People would complain we paid too much and would want us to keep all those great players from the Timmy/Blight era.

Like Hayes ? Like hamill. Like g train. Yep probably.

 

[Joffaboy]

So if billings is an after the first round pick do you lose him for say pick 20 because he could easily be after the first round. That’s crazy in my eyes. People need to stop saying first round and saying top 10 or top 20.

Why? If he isn't compo 1 we match. But he is on 750k now and will want that much. 750k gives us band 1

Probably think one Roo couldn’t kick straight. We would finish bottom with 2

He is on 750? Have the club told us that? If that’s the case then he is overpaid even with his form this year. Just out of interest why do people think billings wants to leave. I don’t get it.

 

[Joffaboy]

Billings isn’t Hayes. Not even close. Not even a little.

maybe Nick Dal Santo and for another Roo? You bet I would.

If it was Steele, no, Billings, where do I sign.

Don’t need to match, force a trade because we can.

the one time I can remember where the club would have the whip hand

Yes, was on the club website, did you miss it? [emoji849][emoji849]

How do you magically force a trade if he wants to stay?

I don’t think we force him out. I think he gets an offer that he wants to take.
If he stays we seem to be setting the bar at around 600-650 for top end renewals on our current list.

approx 46th highestpaid player in the league. Salary between 700-750k

Unless we get band 1 it is not worth it.

He is a valuable and has currency. As plugger says band 2 in the 20's would be a terrible result, worse than Crouch ad Adelaide are rebuilding.

If he was offered 600k we would or should match.

[BrutThough]

Unless your North Melbourne - threaten to take him in the draft (assuming they finish last).

it will be 2 first picks.

they will want one to be top 10 Atleast surely. That’s a hell of a lot of currency to find and trade for ANY club.

there also has to be a reason why we are continually linked in the media and why the club haven’t conceded landing him. You would think it’s footy worst kept secret with the way it’s played out currently.

The media can keep linking us to him but I've followed St Kilda long enough to not get my hopes up until the day we actually see him in the jumper.

Restricted free agent. If he gets low balled we talk at the table.

we don’t get a deal we want. Re-sign.

if he desperately wants to leave club needs to pay up at the table.

So if it’s now and he is on the low end he is now getting 651k

 

[stavro#4]

Except for today.

Well no, the part we don’t know is whether we upped Kings 2022 deal.

his manager isn’t an idiot. If McKay is rumoured to be getting offers close to 1m a year, what would a king fetch.

 

[Joffaboy]

Except for today.

Max King getting what is reported is fair. Wouldn't pay Billings 700 to 750k again.

Way overpaid, reckon Bont would be on that.

Sorry I don’t understand

 

[plugger66]

Sorry I don’t understand

The club dropped all wages by 7%

Same article has bont as the 9th highest in the league at 950-1m. Obviously renegotiating again for a his new deal.
