Correct 50% of $1.7 mil is still better than 50% of $1 mil. if the figure is true.

I query how some sides like Geelong, Richmond (in their days), Brisbane, etc. stay under the cap, but when it comes to clubs like StKilda, I laugh my ass off and players who even consider going there.

Fog is equal 6th in the competition last year for tackles inside 50 among players who played 10 games or more (some guys had 2 in 1 game and didn't play again).
His pressure is elite.

If it's true, I'd take that offer if i was him. This is a career, make the most money you can, screw loyalty to the club, they'll toss you out the second you're no longer useful. Look after your own interests, not the club's.

Should I venture over to the Freo board and mention that Motlop could have been playing for either the All-Stars or Freo?

Hypothetically if he chose to leave could the club force a trade? Instead of letting him walk?

Reckon we would take the compensation. Would be worth just about pick 1

Pretty sure most players that elect to leave a club take into account many more factors than purely $.
He can still earn very good $ at Carlton and be part of team success that seems alot more attractive than jumping ship purely for $ which l am confident will be likely outcome.
lf he does elect to leave l don't see the Saints as his destination.
Fogarty is severely underrated - and as far as Geelong is concerned I can tell you they were very unperturbed trading Billy Smedts and Darcy Lang to us, but were very miffed letting Fogarty go.

Fogarty doesn’t kick goals and doesn’t attract the ball. His role is tenuous because he has only one AFL level attribute.

Did manage to kick multiple goals a few times late in the season.
Admittedly it was against rabble sides Richmond, North and Collingwood
However it's uncanny how often when this happens that the player concerned is signed up within a relatively short time frame afterwards. I guess if the player wants to stay they'd prefer the speculation not be a distraction longer than need be.
won 20 of our last 26 games with him in the side. dont be naive to his importance because he "doesn't kick goals"

Compensation would be band 1 which would be pick after where we finish. Aka if we have the season we think, late teens pick in an academy heavy draft

Absolutely but I can’t think of a player ever giving up $600k per year over 7 years. I also couldn’t see him leaving for a couple hundred thousand so another club will likely have to offer near that St Kilda offer (which no successful club is likely to) or imo he is at St Kilda.
This is all assuming we are willing to offer him $1.1mil to. We may go higher but that really does risk our future imo.
Firstly they are reported numbers, so completely subjective.
lf you were the Saints and willing to pay TDK $1.5m try selling that to Rohan Marshall who is a quality ruckman, again broader reasons for going to a club for $.
The Saints have a history of offering players strong dollars to come across,they are yet to attract one.

They make reasons up. Williams is an example on our list but this offer is more on the Ablett and Buddy type offers.

I see you watching me watching you
Imagine running out each week next to Crippa, Weiters, Walsh, Harry, Charlie etc, and then heading to the rabble and running out alongside ? Sinclair?…..I got nothin….
And how many 'A-Grade' free agents switched clubs purely because of money?
Grading the 49 AFL free agents who have moved clubs in the last 10 years
We've gone through the 49 players who have moved via free agency in the last decade and given them a grade.
Personally I think he'll re-sign....although the figures being thrown around could push his price up. He seems to be pretty settled at the club, and we've built a bloody impressive midfield that I'm not sure he'd want to leave behind. Saints midfield is possibly the worse in the AFL at the moment.
