A Pies mate of mine asked if I would do this trade,

Dogs 1st pick + Michael Talia to GWS for Josh Kelly?

I said absolutely, but not sure it would be enough.
Josh Kelly would be quality but trade for needs, draft for talent.
I could see us trading tall but not trading short

Josh Kelly makes Zaharakis look like Libba. He's as soft as they come.

Edit: too harsh. I've become Mattdougie.

Hogan's next contract will be over 1 million dollars a year. At Melbourne or somewhere else.
Considering he's proven himself as a gun at AFL level, it's certainly a lot more sensible than the Boyd deal.

Whether or not you agree with the Boyd deal is up for discussion, however he wasn't a bargain then, and he's not a bargain now. He will only ever be known as a bargain if he comes good and starts scoring 50 goals a year consistently.

Let us know when Hogan kicks 50 in a season will you?

Can you explain how the new TV deal will effect the cap? How much do you reckon it will change?
Cap number is a % of overall revenue that the game grosses (around 25% off the top of my head), which includes TV rights, sponsorships, licensing (merchandise) and tickets (some others as well, but they're the main ones).

The annual TV rights cash is about an 80% increase on the current TV deal. It is also the main revenue stream out of all the categories I listed above. If all the revenue categories increased at the same rate as the TV deal, the cap would increase by around that 80%. It's unlikely the other streams would increase at the same rate (ticketing for example won't nearly double in price), but conservatively I'd say the cap will increase at least 50% shortly into the new TV deal (afl may not jump the cap immediately, and may increase it over the period of a couple of years to get to the overall increase in time).

Long winded way of saying the cap will go up a shedload. Unless boyd's deal has a clause granting him an automatic increase in line with the cap increase (which it may), he won't be the highest paid player at the club by the end of his deal.

Would love to poach Kade Kolodjashnij from the SUNS, quietly having a good second year in a struggling side. Could become a real weapon. Would have to give up a fair bit for him you'd think, though...

Also, probably no real chance the SUNS would trade him anyway, unless he wanted out.

I think they said on 7 news that the average player wage was expected to jump from something like 380k to 550k.

If we are heavily front loading Boyd's contract over the next 2 years, 550k is close to what he will be on for the remaining 4.
