Keeping a basic spreadsheet of who’s earning what next year should hold us in good stead for a start.

Maybe you could hire this … Guy

To be fair that’s

Pretty sure you had no choice to trade it anyway or you would have paid market value or more for Daicos. In the end you got him at pick 4 so kept enough currency to stay in the draft. I think Collingwood did really well in the end. He’s going to walk in as a forward-mid and impact immediately.
It helped that GWS didn't select him. It actually really made the draft for us. Allowed us to add Draper and another couple of speedy midfielders at 49 and 52. Wouldn't have had any of those selections if a bid came earlier.

No doubt G Wright taking over has been significant. Getting rid of Treloar, Stephenson and Phillips at the time also saved us about $1.5m in cap space (even after the Treloar contribution). So that's worth something and will come in handy over the next couple of years.
 
Seriously though Pies can't lose from here with JDG.
Offer him 4 years x $650k..
If he says yes then fine . Carry on.
If he says no I can get more elsewhere then Pies get band one compo.
Can't lose either way.
Unless of course he gets arrested again for something.

We haven't changed our position.

The new coaching crew at Vic Park will be keen to influence JDG at the earliest possible time. Could be a turning point for him.

His manager thinks he could be the best player in the comp? Delusional.

Why not? He can get 30 touches in midfield and kick 6 goals up forward. Not many else can do that if any. Put it together more consistently and strike a better balance eg 25 touch/3 goal games and you have a extremely damaging player. It’s not a far fetched proposition.

It's a drastically far fetched proposal
Would be borderline top 50 st best

I can see the talent he has but I still think it’s extremely far fetched. Has he even been All Australian despite his obvious talent? It’s the same as Michael Walters who incidentally has also got a 30 and 6 to his name but never really been in the conversation as best player at Freo, let alone the comp. No club was prepared to pay top dollar for JDG when he was shopping himself around as a million dollar man. He’s got some serious ground to make up on the top players who perform consistently IMO.
