i rate him but at 33 we'd have him for 5 minutes, i know you only want him as a stop gap but ideally we'd get at least a few years out of someone who can become depth as someone overtakes them.
also he's a best 22 player in a top 4 side so i wouldn't see him leaving unless we give him too much money or too many years.

it's also worth noting that he plays his best footy on a wing, which isn't where we'd want a stopgap player

He’s been in the twos a bit this year, hence why I thought he’d be in his last season.

 

[The Dustbin]

Nope, we want a big bodied mid to protect our smaller midfield. So why not if he’s still fit?

 

[andleanback]

Is Mitch Robinson worth picking up as a stop gap?

Stop gap for what? We actually have a few good wingers now

 

[The Prosecutor]

Is Mitch Robinson worth picking up as a stop gap?

He's 33 and in-and-out of his current team, playing a position we're actually pretty well off in.

I actually thought he was more of an inside mid. Checked his stats, he isn’t

Who does John Ralph think we’ll “take advantage worth a Brodie-style cap dump” with?

read an article today suggesting we could have close to $2m in cap space at years end. Surely we must be in trouble of paying the floor if that is true

Let's just dump it into the match payments and pay $1,000 per tackle.

Last year our tackling was good and all that was on offer (apparently) was mars bars and cans of coke. Can probably put the cash towards the VFL program instead

I know a way to free up a whole lot more....

You can pay 95% of the cap a few years if you choose. I’d keep most of the cash this year and go after someone at the end of next year. Take our picks get more talent. Really don’t think paying Brayshaw 700+ is worth it. oliver is a free agent next year. I’d tempt him with a mill plus.

The salary cap is $13.4m, so if we have $2m I cap space we are still $1.3m away from the Salary floor of 95% (12.7m) to carry it over.

We have to spend it on someone, so heavily front ending a Brayshaw contract and/or taking on someone else's problem (see Peter Wright for example) will almost be required

We could also e re structure some contracts/extensions we have already agreed to already (i.e Ridley, Stringer, Shiel) or about to agree to (McGrath, Langford) to bring some money forward into next year to mean we turn them into front ended deals and free some more cap space down the line.

Contract increases for players. We can always move more money into next year and front load contracts. Making even more space on the back end.

This is essentially why I would have no problem paying out a guy like Devon Smith who is (a) contracted for 2023, but (b) also would be on some ok coin to pay out and include in our salary cap.


Im not across all the players in the trade market right now but surely there are some Will Brodie's, Luke Dunstan's out there. Id hazard a guess that Gold Coast &/or GWS may be wanting some salary cap space, maybe look at the Dogs to do them (and us) a favour by taking on a salary dump.

I think Brayshaw from melbourne would be excellent free agency pickup he is better than anything we have at half back and helps solve big bodied midfielder issue as well if at half back he one side Mcgrath the other and then a capable chb and you have a great half back line. He came third in a brownlow playing on ball and is bigger than our mids too.

I’d go and try and poach Flanders out of Gold Coast and turn him into a permanent forward and make him our toby greene type. Has great forward craft.

Flanders is the one I think of straight away. Stuck well behind the mids they currently have in the AFL line up and now have a glut of medium forwards at AFL level. All while putting up decent numbers at the level below.

Yeah and we’d selling him on the toby greene / Rachele type player role. We don’tneed him as a midfielder. Throw a decent offer, sell the role and try to get him to walk.

Brayshaw FA

Hope we have pick 2 and we trade it to Adelaide with our 3rd rounder for their 1st and 2nd rounders this year as they'll want Phillipou or Scully (whichever one isn't pick 1)

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Is Mitch Robinson worth picking up as a stop gap?

No he’s absolutely cooked unfortunately.

Would love a curnow-style chf.

Could’ve had him, and McKay. Wowee, with Weitering as well what a draft that was for Carlton…

Was keen on francis-curnow.
We had too many eggs in the daniher basket and now its the wright basket.

Might actually be the haul to end them all
