I think teams should take the salary dump approach more often.

When you're in the window, pay your 20-25 ranked players that little bit more to keep them if needed, if you hit a squeeze, dont be afraid to offload them for peanuts.

I doubt he'll be more than a future 3rd

Future 3rd rounder looks about right or something in the 40's range this year if freo end up with a pick in that range

Did you back Lyon with Colyer last year? If we don't question club decisions there's really not much point to this board.



Just not sure what Aish's role will be and if it's worth that much over 3 years. Cole, Masten and Hutchings aren't expensive role players, though, so not really pertinent and besides every one would agree that they were the more replaceable bits of a premiership side.
Pretty sure Ross has gone and no I didn't
 
He actually does his best work as an inside mid but Collingwood had too many ahead of him in that position.

Not sure how his inside midfield game goes in the 6/6/6 world though. He’s not really dynamic in any way.

His best position is as a small defender at AFL level
 
Hard to imagine any compensation we get for Aish being worth it.

Crocker/Reid/Dunn/Varcoe/Mayne should all be cleared out before Aish does...

We're already clearing out Wells (500k) + Goldsack (250k) while bringing in probably only Cameron (150-200k?), how are we under so much pressure that we're selling young players at career low price?

Next year Varcoe (250k), Dunn (300k), Reid (200k), Crocker (200k), Mayne (500k) should all be delisted/retired, how is that not enough money to satisfy Moore (extra 500k), Grundy (extra 500k), De Goey (extra 200k)?

Moore + Grundy + De Goey + Cameron + 6 rookies = 1.8 mil

Wells + Goldsack + Varcoe + Dunn + Reid, Crocker + Mayne = 2.2 mil

Obviously all rough figures, but we know most of the higher end contracts (https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...t/news-story/9f9e3bf77c73a3d94ec680d2fdc2f297, Mayne on 500k for instance)

Aish is actually pretty hard at it in terms of being prepared to put himself in harm’s way, I reckon.
Would prefer we held on to him, think he has acquitted himself well enough in a small defender role, which isn’t his primary position, out of necessity. Came straight back in off his injuries, so he wasn’t just a depth player for us.
Disposal not fantastic, not a lot of penetration in his kicking, does miss games.
Not a gamebreaker, not a spud.
Can’t imagine he’ll net much in trade, so if we do flick him, I guess our salary cap situation really is fairly problematic.
 
Freo approached Collingwood about a contracted player, not a slaary cap squeeze or player getting pushed out. Pick 22 seems about right.

I thought he was told he wouldn’t be able to negotiate his next contract till this time next year, because a cap squeeze and he could explore his options.

22 is too much 3rd for cap space

You can extend someone already contracted for next year and boost their salary in 2020 as part of the deal to get it over the line.

Giving away Aish (if he is on $500,000) would allow you to offer a half million dollar signing bonus in 2020 to contract a player for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 without it impacting the cap.
