So you reckon the club would be open to moving them on

They can probably carry both into 2025 unless we have a specific trade target lined up (Houston etc.). The issue will be 2026 (Daniel & Macrae) & 2027 (Macrae) when we have to carry increased salaries for guys like Richards & Darcy.

I understand there's always significant movements with the cap but the club would be thinking 1-2 years down the line with these guys.

I know mate , they’ll be giving him a decent contract the way he’s looking at the moment

Perhaps its a reverse Hamling scenario and hes coming back to help out his brother?

Freo have usually been pretty good to deal with

 

[grassman75]

Is Brandon Parfitt a spud?

No hes a Parfeit

 

[lachy]

I do think Garcia can be a first line midfielder.
He offers burst speed and great contest work. Kicking is shonky but we can carry him.

No just his kicking. Gets lost in transition at the contest. Gallagher is well ahead of him

All depends on how much has been paid out on their deals as well. Believe someone said Macrae has been front loaded?

I think we have plenty of midfield depth outside of any new prospective draftees. This was always the draft to look at midfielders so the first we get for Smith should be used there + a later midfielder in the draft. That gives us a good mix for the next 3-5 years as the older brigade transition out.

Older - Libba, Treloar, Macrae
Still going - Bont, Harmes
Younger - Richards, Sanders, Gallagher

I think this proves my point that nobody young but not good enough to be in our AFL team will be providing depth in the VFL team, given that Gallagher and Sanders should be selected at AFL level for R1 next year. It might be because Macrae, Harmes etc. are on ball in the VFL, but they're not young with potential improvement.

We have depth, we don't have developing depth.

And he still fundamentally lacks size. He's a slightly better version of some of the state league guns who rock up the dispsoals but would never make it to AFL level because they're shorter than six foot. That's just how it is.

Yes macrea was front loaded. Roughly 1m, 750, 750, 500,500 over the five years. So one more at $750 before falling to what will be average/below average wage.

What's Daniel on roughly?

How much is the salary cap these days? And what's the average player on?

The CBA sets out a salary cap for each side, called the Total Player Payment Limit. That limit is $15,788,222 per club in 2024. That will grow to $18,440,415 in 2027.

Daniel is on around $600k but I'm not sure how it is split. Average wage is about $500k as of next year and will climb quickly.

We’ve had interest before. Is going to turn 31 during next season, but would also be cheaper than Barrass.

Wouldn’t say no if we aren’t fully convinced on Lobb, which I don’t think we would be. Jones, Collins & Busslinger would be a solid spine down back from R1 2025.

 

[TiAn_]

4 years would take him through his age 34 season. I wouldn’t be opposed to that if the salary wasn’t obscene. Year older than Barrass but far more durable.

 

[RWnBluey]

Do contracts or free agency periods even matter anymore? It seems that any disgruntled player can simply nominate a club these days and get there regardless of contract or free agent status.

 

[VitalDread]

The Dees rebuild is about to enter full speed

Don't see us joining in but keep an eye

 

[VitalDread]

We had interest in Collins about 3 times throughout his career
Was a target in the draft as well

And a late starter.

Give us a little more VD.. PLEASE!!

What is the view on Bailey Smiths trade value ?

Media are talking pick 6 for Dan Rioli to GC, which I think is way overs. Late first rounder I would have thought.

Cats currently have pick 16, which I feel is unders for Smith. I’m thinking a pick in the top 10, but Cats would need to get creative and trade up. They are notoriously bad to deal with.

 

[Struggle]

Petracca supporting Weightman at his art expo, good to see he's already buying into our culture

 

[VitalDread]

Give us a little more VD.. PLEASE!!

Pickett, Oliver and Trac all gone if right deal is done

Due to ACL
I would say 1st Round Pick + Future Second

If he didn't do his ACL
Two First Rounders

Scorched earth. Nice.

 

[adogsfan5]

Pickett - WA or Port.
Oliver - damaged goods
Trac - costs too much.

Interesting times ahead mate
