Yeah I wasn't trolling either mate. Just watched a footy clinic is all. If you look through my posts there aint many click baits in there ;) Things you do need to address is your backline though. 14 goals against a weak as piss untried forward line. If you jag Fyfe (1 mill +), the tiggers will have a rolls Royce midfield.

That said though, take Rance out of your backline .............. need depth boiz.

You were very accurate last night. We were shithouse down back though.

Its definitely a worry amongst all in here. The good part was that Rance was the one with the shocker last night. Hopefully as soon as he cleans out the cobwebs than its 4 goals less to you guys. He played bugger all JLT and went in under prepared.

Piss Off You Troll
Your most probably right but it depends who we shove out the door to make it happen.
Prestia and Caddy wouldn't have come for peanuts and then we have Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt plus forking out $$$$ for Martin.

We have lost Deledios wage though and Yarrans. Rumour is we had enough room for a big fish prior to Lids leaving and Yarran retiring so who knows.
Hunt $200k
Maric $250k
Hampson $330k
Morris $250k
Lennon $400k

Thats $1.5 mil wiped off the cap with no issue,Just about all these players can be replaced with $100 mature age rookies for what they will deliver this year

Theres always someone from every club that tries do a similar list. It just simply doesnt work like that though. If Lennon is on that much than thats a good start but you cant take out 5 players for 1 and replace them with rookies especially when we already have rookies.

Also Martin will now be on $300 - $400k more
Rioli will get a pay rise
Butler will get a pay rise
Castagna will get a pay rise
Nank will get a pay rise

Not saying we cant do it but pushing junk out the door isnt going to make it happen. Im more interested to know if we maybe already have some in the room with Lids gone and Yarran gone.

of course you can

grigg
bachelor
townsend
maric
lambert
hunt
broad

who are all coming out of contract are bang average (no disrespect to maric, just age and its a long shot for him to go around again '18) ... and would there would be no issue replacing them with promising kids both already on the list or new drafties

this is basic list management

i am pleased butler, castagna and nank has shown something but they are hardly going to demand mega-deals

If getting rid of him meant getting fyfe you wouldnt pack his bags? :eek:
I don't want Fyfe.
1. He will cost too much and we would lose someone good as a result.
2. We don't need him.
3. We need key position players in the front half.

Fyfe is a luxury we can't afford to have.

We're still paying some of Lids' salary tho.

You can scratch Hampson off your list seeing how he was re-signed for another 2 years. We'd still have to pay out his contract. How long was Lennons. contract?

Just on the way the commentators blew their load over Dusty, does anyone think they would've still carried on like they did if he wasn't in the last year of his contract or had signed a new one. ?
Of course not, would then be all about he has to start living up to his big money deal.

The sideshow will be every week all year till he signs or god forbid leaves. Am sure dusty hates the focus also

Yeah I still think they would have. It was a dominant performance.

Thats unfortunate if true about Hampson on another year but Lets just replace him with Townsend on $250k then

Not sure what you have seen in Lennon, Did you see the 3 goals he kicked against NB ? Very much other players work and he is just waiting at the back with his opposition player not paying him any respect as the entire football world know he is a spud

Lenno is definitely on $400k a year after bending us over during the Yarran deal where he was out of contract, We had no choice to sign him up or he was walking to the PSD where sos got in his ear to force us to pay overs for Yarran.

Lennon is off contract this year and he is not on 400k I can guarantee you.
