I thought veterens were paid more thank 7 or 8 hundred thousand dollars?
I'd still think it'd be closer to 250-300k. Surely not 350k.Yep. Except Nahas got an extension at the end of 2011 after he averaged 20 touches and kicked 35 goals, and played well in the middle - so $350k is around the mark.
correct! only change would be if we brought in a DFAOut: White, McGuane, Nahas, Derickx, Tuck, Verrier, Lonergan
In: pick 12, 50, 68, Hampson and 3 PSD/rookie picks
Correct?

Thought you guys had a steal in Lonergan last year. Don't know what happened to this bloke..
Correct me if i'm wrong, but do we have a bit of $$$ lying around now?
These are only guesses, as I have no clue about current contracts but:
McGuane - $350k
Nahas - $350k
Derickx - $200k
White - $350k
Tuck - $300k
That's roughly $1.5 million spare in the salary. Hampson is on about $250k, Pettard will be offered a new contract on about $300k... That still leaves about $1 million in the salary cap.
If that's correct, perhaps we're getting ready to make a move for a high-profile F.A next year.
I rated derickx, it looked to me like he was a good young ruckman on the up (apart from injuries) but obviously Hardwick doesnt think so, anyone think he is worth a punt as a rookie?

the thing is, only half the salary is in the official cap.
so, it is in the interests of the team, mostly teams in the top 6 who top out their cap every year, to pay luke hodge and sam mitchell 1.2 mill each, and only half goes in the cap.
what will happen is, mitchell/hodge, will sign a contract, from years, 7,8,9,10,11 for 4 million. and they will get 500k,550k,600k, then in year 10 1.15mill, and 1.2mill, and in those 4th and 5th years, they only count for 575k and 600k in the cap.
are you allowed to have two veterans? or just one?
does not really work for a good solid champion like brad sewell at 500k for his long term market value.
My guess is:
Pick 12: Player... duh
Pick 50: Player
Pick 68: Ricky Petterd (Rookie Elevation)
Delisted Free Agent: Matt Thomas (as much as I don't like it, will probably happen now that Sam Lonergan is gone along with Tucky)
2 rookies
Done.
No, ten years of service to a single club.
Newman
Foley
Jackson
We will get ~$112,000 per player next season.
Matt has been offered a rookie spot on our list, and the Giants have offered him a senior list spot. With family in Melbourne I expect that he'll take the rookie spot offered at Richmond and bust his gut waiting for an opportunity.
They got rid of counting half the salary towards the cap. Now its 112k saving and you can have as many veterans as you like so as long as they have played 10 seasons.
