Aaron Francis is a UFA

Hi Aaron

 

[BRL121]

Aaron Francis is a UFA

And.......?

 

[Scorpus]

And.......?

sucks

 

[spenze]

And.......?

If we could get him and Tim Broomhead in, we'd have some decent depth

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

ROB is on $550k. This was covered in the Herald Sun's top salaries list.

At the time he signed last time, ROB was a top 3 earner at AFC.

Salary cap has since gone up significantly & we have brought in plenty of players on more money.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Call me the oracle

Captain obvious lol.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

If we could get him and Tim Broomhead in, we'd have some decent depth

Maybe see what Ben Kennedy is up to?

 

[adelaidecrows]

And.......?

we might be able to get him cheap as our next Sanfl captain.

If NWM stays at St.Kilda
They will be tying up big $$ just with TDK and NWM

Strike while the chance is there, Phillipou

As a flanker or a midfielder? If it's the later, has he shown that he can perform in the midfield at this level?

Whose position will he take? Maybe Taylor?

 

[Amacca 23]

I think Butters will go this year but regardless you need to move past this theory that they can't get a deal done. It will get done. He would of already chosen where he is going, seems more likely to be Port.

They have no first round pick this year they cant trade next years first and they have f/s and nga cochrane next year who people think will be top 5 so how are they going to do all this without 1st rounders ?

 

[rabidcrow]

A draft pick of 16 is a significantly better starting point of 26...

It is better. But a decent role player can fill the gap. Online generally we see comments that they can’t get it done now that Bergman has resigned and Butters likely to stay for 2026 at least. Just highlighting the gap isn’t very big - particularly if teams are now projecting us to finish above Port over the next couple years

 

[steve9798]

Given he has shown nothing at this level as a midfielder I wouldn't go near him. A 1st round pick for an injury riddled flanker, no thanks.

 

[1970crow]

Makes way more sense to be specific selections

But how are clubs 'gaming the system'. Are they seriously suggesting that Eagles could have won more games and finished higher, but because they know Oscar is heading off as a free agent, they've decided to tank so that their compo is better? That's about as stupid a view as available.

Such a BS system that is going to gift them Cochrane.

that would be a backended portion, surprised it's actually not lower in the final year of his extension. But as a club B&F when he extended, there's little doubt that he would have been around the $750k mark per year.

 

[MrBarry]

I'm not convinced of that - does he really want to join one middling team for another middling team?

ROB extended between our spoon in 2020 and 2021. His contract would have been frontloaded quite considerably. The only way that we hadn't paid down a heap of his contract prior to this year would be if we had totally botched our salary cap. And I highly doubt we managed to do that to the extent required.

 

[Redline]

I think Ah Chee would still be a very nice 7th forward in our setup. Gives us further best 22 depth in the case of an injury, as he’d be more productive than Taylor or Pedlar

Proven big game performer, too. I’d give him four years, takes him to 31 as he’s a late year birthday

All good points. I just think our list management is so important in the next few years. I dont want to end up like Carlton or Port with a bunch of good role players on long contracts as we try to fill that missing piece.

So many clubs think they will be challenging for the next five to seven years but it doesn't always work out that way.

I take your point maybe we go all in and worry about that later, he certainly improves our team if he maintains his current output.

 

[skittlebrew]

Maybe Taylor? Lmao. His ceiling is infinitely higher.

 

[spenze]

Matt Scharenbergs knees should be ridgey didge by now

 

[spenze]

As a flanker or a midfielder? If it's the later, has he shown that he can perform in the midfield at this level?

Honestly, I'd spend good money finding out. He has played some good games in the middle just been injured at bad times

 

[Mutineer]

Given he has shown nothing at this level as a midfielder I wouldn't go near him. A 1st round pick for an injury riddled flanker, no thanks.

Yeah well I'd be completely the opposite, I'd be going at him a million mph if there was even a slight chance to nab him.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Whose position will he take? Maybe Taylor?

If he play as a medium marking forward, then Tex.

 

[rabidcrow]

Has shown enough. Will be a gun. We went early with our offers to Dawson and Rankine - before they truly broke out
Phillipou the same, 5 of his last 7 matches he has had over 20 (up to 26) touches, twice had 9 tackles - and hit the scoreboard in 5 games

Get him fit under Burgo and he would be the last piece we need
