Is Lonie actually on the cards?
I don't know. Has been mentioned by some, but can't see it.
It's a hard one this year because the bulk of our work has already been done....and now it's boring.

Is Lonie actually on the cards?
I'd take him if they paid 30-50% of his salary and would take 16ish. If we could split 7 for 16+18.Treloar is a salary dump for the Pies.
Contracted to 2025 @ $800K - $1m = $4m-$5m.
Dodgy hamstrings are generally a bigger problem as you age, and he is 28-32 years old to 2025.

No you!
I said it when SOS left, the boys would be gone by the end of this year. Ben is gone, Jack will be traded, nothing surer in my mind.Just heard a grab from the SOS interview, and if what he is saying is accurate you probably couldnt blame Jack if he wanted out.
Bit ageist.....Keep this up and I'll kick your walking frame from underneath you.
Bit ageist.....
Least you're a realist.I am everything'ist.
Is anyone else concerned about the way we are spending the money available in our salary cap over the last couple of years ?
We worked really hard to finally get our tpp in order and we seem to be wasting a lot of it almost in desperation just to get some players through the door.

Thankfully we stayed away from Ellis and the 600 we were apparently prepared to pay him.
I still see a big gap in our midfield that needs fixing and to a slightly lesser extent a developing key defender, I would have thought these would be the priority rather than flankers, 3rd/4th forwards or old forward pockets.
For me this is why pick 7 should not be used in any trade unless it’s for a gun midfielder, If Essendon want more than pick 27 for Saad, upgrade it for a pick in the late teens using next years 2nd round pick and if that’s not good enough take the risk on walking him to the national draft no team is selecting him using a top 20 pick.
We've only got two years to spend 105% of the cap because of banking cap space for the previous two years. If we don't spend the extra 5%, it disappears.Is anyone else concerned about the way we are spending the money available in our salary cap over the last couple of years ?

Better to spend and front load to be able to get benefits being transferred across multiple seasons.

Nah, you have to spend 95% of it every year. Thus we are front loading some of these contracts to ensure availability in later years. If you want guns, you have to pay. All these players were worth is, except Gov with benefit of hindsight. There are no guarantees in this business.Is anyone else concerned about the way we are spending the money available in our salary cap over the last couple of years ?

The assumption I made was that we'd be at or over the 95% mark for next year.Nah, you have to spend 95% of it every year.

Saad, Williams and some lower profile additions gives us at least a B in this period. Anything else is a bonus and we have the cap space to spend.

Today’s announcement ensures the Carlton faithful will see De Koning’s career continue to flourish until at least the end of 2023.
Give it break. Eddie offers value beyond his on field performance and, anyway, he has a very young family. Then 4 kids and now a 5th on the way. Also, as if the power brokers at Carlton are going to leave Simmo high and dry in retirement. Bit less emoting from a few ”outraged” posters would be most welcome.Williams is on probably over $400k less then what we were offering Shiel and COGs (and didn’t have to trade for him like we would’ve Shiel) Saad is on the same as Martin and has twice the amount of runs on the board, MMG was paid under SOS, This is the first time I’ve heard Eddie was on $500k and if that’s right it is ridiculous.
So no I’m not worried because nothing noticeable has really changed under the new regime imo maybe Betts but I don’t believe that figure and it’s not much more then Fasolo who we would’ve paid ~$800k to and Betts isn’t here for what he does on field.
Starting to think we might try and move Mitch to save some cap space
As I said if Eddie isn’t getting paid just for what he does on field. Atm he is a very average footballer so if we were getting Adelaide out of his contract and coughed up $500k to pay him it seems ridiculous oversGive it break.

Thought Adelaide was paying half of Eddie's wage as part of the trade deal..Williams is on probably over $400k less then what we were offering Shiel and COGs (and didn’t have to trade for him like we would’ve Shiel) Saad is on the same as Martin and has twice the amount of runs on the board, MMG was paid under SOS, This is the first time I’ve heard Eddie was on $500k and if that’s right it is ridiculous.
