will take a bigger pay cut in 2021 to speed the club's return to normal salary cap levels

www.afl.com.au

WEST Coast players have agreed to higher pay cuts across the board after being assured the club won't be saving money to splash on high-priced recruits at the end of the year.

In a move that has been praised for its efficiency and equitable nature, the Eagles have accepted a seven per cent pay cut across the list.

It was a move different to what other clubs did

Clubs have been working through pay arrangements for this year after the AFL's salary cap cut at the end of last season, with many list managers altering contracts and back-ending deals.

This bit was also of interest

West Coast made the decision to double the average pay cut across the board to ensure that after one year the club will be able to right its salary cap position without stretching the pain into further seasons.

Yes, we are (very) tight with our salary cap for 2022 but on reading the above it may well be that the steps we’ve taken create a problem for 2022 that doesn’t extend beyond then whereas other clubs have kicked the problem further down the road by back ending deals

Salary cap management has usually been pretty good so without knowing all the details it’s hard to judge whether our current issues are the result of mismanagement or a strategy to take the pain of a covid enforced crunch in one hit rather than a smaller hit spread over years or just delayed

It should also be pointed out that whilst we may not be able to attract other players we are also not losing otherwise required players (yet) as some other clubs are doing

Looks like we are set to sign up Jarrad Schofield and Matthew Knights as our 2 new coaches

Matthew Knights? Geelong? Where’s that come from? Source?

[shooshka]

Clarke has barely shown he should be on an AFL list let alone be paid $400k. That would be insanity.

Yep, if that is the going rate I'm happy to be priced out of that market.

Would not mind Knights as an assistant - you have to be a good one to get a gig as an AFL coach, no matter how bad you end up being at that. Mark Neeld a possible exception.

FWIW (and I know that's not much) I'd be happy to attack the draft and not look to recruit established players unless they absolutely would make our best 22 better. If the guys on our list get fit, become hungry, and perform to their potential, we should be ok next year.

I’m trying to reconcile these two reasonable, yet contradictory, views

1) We underachieved this year and blew a chance to win another flag with this list

2) Our list is cooked and we need to rebuild, perhaps even offload one or more of our best players, because our list isn’t good enough to challenge in 2022

Its both. We blew a massive chance and we should offload a couple of stars to fix it. One of Barrass or McGovern for example. We dont need a rebuild. Need to fix obvious gaps but we need to give up something good to do it. BIG preseason could do wonders but a new coach should have been priority imo. The shit game plan dished up this year should have been inexcusable

Ok let's get married.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Been told Tim Kelly now heads into the 7 figure part of his contract. Top 3 paid player in the league. This is the reason for the squeeze

What the actual F

 

[ghostbat12]

I would go further than that Obeanie1 if the sum total of Venables, Cameron, Vardy, Ah Chee, Brander, Hutchings and a reduced Redden contracts cant afford Clark then its gross financial mismanagement.

That said I don't pay too much to the credibility of the original source, it has to be taken with a grain or two of salt.

You have to bring in 6 additional players to replace those you mentioned as those wouldn’t be on much.

Alternatively we send hurn and Kennedy to retirement.

Plus it depends, is it a 1 yr problem or a multi year problem?

End of next year, Hurn Kennedy, witherden, redden come off books with Naitanui and shuey surely on severely reduced terms. Witherden on reduced terms maybe. Barrass is free agent and can see big coin thrown at him to go. That can go both ways.

Then following year it’s shepherd, cripps, McGovern, Langdon.

Sounds good management to have all that money at once to go hunting and thrown some real coin at good young wa players at other clubs.

Also I am sure the same poster earlier in year said that because of all injuries, the highly paid players didn’t hit their performance clauses in their contracts and therefore won’t be paid as much….

But then again NN is all Australian and likely to win John worsfold medal…taking all the cash big Nic Nat.

It’s a til 2025 problem.

 

[EagleJack42]

Interesting. That says that the Schofield deal is sorted and he's essentially on his way. Knights, Schofield, and Harvey would be a good shake-up I feel.

Harvey isn't confirmed and I suspect it's him or Knights. I'd prefer Knights as I've never heard anyone regard Harvey as anything special as an assistant.

 

[WestCoast05]

Plus he is so good, he can’t get a game for Carlton. Good enough for us though

Logic beggars belief with some people…

I was talking about Powel-Pepper haha

That said, it appears he can't get a game with Port...

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

considering the amount of likes, I assume this is good news. Is Graham staying on? And is there any other good assistants we should be going for? Ala Pyke

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

We have also been in contract negotiations with Rotham since May and still nothing. Don’t know what’s going on with this one but id imagine it’s a issue. He is the only one we have been talking too actively for a long time that hasn’t signed yet. Strikes me as someone who might get a decent Offer at a club like North

 

[mattyc75]

Feel like MJ might be this years big draft bolter

He could be but its on potential not output so far
