Traded Taylor Adams [traded to Sydney for pick #33]

[WillHayward]

Warner and Gulden will have some massive contracts coming their way. But you would think they would be in a good place cap wise.

Parker, Heeney and Mills would be largest contracts (all 800k+ surely?) I would guess, but I don't know.

Yep that all sounds about right .

Parker and Rampe are at the end of the road.

 

[Millky95]

Of the recruits I would argue the only player that will make Sydney significantly better is Grundy. Adams wont improve them by the same margin.

Will replace 2022 version of Mills

They all signed long contracts some time ago. You would assume that reduces the average amount

Rampe would've been on decent money so he would've got a big reduction

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He also cannot kick to save himself.

He cant but the scg is one of the better grounds to hide that on.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

We tried to get Matt Crouch, he resigned with Adelaide

Lyons would be gettable for not much.

 

[EBERT THE KING]

True.

Dont get me wrong, Sydney are probably the benchmark (with Geelong and Brisbane) at getting deals done for good players, and maximising their output.

On this one however, im just not sure. Inside mids are everywhere. I get the experience side of things, but i think the Swans are better than this.

Just my opinion.

 

[Swanssince91]

Lyons would be gettable for not much.

Would rather Adams, vice captain of a club.
Has played well in big games, MCG experience

 

[Briar Gold]

Very civilised trade thread

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Rampe would've been on decent money so he would've got a big reduction

That's right, Ramps was on around $900k this year in the last year if his heavily backended deal. The new deal is back down to say $500k?

We gave him 2 years so you'd hope it's less

how do you know this? My thoughts are a lot less

 

[Swanssince91]

He would've been on good money but 900 is extreme

Report in the HSun back in July - Where does your club spend its salary cap

Isaac Heeney $850,000-$950,000, 27, Forward
Dane Rampe $800,000-$900,000, 33, Defender
Callum Mills $700,000-$800,000, 26, Defender
Tom McCartin $650,000-$750,000, 23, Defender
Luke Parker $650,000-$750,000, 30, Midfielder
Lance Franklin $550,000-$650,000, 36, Forward

He kept moving his money back and back to fit others' salaries in other years (being Ramps), but since 2023 was the final year of that deal, we had to pay him the total amount due.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

He would've been on good money but 900 is extreme

He/we kept moving his money back to accommodate other deals, but had to pay it all this year as his current deal was up.

I presume they may have limited access to topline numbers from the AFL?

That is more for mccartin than I would have guessed. Otherwise looks pretty reasonable. Maybe Parker was front ended (because that looks a bit light to me) and Rampe back ended (for similar reasons).

Parker got an extra year, that's why it might seem low

Swans wanted to give Parker three years.. Parker argued and won.. and got his four years.
Maybe the 4 years brought everything down a bit?

Cant access the HSun.
Do you know what they say about Adams?

Adams was reported in same article as $600,000-$700,000 this year, not sure what may have been moved or what he was owed for 2024, eg. if $200k was moved to 2024, that'd be up to $800/900k.

Reckon we'll get a read on that based on what picks get used in the trade

You would think they wouldnt mind moving some to pay off the Daicos contract

 

[WillHayward]

Pies get to rip up the deal to pay his contract if Melbourne trades him, as their deal was with Melbourne not Grundy.

Means Sydney will either be paying that $900k a year or Melbourne will be paying some of it.

Via Channel 7 -
Grundy was on around $900,000 a year at Collingwood and the Pies agreed to pay a portion of his contract while he was at Melbourne - somewhere between $250-300,000. But Browne says, under the contract terms, that agreement exists only between Collingwood and Melbourne.

I've heard many sources say the deal stands.

But either way, so what?
.
If Collingwood tear up his deal then he's not on any deal and we can offer whatever we like.

Who says we have to pay him 800?

Nothing compelling Sydney to pay him 800.

So not sure that channel 7 is accurate

And even if it is, so what? Maybe he's prepared to take less to get a game and not play at Casey.

Zero evidence or suggestions that. Sydney will be paying 800.
