We need to prepare for life without Tom. My mail is 100% gone to Saints as he chases the dollar and SOS is all over him.

He can **** off for all i care if he doesn’t want to commit and history shows they rarely sign on when the contracts are always put on hold. If he wanted to stay he would of been locked in already.
Pretty sure I read similar posts a couple of years ago.

Re TDK contract

I tend to follow the “bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush”

I do recognise however that TDK value is still based a bit on potential, but a mobile ruck who can clunk a mark and kick a goal who is not a waste when it hits the ground - that is someone we need to retain

Sure we can’t throw $1.5m a season at him but $1m a year seems fair
I suspect we had to keep Pittonet on an average salary ($500k) until TDK commits
It probably leads to us to losing Pittonet and a best 22 player like Williams and a fringe player like Cottrell
Maybe we can fit in TDK but Walsh also needs to be paid so we would be naive in thinking keeping TDK at $1m won’t have ramifications

Option 1 - Retain TDK
TDK $1.1m
2nd Rd Draftee. $100k
3rd Rd Draftee. $100k
Low draftee. $100k

Option 2 - let TDK go
Pittonet (comp =2nd Rd) $500k
Williams (3rd Rd) $500k
Cottrell. $300k
Pick 10-18. $100k

I am okay with paying TDK, I am keen to back in the King - he could be a game changer and get us a flag in the next few years (as a key part of puzzle) but also think:
  • Pittonet backup could be given to HOK if they think he is coming along
  • Williams is a loss but I think we could replace him with another small forward or resting mid
  • Cottrell or similar below average payments will move on every season and replaced with draftees - that’s BAU
How much top line football has Williams played in the last 3 years?

Disappointed it wasn't Liam. Couldn't have had a better year at VFL level (Won B&F, CHF in VFL team of the year..) he's the right age, height and a very handy backup if Harry or Charlie go down for an extended period.
Disagree. Take it with a grain of salt i suppose, but I’ve heard he was far from impressive during pre season
 
Evans has been delisted from two clubs in the past 3 years, hardly a great endorsement.
l would say all the SSP would be on par, but the point of difference was key position coverage which we are thin if injuries strike, we have 4-5 options ahead of Evans.

Not talking about him. Talking about KPP
