I’m sensing GW ain’t paying big money anymore moving forward.

Good. In all seriousness, who on this list deserves really big money?

None of our stars has been part of a team that has even won 14 games in a season, yet they are paid like they are the best of the best. Weitering, McKay, Walsh are 1x All Australians. That's B+ level performance. Curnow has 3 very good seasons under his belt at age 27, and a whole lot affected by injury. TDK isn't in the top 6 at his position in the league and is getting offers over $1m? Please... Cripps? Might be a scared cow and 2x Brownlow's is obviously rare, so he is the one exception, but again, hasn't got the team past 14 wins and is just a tier below some of the other superstars in terms of impact.

No other club has paid it's own home-grown players more of a premium than Carlton, going right back to Kouta getting the biggest contract in league history on the back of 18 months of good form.

About time someone put an end to it. We are trapped in a 30 year cycle 'rebuilding' of rebuilding, overpaying players, losing depth due to salary cap issues, falling short due to a lack of depth and inevitable injuries, then blowing it up and starting again.

If Wright has the balls and capacity to end that cycle then it'll give us a red hot shot at actually improving...
 
I love you Walshy, make the campaigner Captain.
Walsh is a leader unlike Cripps. I love Cripps and everything he has put into the club but that comment about the pressure coming off once the players knowing finals was the final straw for me. He is not the guy to drive us to a flag. I think Walsh is our guy.
 
Never saw any such ‘statement’ from Walsh directly or indirectly.

Several have said that he doesn’t/didn’t get on with Voss.
There wasn’t and you won’t find anything from Walsh saying that. Soapy repeatedly stated he’d heard Walsh was considering his options at the end of last year. Then again this year he tried to intimate Walsh was unhappy with Voss and was going to ask out at the end of this year. When quizzed on it repeatedly by me and others he never responded.
 
To be fair, it was on the back of supposed statements from Walsh like "if Voss is here in 2026 Im out". I was guilty of buying it, in hindsight mistakenly and foolishly.
I love the emphatic nature of his statements.
once you understand that and that, what Is said as fact is often opinion you will get along better with them and not take everything so seriously

That’s just bull dust. These players deserve the salary as they took unders to stay and be successful at this club.
You can’t blame market pricing for culture or weak club mentality. A tough task master would have fixed on field mentality by now.

Having a crack at posters for suggesting player trades is a bit short sighted and probably a flow on effect from our long history of shit list management.

At the end of last year Charlie had kicked 50+ goals and led the Coleman for most of the year before belatedly being sent for surgery after playing injured.
There's still no way that you trade Charlie in the 2024 trade period.

Weitering wouldn't be replaceable in our backline.
Harry can be a match winner with his marking ability.
Crippa had just produced an all time great season.

It was no different to this season where the media vultures came for Charlie, Harry and Walsh as well.

At the end of 2025 the game has seen slight changes in style.
Walsh's strengths are now more valuable than ever, so he's an essential player.
The changes to the game have left some doubts over others.

The game and its necessities are always evolving.
Good clubs always reassess as required and are prepared to lose something of value to get ahead of the rest of the comp.

This is a forum for ideas and debate.

3+3 =6, but so does 2x3, and 7-1. 😉

Those picks won't be early picks to consider, with a coach in his last year of his contract.
Sydney 1st pick this year could move out to 12, they could very well make finals next year so not exactly early picks.

Well they can sweeten it, and throw in a second next year as well.

If we go in next year with the list the way it is (no quality small forwards, and no line breaking outside mid/ forward) we won't be going anywhere.

We're consistently winning clearance and inside 50. We need class to deliver inside 50, a quality crumbing small, and some speed on the outside.
 
Apologies i don’t keep up with this thread. Does anyone have a list of our players who are now out of contract? Keen to know who the club has to make decisions on, thanks
 
I’d love Flanders
X factor , good ball user and finds it

The thing with Flanders is he doesn't really run and carry and do heaps of damage. Maybe he's capable and it's just the role he's playing I don't know. From what I've seen he dinks it short and sideways a lot and whilst yes he's quite tidy with the ball, he rarely goes for that dangerous kick. Would cost a lot of currency too.

I like him a lot but think we can get better fits for this team cheaper. Bice or Campbell from Sydney I really like just to name a couple. Farrell I liked but he re-signed with Port this year.
