2008 player prices (centres)

[Mr Hard Ball Get]

now im lost

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

what was the salary cap again?
if I could remember, there was not 1 midfielder over 400k
Wouldn't the salary cap increase?

 

[Hodges]

There were heaps of players over 400k! Well maybe not heaps, but definately a couple - Kornes was one.

 

[lifelike_]

Scotand was another one over 400k IIRC.

There really shouldn't be room in the cap to allow more than one 400k mid.

 

[Mulletman]

The top 10 centres at the start of 2007.

CORNES, Kane (PTA) $412,500
SCOTLAND, Heath (CAR) $408,600
HAYES, Lenny (STK) $408,000
SWAN, Dane (COL) $399,600
CROSS, Daniel (WBD) $399,300
BRUCE, Cameron (MEL) $397,700
JUDD, Chris (WCE) $394,100
POWER, Luke (BRL) $391,500
BUCKLEY, Nathan (COL) [FWD] $390,700
MCDONALD, James (MEL) $388,400

Jono Brown at $433K was the only player with a higher starting price than K.Cornes and the only other player over $400K.

Highest ruck was Lade at $387.5K (Cox was $100 cheaper) and the most expensive Backman was Goddard at $381K (almost $27K higher than C.Cornes who was 2nd).

For the record, Bartel started the year at $385.8K and was the 12th ranked Centre.

Cheers,

So would the salary cap increase or decrease?

So would the salary cap increase or decrease?

Probably increase.

I think most would be surprised if it decreased.

 

[smmorrow]

So would the salary cap increase or decrease?

The dream team competition follows the same salary cap as the AFL so it would only increase each year.

 

[Go_Blues]

i did it

i used last years forumla

average X 3927

that must have taken u ages, thanks for doing it though. why isnt Carrazzo on the list?

 

[makingmemark]

Found it very interesting how close Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis were in the stats this year - and hence their projected prices.

 

[Kid rock]

mclean lock
goodwin lock
bartram lock
judd lock
bartel lock
selwood tasty
cross tasty
schammer tasty

would be quite silly

 

[Teh_Nub]

Any1 think Cousins is good for next year?

 

[nameless]

cross at 360k is a definite lock!

 

[Deenamite]

McLean has to be the biggest lock.

 

[Pumbi]

This is probably a typical move, but IF Judd goes to Carlton, one of my first picks will be Marc Murphy..

 

[PAFCsince1870]

cross at 360k is a definite lock!

Agree, absolute DT gun

This is probably a typical move, but IF Judd goes to Carlton, one of my first picks will be Marc Murphy..

Throw in Nick Stevens and Murphy is just about a definite IF that happens.

 

[wizardcupfinalblues]

This is probably a typical move, but IF Judd goes to Carlton, one of my first picks will be Marc Murphy..

Agreed but he will be anyway because Stevens is back

 

[Pumbi]

Agreed but he will be anyway because Stevens is back

yeah i was gonna add that in there, now there could be 2 valid reasons for getting him, even more tempting.

 

[nameless]

dunno if i could take judd now

 

[T Rick]

Players such as Nathan Jones, Pendlebury and other young midfielders will definitely be on my shopping list next year. As will Nathan Foley. Danyle Pearce is also very well priced.

 

[Hodges]

From that list Cross, Stanton, Pearce and Murphy are great value. Add to that group one of Bartel/Kornes and throw in a cheapie project player (this years Foley/Rodan/Knights). That is what im looking at for my midfield next year.

 

[Go_Blues]

For those prices, i would be prepared to pick up one of Bartel, Corey or most likely Kane Cornes,

Cross and Stanton look interesting, and everyone will have judd if he's fit.

Brock McLean is another who should be looked at for that price.

Dont care how cheap Simon Black is, wont pick him up again!!!!

Simon black was in my team. He was REALLY inconsistent

 

[lifelike_]

I'll only pick up Black during the season if he's going well.

Was probably the most frustrating player I had in my team this year.

 

[lion_gooner]

black could be played off the backline next season to stop him being tagged every game so expect his score to sky rocket if it happens

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Simon Black has never been a great DT scorer. I would avoid.
