Veterans isn't that good a thing anymore. They started phasing it out a few years ago.

Yep, Veterans benefits on the salary cap no longer exists as far as I understand. Extracted from the CBA (AFL Collective Bargaining Agreement);

15.3 Expiration of Veterans Rule The following shall be effective as of 1 November 2016: (a) The AFL shall increase the TPP per Club by an amount equal to the yearly average of Veterans Allowance payments made by all AFL Clubs (excluding Gold Coast Suns and Greater Western Sydney Football Clubs) in 2015 and 2016 AFL Season; and 21 Amended 17 February 2015 (b) The Veterans Allowance set out in this clause shall expire.

Yes. He is clearly in the Pavlich /Sandilands bracket so we have a pretty reasonable deal. In addition we have a tribe of young players coming through for whom he is an icon. Getting his commitment is exactly what the club needs.

Being a one club player also maximises his brand long term as it comes with a set of values that Australian advertisers love - loyalty, trust, hard work, dedication, courage. He'll make back any differences in sponsorship dollars

At that kind of salary level tax strategy and his other investments /income are going to play a more important role than higher salary may provide. And of course on field success would have a multiplier effect.

I was hoping we'd get a couple of first rounders for him in 2023 when he leaves to play with the Gold Coast and help them win their first AFL premiership after winning 2 with us.

 

[Schauermann]

Considering the recent payrise this feels like a bargain.

Just watched a few Fyfe videos on YouTube. Geez you forget how many moments he has had. So glad he is staying at Freo. Personally I thought he would stay. Deserves at least 1.5 mill

Had a down game, still in our bests.
Did you miss the last couple weeks? Back to back BOG for us

Patience...only the foundations are being laid this year. Rome will not be built this year, possibly this decade.

 

[Nodgey]

Starting to think the rumours his teammates don't like him are true.

How else can you explain them consistently spoiling his marking attempts. Drove me insane, imagine how he feels...

 

[Taylor]

The coach gave the instruction to attack the ball. They are literally told to compete every opportunity.

Half the problem is Croz trying to take a hanger whenever the ball is in his general vicinity.

not having a go at you but last year people were mad at Ross for "removing his natural game and not allowing him to fly for marks"

Kid just needs to play off half back & use his natural attributes.

This is why we have 3 blokes going for the same mark while our opponents collect the crumbs and go forward? I can't accept that. Lyon isn't that stupid.

There's a time and place for everything. It's a team game. Crozier needs to find that balance.

I totally agree, just making an observation

He said so himself.

 

[Nodgey]

He said so himself.

Then he was being extremely generous and kudos to him for publicly backing his players. I'd hope however he's doing some coaching behind the scenes.

Would have thought he's the least of our worries right now.

Yep, not sure what people expect from Fyfe.

I'm not a big fan of the AFL player ratings system, but according to them (plus my calculations to include Round 18), since Fyfe's return (in Round 15 after his mini break to get over his bruising and soreness), he is one of only five players in the league to average 18 or more AFL points per game since then (Martin 20.3, Dangerfield 19.8, Cunnington 19.2, Fyfe 19.1, Zorko 18.7).

 

[Silent Alarm]

Simple directives breed confidence

Simple directives speak well to players because in contrary opinion to most people, footy is still a simple game and footballers are dumb as *. But this is a call firing from the hip.
