This is quite possibly the reason we aren't matching the big money offers from the Dogs etc. Maybe we figure Doedee or Keith takes his spot and we get to get a first rounder or so for him and we use the spare money for a good midfielder. I'd actually be for that scenario but I don't want to lose the Gov as well.
Better get them signed up pronto because both are out of contract at season's end aren't they.

I'm sure the club would explore this but let's say the cap has risen $2m this year alone and we have not included the rise in current contracts. Why don't we pay jake $1.2m this year (let's say he is on $300k currently) then pay him $600 for the next 5. Essentially it's $800k for 5 years

Would you care if either left if we won the flag this year? As much as it sucks losing quality players, it's had no impact on our ladder position for the past few years.
Of course it has. If we had danger last year im sure we go deeper in finals! Ridiculous comment.

Because it's still 800k.
I think the issue will be home much we are prepared to pay him, not how we pay him.

I heard that it's part of Lever's deal with 5aa to not announce his new deal with Adelaide until after the boring pre-finals bye week. Need to keep people listening all season. He actually re-signed with us 6 months ago.

And Dear can replace JJ, and Galluci can replace Sloane, and Hunter can replace Sauce, and Wigg can replace Laird, and its shouldnt hurt our side at all.

Its time to think outside the box. The fans have to do a Costa here. Every crows fan needs to start buying their make up or their partners and daughters make up from Jakes wife. 60,000 fans buy $50 a year in make up (assuming 20% profit) and thats $600,000 a year.
This is a great idea

I've met some people on here

More than $50 of make up is required

We may need a warehouse in Gillman

OK - sounds like a great idea.

$1.2M + $600K + $600K + $600K + $600K + $600K = $4.2M / 6 = $700K per year

or

$1.2M + $600K + $600K + $600K + $600K = $3.6M / 5 = $720K per year

We need you on the list management team. We'll be getting great deals everywhere .. :) Let's do it .. :thumbsu:

Who thinks he's staying?

We've heard this all before, it's a well-worn path, all signs point towards going, stalling for time is a dead giveaway, if he hasn't signed by now blah blah blah.

There's something just a bit off with this one. Can't quite enunciate why.

Go and look at the redo 2014 draft threads and you will see alot of people have Gov going in the top 10 now. Of course he is worth a first. He is worth more than Cam McCarthy who had a year off with mental health issues.
I love Gov. Love him. Want him to stay. Not going to land a first. Redo drafts and mental health? Wtf are you trying to put those into the equation? It quite simple pick 43. Three yrs on our list two major injuries, under 30 games under 40 goals. Be realistic.

Shouldnt be too hard to understand.
He is worth a first rounder everyday of the week.
Thank god you're not our list manager. Is your last name Noble?

Freo are so desperate for an exciting forward they'd pay 2 firsts for Gov.
