Wow, Murphy, that’s harsh . I’d try and develop him as a defender in the Brown mould , as he’s no forward . Also , whilst we have O’Brien , we need a Murphy *Douglas

I'd keep Jacobs for another year as backup, assuming he's willing to play mostly SANFL for minimal $. I'd also be keeping Hartigan - he's certainly not going to be All Australian or anything, but we have so little KPD depth that we can't really afford to push him out. I'd certainly like to see somebody better step into that spot and relegate Hartigan to depth in the SANFL side, but I wouldn't want him out of the club at this point in time.
Murphy won't be moved on as has a new deal, but IMO he won't be a quality small forward.Wow, Murphy, that’s harsh . I’d try and develop him as a defender in the Brown mould , as he’s no forward . Also , whilst we have O’Brien , we need a Murphy *

My how things change.While teams are still putting in a heap of work into curtailing Eddie, and they are, it’s imperative we keep him. He only has to touch the ball every now and then and things turn to gold. Hasn’t kicked anywhere near the goals of his best years but still serviceable and ignites the team with his smarts and impossible goals. We let him go, I’m done.
But we still have to call it when he’s cooked, and talk that he is cooked is utter rubbish...though it’s coming.
So important to keep him involved with the club. Just hope he pulls the pin before the Thommo stage.
I don’t think we are “shipping Eddie off” I think it’s his decisionEddie Betts has been a magnificent player and human for our football club both on and off the field. He’s still kicked 36 goals this year (yes I know 12 of them have come in 2 games vs GCS) which is still better than most small forwards going around (only Charlie Cameron and Alex Sexton have kicked more) in a year where the delivery into the forward line in 2019 has been IMO very average.
Culturally I feel like it’ll be a bad move if the AFC ship Eddie off a year before the end of his contract.
There’s a lot more issues the AFC needs to sort out before you even get to Eddie Betts.

It's not just a footy decision for him, we aren't shipping him off.If the Crows are happy for Eddie to look elsewhere, then we certainly are shipping him off.
Completely agree, I don’t mind the club paying some of his salary if it gets us either pick 41 or 46, but if we’re only getting pick 80 or whatever it is then no way should we give him another cent of his contract!If Betts is keen to go and Carlton are keen to get him, we shouldnt be paying him any salary in 2020 or 2021.
I can accept, accepting any late pick for Betts, but the condition must be surely that we dont pay any of his salary.
Just ridiculous.

I think we should just agree to whatever useless pick Carlton offer us then when we walk into AFL house to sign/lodge paperwork we can tell SOS we want pick 46 or they pay his whole salary.
We just need to move from him as painlessly as possible
We’ll accept any pick but whatever Carlton pays him is what he gets paid
So you agree to pay both Betts and Jenkins ?I'd be comfortable with paying Betts some salary next season. It's not going to be easy to meet that salary cap floor with how much we're losing, and I'd prefer to avoid the trap where that money is put into a very average player here out of nessecity.
So you agree to pay both Betts and Jenkins ?
Lets say Jnkins is on $600K .....we agree to pay $200K of that .....Jenkins then agree's to cut his salary with the new club to $400K ...so we end up paying 50% instead of 30%

If the contracts were decently short (say expiring 2021), yeah I'd be comfortable with it. It pushes us closer to the salary cap floor which is where we should be sitting for the next 2 years.
Getting to that floor without overpaying average players has to be the goal here.
We won’t over pay, we’ll front load
