Not like for like at all, but between the 2 of them they are the backline experience and leaders.
A defence of Worrell, Butts, Michaelanny, Milera, Murray and Parnell has experience as of today of 6, 54, 12, 85, 40 and 15 games.
This is just a crap situation for Tom and the club as well. As soon as he went off, unfortunately my mind went to whether it was an ACL and his out-of-contract status.
Brain injury can be devastating long-term, but nothing threatens AFL careers more than the dreaded ACL. It strikes from nowhere, some more than others. I hope he recovers well, and wherever Tom is next year I hope we can get the right outcome for him and the club. We have to look after the club's broader interests as well as his.

Sad for doedee
Probably best case for us is if we genuinely hadn’t started contract talks as withdrawing/reducing an offer does have likely negative cultural implications
If he had put off talks or even told us he was going then we are well in our right to let the market speak. If suddenly the market isn’t offering him enough to want to leave and we possibly get him cheap then so be it.
Although if we thought he was leaving and suddenly he he were to agree to a 2 year deal would/should we do it? There’s be a good chance it’s 2 and gone so the $ would basically be for 1.5 years if so.

*, I’ve done two knees both on left and right. I’m still feeling the affects from it. Wish you best Tom!

We would morally have to offer him an extension. Imho he is easily in our best players, was touted a future captain before injury stopped his progress. I hope he comes back and better.
At least we can go full bore with the Redmond deal as Doed's will be on the inactive list.
Really bad luck for Tom.
It's an interesting situation and while I think he has accepted terms with another club and that should still be on the table. It does make me think Managers should be pushing to get players out 12 months before their contract is up.

What? Why?
He delayed contract talks. Took a risk and ultimately its looking like it backfired. We don't owe him anything.

Absolutely spot on.
It's very sad for Tom and I wish him the best in his recovery.
As callous as it may sound, this could actually be a net positive for the club. I think he was gone at the end of the year, so this LTI forces us to play Worrell for the next 11 games which is a great result for the club.
If this ruins his big deal he had locked away with another club, then I would happily re-sign him at a much cheaper rate.

Sad to hear about the ACL. It looks like Tom was off to another club so I hope they will still take him on. He likely will only miss about the first 8 rounds next year so I think he will be fine. It might affect the length of the deal unfortunately but hopefully it doesn't. I had the feeling Tom knew on the bench.
Redman has coaches votes in 7 out of 11 games prior to this round, with only Dawson and Laird having more votes for us, and Merrett for Essendon. So basically you're saying every game where he isn't 'very average' he's in the best half dozen players on the field as judged by the coaches. Which seems like pretty high praise to me.

I wouldn’t bother, this is just Wayne’s latest attempt of trying to talk Redman down. Previously he said there was a big disparity in his performance in Essendon wins and losses, which was proven incorrect….
He’s said it’s madness to want to pay him what we wouldn’t pay Lever, which was 6 years ago….
He’s said we should be targeting mids without naming any….
He’s said we won’t be able to pay the rest of our “stars”, not taking into account our salary cap situation, how Redman will only be our 3rd recruit in 3 years and how other top clubs with confirmed stars keep bringing in players annually…..
He’s valuing Redman at $550k, enough said…….
I could get behind the argument that a rebounding half back is not our biggest need right now, since we have Smith, Hinge, Milera etc. But Redman is very good, and I can't see an inside mid we could pick up as an FA instead unfortunately, which is our primary 'need'.

You've also mentioned our lack of leadership in defence, that there isn't a marshall there to organise structures and lead. Minimal presence or direction from Butts and Murray. Maybe we see Redman as being able to fill that role

Smith is pretty much done. We do need a running half back but we also need an elite mid, a better ruck and another key forward as depth for when Walker retires. I see Hinge as a wing as he isn't great defensively.
Rehn's first 2 were the same knee and he came back from those to be huge in our premiership years.
His 3rd time was on the other knee, and he was never the same player again after that.

Murray has been marshalling them pretty well. Maybe Worrell is also good in that space. Butts has been average most of the year and I wouldn't mind seeing what Keane can do.

You can see what Keane can do in the SANFL, and it isn't enough.

I think football fans as a whole haven't come to terms with how salaries have increased. $700k isn't an enormous salary.
Did we just miss the mid-season draft too? FFS

Yeah I've seen him but some players do better at AFL level. If they feel they aren't going to get picked they just go through the motions.
