Thanks for the clarification - so walters could head to indig development position without us paying out his salary. And fyfe could become brand ambassador for the dockers for say $250k annually… whats that worth in slaary cap saving -$500-600k a year?

Aish is good depth. I don’t think we can cover all of JOM, Fyfe and Sonny next year. Maybe bring Sonny into a coaching role for his last year to free up a list spot. Fyfe is right on the brink. He was good in some games but his lack of pressure and speed were shown up later in the year. Maybe just roll him through next season. JOM I would only play similar to Aish as depth and that will depend on our off season
It doesn't work like that. How do you think we found the money for Darcy, Cox? Their extensions came just after the salary cap increase was formally announced. Long contracts for Serong, Young, Treacy, etc? Brayshaw to come. These players would be courted by Vic/SA teams and we have to pay them good money.
The salary cap is planned out years in advance. There's no magic war chest created for Bolton from the increase in cap and retirements. That money is already allocated to players already on our list and planning for Warner. There would have been an allocation in place for McDonald, but that has been moved towards Treacy's long term deal.
Bolton is a massive spanner in the works for the planning. Have to scramble to fit him in. It is imperative to get Richmond to pay a significant chunk of Bolton's salary. Otherwise Warner becomes exceedingly difficult and we probably need to lose a Cox or Darcy or multiple Switta-level players.

Clarification please
If we retire someone / someone retires, does their payout come out of our salary cap for next year? Or is this a oneoff payout separate from the cap?
If its the former, then keeping fyfe, jom and walters make a lot of sense next year to then have more cap space for warner end of next season.
If its the latter, then if kossie is even vaguely an option, you would surely be clearing the decks to make cap space for him as needed?
Ta for help
If Fremantle delist a contracted player the entire remaining salary is added to the TPP (total player payments) for 2024 - unless they are picked up by another team but if they are and the contract is less than the Freo contract they were on Fremantle pays the difference up front.
A retiring player can reach agreement to be paid out less up front, but most clubs tend to move them to the rookie list to have $85k or so knocked off the TPP for that following season.
We can afford pick 10 and Bolton's salary, if that's what your asking. And, there should be another 2m+ to spare in coming years. Of course, it's all guess work forme as salaries aren't public info. Basically, the AFLPA have negotiated a deal for TPP at the right time for buyers.
I get your point but as yet I've heard nothing reliable that Freo are scrambling to work out the TPP. I'll leave that to Collingwood. I do know we saved a bucket load when Hogan and Lobb left.

It's widely reported that all clubs except WC and Essendon had CBA% increases in their player contracts. There isn't necessarily more cap available because of the cap increase

Wonder if someone has shown interest (North et al.) and this is just to say he's valued, cough up a fourth rounder.
He was in touch with WAFL clubs earlier in the year.
May also be that Voss, despite agreeing to a 2 year deal (not announced) has had his turned.

Also, RE: Occams Razor.
Yeah, Warner makes the most sense. it's obvious.
But here's an example where the theory breaks down.
I ask you what animal this wool comes from, the obvious answer is 'sheep'
What I fail to inform you is that we're standing in Peru.
And so I posit, in lieu of valuable information, the answer is Bont or DeGoey.

Voss is still fine from what I've heard, I think they want Taberner down at Peel Thunder more than anything.

We've offered Reidy a contract. He'll likely be elsewhere.

To show the kids how to eat up space in the F50? Will lose all faith in the club if they give Taberner a new deal, there is just no reason to at all.

I think when it comes down to key forward depth they rate Taberner over Kuek, they don't think he's ready yet.Likely spells the end for Sebit then

I know nothing about the Jack Martin stuff, that could be true for all I know.
