Was it not obvious enough

I must have missed the emoticon....

 

[hey shorty]

Of course they do ....trade Jack Stevens ($900K) , Bruce ($600K) and Carlisle ($500K) ...frees up a lot of coin ....they'll get a 2nd round pick to pay for Jenkins

I'm talking picks not coin

Why should the club buy them coffee? They already supply food and water and the club. It's not like they are on minimum wage!

Would have thought lots of employers supply coffee to their staff.

Phallacy ....by clubs buying time with excuses .....enough mechanisms to regenerate your list quickly, if your club is good enough

Fallacy?

Not from the local cafe though

I would assume Jenkins Contract has him only getting paid big $$$ ...if he's playing AFL, not SANFL

Let's hope so!

I don't know for certain but I've gathered that clubs have gone away from variable contracts. Too hard to stay within the cap. Too many things going on if money is heavily affected by team selection, B&F results etc.

Ewww what was he thinking?....

I thought it was the club’s cafe.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

he would get paid the same whether he played AFL or SANFl

I understand that would be the case for the "A" graders ...Walker, Sloane ....but not sure that would apply to Jenkins

i would have thought Jenkins would have been seen as "A" grader at the time he signed

I reckon JJ could be a starter in at least half the lists in the AFL. I also don’t he’s on particularly big coin for the kind of player he is. If $500k is correct, I don’t think he’ll struggle to get that elsewhere and get games.

Even this year he averaged 2 goals a game. Had been averaging close to 50 for the previous 6 seasons. If we had a forward line coach who wasn’t completely useless, he could have had another 50 this year.

I think he is one of the many players who have completely lost faith in the football department and coaches. A new start would be best for him. I reckon he’ll get one on roughly the same coin, and I don’t even think we’ll need to contribute to it. It wouldn’t surprise me if goes straight back to a 50 goal season either.

Yeah they'll have enough picks from those 3 trades

Sorry ...it's my mind thinking Phallic all the time

I'm not 100% ....but I thought they were starting to revert back to variable ....example, a 7 year contract must have safguards for the clubs ...can't be unconditional

Surely not .....I'd be aghast if that were the case

I agree with most of this .....but this is wrong ...h just wouldn't frickin play in front ...he did after he came back from the SANFL till he rested the ankle ...after that, back to playing from behind & dropped

If they move Carlisle and Bruce on though? seems a bit of shuffling the chairs (all similar ages).

I get the feeling its a bit of a cultural move with Ratten stamping his authority on the list. Make a few moves early, it may be net sum zero in terms of talent, but getting fresh, ready to play faces into the team may be the end goal.

Saints have been down for a while, they need to rebound quickly so expect them to make some big moves.

Whether Faith actually has some info or is just reading the tea leaves, they're probably not far off what would happen.
Bring in Keath --> Carlisle
Jenkins --> Bruce
Hill --> Steven
Ryder/Goldstein --> as an established ruckman
Maybe a few other moves.

That thread was pretty funny when they start talking about how they'll get Crouch for less than $500K a year, won't have to even give up a 1st round pick and we'll potentially pay part of his salary as well.

 

[Mong]

(Burton) Was a bloody average player

What? He was better than average. Way better.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sorry ...it's my mind thinking Phallic all the time

 

[FR0GGY]

Jack Stevens and Josh Bruce’s pick will become available...

Which they’ll need for hill

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What? He was better than average. Way better.

If only Burton was as good at being a Football Manager as he was a player...

After he came back from being dropped, he was our most dangerous forward. Why was he dropped the second time? Clearly not related to his on field performances relating to kicking goals.

Bank him for at least 40 goals next year...unless Ben Hart is his coach

May have been posted elsewhere as I’ve now heard it from two different people....but Worsfold’s wife and kids apparently were already back in WA and the whole lot planned to move back regardless of the result tonight. He’s out of Bombers, big chance of going to Freo in some role (not necessarily coach).

Rutten in at bombers with some level of assistance.
