Recommitted Josh Kelly [re-signed]

[Rad Roo]

Majority of our list is very young and in the 19-23 age bracket. Plenty to build on. Next year free agency and another top 6 pick and we're away

The culture is also another major factor. Ther has always been a messianic culture at Cartland lost parkins. Think pagan, think Malthouse, think the quartet of judd, Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer and where it got Carlton? Not even prelim final...

U cannot eat flags but extra coin can, we r talking about million, most don't make this in a lifetime or several. Kelly is one potential injury away retirement at afl luv, at least in my job I can't still b at the top of my game minus a leg or two... plus things happen so quickly, it would take 1 to two years to turn things around very quickly.

He will make very good money whatever he chooses to do. If he stays he will become one of our top paid but we dont destroy team culture putting all the salary cap eggs in one or two baskets.

 

[Drewie11]

Third best player in the comp behind Dangerfield and Martin.

Yeah buddy and rance are pretty average aren't they

Josh has arguably had a better year than both as they've both been down a bit on their historic best.

So you honestly think Kelly is the third best player in the competition???

Depends on the metric being used to determine "best".

Line them all up on a wall with Danger and Martin gone. Who do you choose?

If gws can stay true to a salary structure and not get sucked in like richmond then bravo and hats off.

Yet north don't have a structure, just splash the cash to entice other clubs guns?
Offering in excess of $1.5mill each for Kelly and Martin, Goldstein in excess of $900kp.a.
Funny salary structure north have going. Pay a quarter of the salary cap on 3 players, I'm sure that will go down well with the other 35+ players.
The old saying "you pay peanuts...." or the alternative is players will start to look elsewhere.
I wonder how your salary structure will go when Ben Browns contract is up for renewal next year and he's offered big money from other clubs. No doubt he'll be getting a hefty pay rise, similar to Goldstein a year or 2 ago when north had to ward off interest from other clubs.

North's recruitment strategy?

Sorry to digress on JK thread, but Ben Brown would be worth at least Goldstein's coin if not more. Running 4th in Coleman and 3rd in marks I50 this season. To put his efforts into perspective, there is only Tom Lynch (GC) other than brown from clubs in bottom half of ladder, who feature in the top 20 of Coleman. Next one will be the biggest contract of his career. If Brown produces anything close to his 2017 season next year, other clubs will queue up.

I'd be surprised if the salary/list managers would leak that information to some random bloke, your just speculating like the rest of us.

We only go after big fish.

 

[Suma Magic]

He is amazing. Given his age I'd take him over any player in the comp.

No shit. Just going by what's been in the media. A lot of north posters seem to feel it's legit as well.
Were the figures that your board authorised correctly quoted?

Most do. You might need to check the bait.
If Kelly and Martin stay put you might end up with a guppy or 2. Pittard or Zaka maybe.

Didn't you claim you knew salary/list management people at north? I doubt they even tell the media, that's why they throw "believed to be"

Goldy will be traded anyway so there is more space, not to mention we banked space this season that we can use and even then the ability to front/back load contracts.

I'm not saying we are a lock to get both of these guys, but we definitely will be able to manage it from a cap standpoint

Where did I claim I knew LM at north? You're just telling porkies.

I never said you couldn't manage it. You need to read the quote I was responding to instead of jumping in halfcocked.
I was responding to a post regarding "salary cap structure"and "not getting sucked in" to overpaying a player/s at the expense of the rest of the list.
Actually it was in response to the usual troll attempt by a alt account "newbie" who has history

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Apologies I thought someone mentioned that you claimed it, my mistake

Much in the same way that was providing information as to why if we did get both there is a process in place

I might have to start supporting gws if we ended up with those two.
