We actually have shed a fair few players the last 3 yearsI reckon most clubs could handle an extra player on 800k provided they backend the deal.
Selwood is just entering the age group the cats are after and he wont retire for another 2 yearsYour club wouldn’t be doing it’s job if it wasn’t asking the question of players like Kelly, Cripps and Merrett etc. Wouldnt be shocked if Joel Selwood is still on 800k and retires at the end of the year and Geelong just go in on a guy who’ll give us another 6 years in the top half of the ladder. They’re clearly all in for the now.
As opposed to all the clubs offering him a contract on Twitter?Wouldn't be surprised if Melbourne are doing something behind the scenes.
He already has enough cash he has earned in the last 7/8 yearsIf he has half a brain he takes the 8m/8yr deal at the giants. It's just too good to pass up. Filthy rich playing footy. Easy money
If a club like Richmond or west coast can fit in a Kelly or Cripps that’s just good cap managementIf he goes to Richmond and they win the flag you would have to think that would be a breaking point for many people
I am not going to claim to know the Tigers cap situation so they may have cap space who knows, but outside of Rance and Ellis most of those guys would not have been on a lot of coin. So those list spots being replaced by draftees would have freed up minimal cap space.We actually have shed a fair few players the last 3 years
Conca , Ellis , Markov , Higgins , Rance ,C.Ellis and dont think we would actually need to backend the deal as Houli will also most likely retire
We have really only added Lynch.
Its only this year that the younger players like Balta , Bolton , Baker , Graham will be earning better $$$ but have had the cash from the other players with some obviously getting distributed.
Im thinking if we were into Crouch at $550k-$600k then with the retirement of Houli and the departures this really wouldnt be too hard
Remind me what Zac Williams got?
If he wants out, he’ll get offered a stack. He’s a quality player even though he hasn’t reached the level most thought he would.
6x ~$900k I think.
Exactly, and people think Kelly won't get paid if he leaves.
He'll get offered a stack
If we get kelly goodbye Polecid happily pay him what he wants as long as don’t have to give up our first this or next year for him.
Kelly on one wing and Polec on the other is a good start.
Corey Ellis & Jack Higgins were both 1st round draft picks that were into their 2nd contracts. As with most clubs these 1st round picks get significant increases after their initial 2 years. Corey Ellis would easily have been on 300k and Higgins having played good footy in his first 2 years even more but $700k for both would be around the mark. It sounds crazy in hindsight but think of say Will Day when he comes to renew now he would be on similar and Higgins was very good in his 2 yearsI am not going to claim to know the Tigers cap situation so they may have cap space who knows, but outside of Rance and Ellis most of those guys would not have been on a lot of coin.

If we get kelly goodbye Polec
Gws can take Polec for free for not matching our offer to Kelly
Kelly one wing stevo the other
Yea but it doesn’t free up 300k because that lost spot still needs to be replaced.Corey Ellis & Jack Higgins were both 1st round draft picks that were into their 2nd contracts.
