To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me to see Lynch's or Prestia's contract look like this as well. You have to remember that these boys are now VC's. That would inflate the salary a bit.

So a restructure of their salaries you think?
I'm just not 100% sure they can afford everyone if they hand out 500k to someone like Swallow. Very fortunate to lock up O'Meara and Martin long term before it got to this.

No idea how it would work, but I have faith they have the salaries under control.

We don't actually know for sure it is $500k

Yeah but they are generally pretty close to the mark. I have noticed more news companies reporting salaries these days. I wouldn't be surprised if, at some time in the near future, we start posting every player's salary like they do in the US. It'd certainly make free agency a lot more interesting knowing who can afford to go after the big names each year.

Yeah it does make me worry a little if we can keep Bennell when we are paying Swallow that much.

I'm worried about keeping Bennell if Karmichael goes. Those two are close!

We definitely cant afford to keep everyone, but im feeling pretty optimistic about Bennell staying at the club

Just wondering if gaz is a veteran, so we only pay half his pay out of the tpp? And what other veterans are on our list?

I think how we go this year will be a pretty big factor. If we make finals this year I can see a few off contract players signing up for a bit less cash. (Y)

Which five players out of Smith, Sumner, Harbrow, Sexton, Hunt, Russell, Bennell, Day, Warnock, May, Taylor, Nicholls, Stanley, Murphy, Allen, Matera, Hutchins, Rischitelli, Broughton and Bock are the top re-signing priorities?
My list in order:
I probably would have put Harbrow as high as number 2 if I thought he was going to leave but I think there is zero chance of that. Rischitelli, Stanley and Smith fall in a similar boat as I don't think they are going to leave.
My list in order:
- Tom Nicholls - Still no confirmation he is actually out of contract at the end of this year but he would be my top priority if he is.
- Harley Bennell - We all know how talented he is but his future at the club seems to have a cloud over it at the moment. I'd want him signed up pretty soon.
- Brandon Matera - We are yet to see the best Brandon which is exciting. Has the potential to become the Gold Coast's Cyril Rioli. Virtually no other players like him at the club so his signature is important.
- Sam Day - Seems to be finally putting it together and can play several key positions reasonably well. Sign him up and keep developing him.
- Luke Russell - Hard working player that deserves to be rewarded. Turning into a very serviceable utility.

Just had a read. Very interesting article and I think it is absolutely the right approach to have. For anyone who can't access the article, it basically states that it is now policy at the Suns for every draftee to sign a minimum of a one year extension prior to their AFL debut.
Harbrow's extension will take him through to 2017 while Leslie, Lemmens and Kolodjashnij have all signed one year extensions to keep them contracted at the club until 2016.

Courier-Mail on fire. Swallow on Friday, Harbrow and three draftees today.
Doing a way better job than the club is handling this news.

The club would be reluctant to put anything out until it is official. Swallow's deal has not been finalised if I can recall correctly but merely agreed upon.
Harbrow... who knows why they are slow on that one.

The club has always been funny with its contracts, a few of the local journos have even observed this.
They just don't feel the need to release this information, unless it's a big signing.

Inexperienced and low staffed social media/media team I'd say.
