Probably because the idea of us getting trade value for a player who was already traded for peanuts, then delisted then only picked up by us as a last minute LTI replacement, is madness.

Kreugs sounds like such a solid citizen and is perfectly suited to our game style that I reckon he gets another contract.

I would trade Johnson and Noble. Possibly Reef and Ryan (if the deals were right).

Delist Markov. Can we delist Begg?

Any news re Cox and whether he possibly retires given his injuries?

That was my exact post.
 
The bloke has sacrificed being a 30-40 touch a game Brownlow winner to be a 20-25 touch workhorse shovelling it out to the Daicos boys, Crisp etc. I know hes getting on but fully fit hes extremely important to our midfield mix
He looks absolutely ripped at the moment, so I don't think it's wise to discount his role in 2025.
He's ultra-professional about his preparation - he's in the Pendles/Nick class in that regard.
 
I re-did the math

With our 30 + 3 recruits (Houston, Perryman, Membrey) = thats 33.
Add in 3 draftees thats 36 the max (if we have a full rookie list)
If we re-rookie Ash and Markov, we will have the max on the rookie list (6) so wont have anymore room for other recruits

Yep, 36/6/2

Senior:
34 currently including Perryman & Houston
32 AJ & Markov delisted to be re-rookied
35 +3 'freshies' at the draft
36 +1 Membrey as UFA

+ 6 catA rookies
i. Sully ii. Dean iii. Long iv. Smit v. AJ^^ vi. Markov^^

So 36+6 = 42 Senior /catA

+2 CatB (Parker, Condon)

^^ If either Oleg / AJ rookied by another club before our pick, it opens up an additional rookie spot for us

If HH LTI’d, Tomlinson to potentially be picked up via SSP in 2025
 
Rookie base wage isn't part of the salary cap. So having 36 and 6 rookies is better than 38 and 4 rookies. Small salary cap saving.
does this saving apply given they both have senior contracts - which will need to be honoured - regardless of them sitting on a rookie list?

They're not contracted to a list. It's why clubs can do this.

AFL doesn't differentiate between different cat A rookie list players. If they're on the rookie list, the rookie list rules apply.

why didn't /doesn't richmond delist & re-rookie Lynch's $1.5m pa salary (for remaining term) to create massive capacity in their salary cap ..not that they need it at this juncture but you get the point ..?

ps: are you saying, per rookie list rules, all catA rooks salaries are excluded in toto from club's salary cap?

Only 80-100k of the rookie contract is outside the cap

The only thing that worries me about Mitch is he said that post the op he had (cutting the plantar fascia) that it'll never feel the same and that he was really having a time of it adjusting . Maybe it's just time that's required and he'll be fine but he did seem to be a bit unsure on the outlook for it.

Just the base wage is excluded. So it makes no difference how big the bloke's salary is. Anything over base wage goes on to the salary cap.

1 of those 'freshies' taken in the draft might come from our rookie list. We therefore would only need to take 2 newbies in the draft and would have an open spot on the rookie list for an SSP.

It gives us some flexibility. We can choose this path if there's nothing left that we like in the ND after taking out first 2 players. But we can still take the preferred route if it turns out that there are still 3 skinny SA flankers available on the board

Base rookie salary is excluded, so $100k. Pointless for Richmond to do it.
 
Rayner and Jordy weren't fit enough to play more than part time midfield within their first 5 years, Rayner still isn't. Rankin too. Petracca - 5 years was about when he was.

THey didn't need to play midfield to be highly rated players. The difference is that they were gun forwards, without much endurance. Reef at the moment is a mediocre player, without much endurance.

Defence wouldn't be a bad move for Reef. He's quick, tall, decent at ground level and strong overhead. There are some transferable qualities. No idea how he actually defends, reads the play from defence, holds positional structure so would be a bit to learn/assess. We need someone post Howe so there's a role there soon.
 
We actually need AJ and Markov to be rookied or we get zero savings. They were both contracted for 2025 so if they aren’t rookied we have to pay out their 2025 contract. If they are rookied and their 2025 contract was say $300k we would save the $100k from the rookie pool but still have to pay them the $200k remaining on their contract.

I imagine if they get picked up elsewhere, said club would pay their contracts. We would only pay if we pay them out
