Play Nice Dustin Martin to North | 31/8: DM signed at RFC for 1.3m/7yrs

[The Filth Wizard]

Do your other sources include soccer insiders saying Dusty is staying?

He doesn't go here any more.

 

[kangaspurs]

i think that it was kangaspurs who estimated, early in the season, that with Wells, Dal Santo (he estimated salaries of circa $600k each), Harvey and Petrie (estimated salaries between $400k and $500k), Firrito (around $200k) and Nahas, Mckenzie, Tippett and Ray (salaries around $100K). We also shed Aaron Black, These figures are obviously guesses, but nonetheless, an overall annual salary cap saving, of $2.6 to $3 million, seems plausible.

The second factor in our favour is that this has already happened. Presumably, the club has been wise enough to front end current contracts with the money saved. Assuming that this has happened, we have a huge advantage over the other teams who may be shedding senior players this year. This money saved, for example, would be sufficient to offer Big Ben a three year contract extension for $800k per annum, with a fair amount left over.

There are two more factors in play. These estimates are 2016 salaries, and the cap has since increased by 20%. We're also likely to shed one or more mid to high cost players this year.

Hence the take away message is that, whatever the club bids for Kelly and Martin, should be affordable, and leave us scope to increase the pay of our younger players as their contracts roll over. I believe that here, at least, we can trust that the club knows what it's doing.

Definitely not me; I struggle to count past 10, but good, logical, sensible post nonetheless. That all seems perfectly plausible.

If anyone here has been trolling on SEN today....good work.

"Hey, hey guys! You should see what I posted on the North thread! I'm a winner!"

I see very similar material on your board. Let's not either side paint themselves out to be paragons of virtue, it just ain't true.

No one invited you in here to play cop.

Sam Mclure on Age Real Footy Podcast says he reckons Dust bin is gone, one foot out the door already at the tigers. Says he thinks if he hasn't signed by now he won't at all.

This bloke..

It IS happenning

 

[Kimbo]

The club know what they're doing in terms of cap. If opposition supporters want to think we are digging a grave; they're being naive. They have a plan and that plan would no doubtfully be at least 5 years. All players on our list currently will be accounted for. Ie Ben Brown, Wood's next contract, Jy's next contract and so on.

Nah, I reckon Joyce scribbled a few figures on the back of a napkin at the Board's pre-meeting drinks, then passed it around the table, just to give the Board the general vibe of what they had in mind.

The Board members had had a few by then, and it was the last item on the agenda, so they just nodded and mumbled their 'okay's before hurriedly catching cabs home.

He's on the ball that one. Was he the first to note that players who put off contract talks until the end of the year are usually gone?

yes it does seem like a fairly captain obvious comment by him. just thought it was worth a mention though

If ITS HAPPENING, HAPPENS.

Would that mean they would still have a better midfield than us?

Elton John's Wig is made of bum fluff. And not his own.

Supposedly.

Nobody will have a better midfield then us next year.

Don't ask rhetorical questions

Reason they won against us was due to Dustin. If he was in our team that night we would of won by 10 goals.

All team stuff aside, can I just pass on my compliments re the Film posters and Gifs, very good. If they were about anyone else I might even use the word excellent. Good stuff.

If you're complimenting them then our work isn't good enough

had the very horrible thought of Sir Elton smearing glue on his face prior to a night out

 

[rickety]

then the even worserer thought of it not being glue!

not the content, the quality. The content is no good. No good at all.

Not sue I explained myself very well.......I was meaning the thread on the polls board that has been ongoing for years when they could not beat us but they insisted they had more top end talent therefore another poll we lost even though we never lost to them.
