List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[DD#23]

OK, just a hypothetical, what do people feel the ceiling salary wise per annum Adelaide should be prepared to go to secure both Lever and McGovern's signature on say a 3 year contract....keeping in mind we may be making a play for a proven mid like Bryce Gibbs or up and coming young mid like Jacob Hopper at year's end.

Mine would be 450 - 500K for McGovern and 650 - 750K for Lever.

I'd go to 550K for the Gov, 750K for Lever sounds about right.

Educated guess? Or whisper?

Alright maybe not, just feeling depressed and thinking he may as well be.

And I wanted to get a "bookmark it" in at least once.

If Tex needed to restructure his deal to help us re-sign others - what does that say about our so called war chest

 

[Scorpus]

Edit: don't tell the Essendon board but what about Francis straight swap

No

 

[Deaneus!]

They're both staying

I wouldn't know but i thought i'd make something up that was wildly positive just for kicks

It could be that he restructured his contract so that Lever and Gov could be re-signed and still leave the 'war chest' there to target a midfielder. If we don't get that midfielder then Tex gets his money back. However, as you are implying, it is likely that there is no war chest.

 

[Teflon Dons]

No

With a swap of '17 and '18 firsts to make a play for Fogarty?

it says Tex is OK with spinning the truth if it helps us sign Gov and Lever.

 

[Pugsley]

are we getting Gawn as well?

Gee, that midfield is looking good next year
Gawn, Sloane, Martin, Fyfe, Gibbs

*can you feel it*

The Jackson 5 did.

It may say that it is one part of an overall strategy which includes having enough cap set aside to bring in another midfielder

Don has gone on record to say that we are in the market for a mid

500-550 for Gov, he makes us a way better team

it does say, that there was no ****ing warchest. No Gibbs + CBA 20% and still we needed to restructure Tex?

warchest my ass

we still have gibbs (and lyons) cash left over. that should be enough for a mid, without even mentioning the CBA.

this re-structure is probably a good thing, but it also makes it clear that we are tighter cap wise than some claimed

Not at all. It just means Tex is doing the right thing. 1.5 mill could be set aside for Gibbs +++

Lying to treammates? Yeah great way to build the trust. He isnt lying we have no warchest

A bit melodramatic don't you think?

 

[Combathorse]

With a swap of '17 and '18 firsts to make a play for Fogarty?

Lever will go for a top 5 pick, two firsts or a first and a player. He is one of the best defenders in the comp at 21 and Francis isn't even playing in the ones. Would you take Gallucci and a pick swap for Daniher?

How is what is being suggested by the post I quoted not lying?

Creating one ??

We wouldn't take a paycut purely to keep those 2. There's something else on the go.

Sorry misread your post.

Roos on MMM this morning said Tex has taken a pay cut.

Why would Tex need to take a pay cut when we have over 2 mill in cap space with the CBA.

 

[Elite Crow]

Why else would he take a pay cut unless it was to retain and recruit players?

Maybe we are throwing some monster offers out there, plus paying Lever and Gov more than we originally intended.

Says that we have $2M new cap spare this year & we want to free up future years for other options...
