The funny thing about getting tax deductions - even earning $1m a year you have to spend a dollar to save 47c

Only an extra $13,500 per fortnight extra...
from the $1.1 to the $1.7$1.7 is near enough to $36,000 per fortnight.
but is that really enough to go to Stinkilda........

Voss to take pay slash to help team
Edit: Article from 2003, where Voss took a paycut at the height of his status as a player. Just as part of the recent discussion.
Thanks skadoosh this needed some clarity.

Crossley dominated the ruck in the first half against our VFL side, then slowed down a bit in the 2nd half. He couldn't ruck alone at AFL level .

I'd be tempted to play him ahead of Pitto. Been a while since we've had a real bruiser of a ruck instead of worrying about ours getting bruised.

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Yeah. I honestly couldn't say which way he meant it.

Wtf is Pitto if not a bruiser? Crossley is miles off AFL fitness, same reason the Dogs passed on him as a sign on over pre season

Plenty of people on only ~ $200k try to recover every single penny from work related expenses and are tight in general.
It’s easy to be generous/play down importance of money with other peoples income.
Let’s get real…
$1.1M v $1.7M is a hugely huge difference.

Pitto ain't a bruiser mate, he's just a lumbering ruck who can't jump. He can match it for strength in the wrestling contests but he doesn't scare anyone.
I reckon if we were of a mind to take a mature age ruck in the MSD (ie. If we're of the belief thag TDK will go), then Crossley would be a good get. Treat the second half of the season as an extended preseason and aim to have him ready for R1 next year. Pitto still contracted is then insurance if Crossley isn't, as you suggest, up to AFL fitness by then.
Happy to entertain other options, I'm not all in on the guy. Just see him as potentially being a worthwhile prospect, and one who I like the idea of on profile.
TDK will stay.
Bloke does amazing things to our system.
Plus can play for 120 min.

Really are going round in circles re: TDK. He'll stay or go.
What I'm worried about is the club being in a position to maximise either way. Don't get caught flat footed.
If he's going, we should be well into negotiations with potential recruits.

Surely Robbie Williams will donate him some cash.

I said a while back I believe TDK will take the money and run and firmly believe he still will.
If the Saint have a war chest like has been mentioned, expect TDK to make approx 2.5 million in his first year. Then after that it will fluctuate but probably be around the 1.1 - 1.5 million a year range which is easy for clubs these days, especially with the increases coming.
It will be a very smart offer by the Saints and who wouldn’t like approx 2.5 million in the 1st year of a new job.
Hate the Club but if we had money to spare, I’d be expecting us to play our cards the same way.

True Ag, but the $600k difference is gross salary. After tax, 50% gets taken away and you’re left with a paltry difference of $300k...
We don’t have the draft capital it would take to trade for him with what we currently have no first rounder this year, need for Cody next year, and the overall compensation Port would demand for him…
Gun player that would make our midfield/forward lines automatically another level better, just can’t see it happening…
Record deal…
The next most rated in VFL seems to be Keogh from Coburg

A top 6 compo pick + 2027 first would be a fair offer. Dont think Butters leaves this year though
Honestly I think this is mostly all theater. I have no doubt TDKs manager is throwing out these offers to inflate his players contract and of course why wouldn't they. But why is it only supposed St Kilda that have been brought out into the spotlight? Surely every club would be looking at him. Why is it only St Kildas offer out there so early. No one except the player and manager( maybe some family and close friends also) know the true offer. The media just guesses on every players contract. It's funny it is St Kilda with the whole SOS and Carlton love hate relationship. For me TDK is not worth 1.7 or even 1.1 million. He has a few good games under his belt but its not like this is a 3 year sample size of him playing excellent footy and he has been towelled up by quite a few so called average ruckman in the past. I would want to see at least a 2 year sample size of him doing amazing things and want to be seeing him kicking far more goals and doing a lot better around the ground when he isn't rucking. Even at 1.1 million I would be saying see ya. 1.7 million is 10% of the current salary cap. I would want a Bontempelli for that price. We are hamstrung enough by high paying long term deals and as a result our bottom 12 players are average and our list has no depth. How did the Brody Grundy deal turn out for Collingwood or Freo paying massive numbers for 2 ruckmen. Ruckmen are not worth that money full stop.
Don’t sell yourself short Forty3, those paper cuts can be really really painful…
don't we also have to take the tax off our offer as well. So it is net vs net.True Ag, but the $600k difference is gross salary. After tax, 50% gets taken away and you’re left with a paltry difference of $300k...
De Konings in the air,
Everywhere I look around
He’s not going anywhere,
Princes Park is where he’s bound.
Yes - $1.1m works out to $635k net and $1.7m works out to $935k net.
The net difference is $300k.
