He's a constant twitterer if thats a word

If we were purely social-mediaising (?) his contract...then there's no doubt he's staying.

Bit down about the Bulldogs game but on the bright side it means we can expect a media conference tomorrow announcing Paddy has inked the deal to stay on at AFC.

I've been running this through my head, I'm not sure how it would work or if it's even feasible but do you guys think it would be possible for Adelaide to offer Danger a 5 year contract at 1 mil per year or something similar (provided we have cap space) with a gentleman's agreement that we will facilitate a trade away if he was so inclined? That way he has financial security for the next 5 years and we would receive the compensation we deserve in a fair trade should he wish to leave.

Why does this sound eerily familiar????? Oh wait....

I think we all agreed it's a danger/Sloane/Douglas triple press conference. Maybe they'll stagger them in case we lose showdown?

Piss take right?

If a contracted player requests a trade mid-contract, clubs will generally make attempts to facilitate such, the issue is the onus is then on the player to ensure the his club of choice actually comes to the table in trade week and offers something meaningful. More often than not clubs are too busy arse covering to make the trade. The ability to trade future draft picks would certainly make this easier and if the AFLPA had half a brain they'd be pushing for this, rather than their hobby horse ensure clubs, and lesser players, get screwed over as much as possible with Free-Agency.

At the moment dangerfield isnt playing like a million dollar player. If he keeps it up we might only have to pay him 700 k.

I think GCS and carlton have proven to us that paying a single player 10% of your cap space is a sure fire way to destroy any chance of success.

If it's danger for a mill a year or nothing, I'll take door number 2 thanks.

but on the flip side, sydney pay 2 players almost 10% each and yet they arent cellar dwellers...

COLA. Equivalent to us paying two gun players $500k each

No it isn't. The equivalent of us paying a player $1,000,000 a season is them paying a player $1,098,000. Their salary cap isn't twice as large as the rest of the competition.

You clearly have zero comprehension on how marginal economics works.

Clearly you believe Sydney when they say that they pay each and every player on their list 10% more so as to distribute the COLA evenly across their playing group.

What I believe, is that Sydney pay their star players a lot, and their average ones not so much. While we've likely highly overpaid average players for years, instead of paying them what they're worth.

Someone a while ago said that we were waiting for a bad loss to announce a player signing.

This could be the week.....

not its not. we have multiple players earning over 500k. they dont have the same amount of million dollar players.

In 3 years time will Jenkins, Martin, Hartigan, Shaw, VB, McKay, Lyons, grigg and Wright still be on our list.

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, yes... the last three are harder but I'll go with no, yes, yes.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Errr Jenkins, hartigan,vb and McKay still there, how depressing.

I agree that it's depressing but I can see them all staying on our list. The only definite outs from that list are Martin and Shaw. 3 years is a long time though so hopefully there's a few more gone.
