Richards will probably sign a deal similar to what was offered to Bailey Smith. 820k-950k.

Is that what we offered or what Cotton On Geelong offered?

The most common mention was our offer was $800K and two years to free agency.

Sweet jesus. Far too much

 

[Golden_6]

Sweet jesus. Far too much

It’s really not.

People seem to have not wrapped their heads around the increased salaries. The average AFL wage is set to increase around 30% from 2022 to 2027. $800k will be pretty standard for someone expected to be in the top 10 players.

Got no issue with players getting whatever money they can get, but geez, feel sorry for all those gun players from 10 years ago that got nowhere near what average players get now.

Why does your sympathy only extend back 10 years? That seems quite arbitrary. How much do you reckon EJ Whitten was getting paid? Spare a thought for the blokes who still had to work other jobs to earn a living while playing footy at the top level.

This. It isn’t 2015 anymore, even with the increases the top stars will still be underpaid.

We of course need to plot it against average housing prices in the Western Suburbs to know who was better off overall!

I'm more sparing a thought for the rest of the population, for whom $800,000 is ten years wages.

 

[Mofra]

Richards is a top 50 player in the comp, that’s a million dollars these days.

From 2025 there may be even more players hitting 7 figures. Just 4 from each club is 72 players, and given the 45% increase in cap on just 3 seasons that's looking conservative

 

[Mofra]

So there are 50 million dollar players

Read above. From 2025 onwards, there will be more.

 

[Doggy]

Thats fine, but Richards still probably gets the Bailey Sniff money.

Mate, you should be on 60-70k for your contributions to this forum in the brand new world of Gil’s AFL.

, we’re in early talks with him to extend him out to 2026.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

And in the third Herald Sun article on the Dogs today (list analyst) - Says we’re down the road on several contracts for key stars, confidence that we’ll lock away everybody we need to, including a long term contract for JuH.

Says we dumped 2m off our salary cap this off season.

Also vaguely linked us to Ollie Dempsey for next trade period.

Chasing Ollie Dempsey would be highly amusing. I'd imagine that we've got most stuff locked in at this point in time. Talks to extend Jones this early out are a little early if only because he was struggling a litlte late last year but hopefully that was just down to it being a long season and we only just found someone to hold down a key post alongside him late in the season.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Win the premiership in 2025 and give that Flog Andrew Mackie his own medicine

Why don't we get in Mission's ear about making Ollie Dempsey the face of their next chunky salsa campaign? Pay him a million bucks, get him to wear a sombrero and poncho when he's accepting his rising star award, maybe offer him a small piece of cheap land next to the tortilla factory. Then sign him for cheap a couple of years from now, with a few wink wink nudge nudges.

We'd be negligent not to!

 

[VitalDread]

hes OOC next year

Surely, we can walk him to the draft /s

Pretty sure it was SDK that was mentioned.

You mean Rhys Stanley? /s

 

[Hoges64]

Definitely SDK.

Zero mention of Dempsey.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

My bad. Was very early in the AM when I skimmed the article.
