Gaffs gone backwards at a rate of knots. Would be worth a late 1st round pick at best at the moment, probably worth a early 2nd rounder in reality.
Struggling this season but is a class act. Love Conca, but if he did want to leave then we could do worse than taking Gaff for him. I don't think Conca is going anywhere though.

All the best at your new club, Jack.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Hey Claw,

My understanding of it isn't that we are close to 100% now and can't afford to pay Dusty and Jack what they want now but when others come out of contract in the future we won't be able to pay them. Vlastuin, Conca, Ellis by time they reach their 3rd contracts etc.

All the talk is Lids is on 600k and I think that should be the max ANY of our players get. So Cotch should probably be on 600k. Jack SHOULD get 600k over 3-4 years. Could give him an extra year (5) if that helps him sign for 600k. Dusty is probably a level below them and 500k for 2 years and if he performs over those 2 years as expected he can expect 600k there after.

Ellis and Vlastuin should be signed cheaply in only their 2nd contract. SO they shouldn't be an issue.

Conca and Grimes due to their injuries probably 2 year deals. Grimes about 200-250k. Conca about 300k.

Newy I would think has been paid well over the years. He's a fringe type player now. I think we could sell him the prospect of finals to sign for cheaper. He gets an extra 112k outside the salary cap for being a veteran anyway.

Rance I know you don't rate but he is comfortably best 22 and if we get rid of him we will struggle. Started the year slow but would be in our top 10 players for importance. If we could keep him for 350k we'd be doing well. He'd likely get 400k minimum.

As for Jackson and King you'd like to think they wouldn't ask for much. They're the types that we could clear out to make some space in the cap.

From memory, someone like Grigg came over on about $1mill over 3 years. I think we could get him for under 300 otherwise he is dispensible IMO.

We have been keen on a few FA players as well so I don't think we are battling at all. I think it's all about getting them to sign for unders so we can create a dynasty.

My mail is that we are not at 100% of TPP, haven't been for years :shh

As I posted in the other thread about Ellis, Vlaustin & others re-signing

And BTW for people's info the total salary cap this seaosn is $9.14mil and clubs must pay 95% of it = $8.863mil. 

To hit at that number we'd have a few blokes on bigger money than they probably should be 


Minimum was 92.5% was increased to 95% this season and last years cap was only $8.79mil

and thats why these minimum caps are wrong. how can clubs like Melbourne and Footscray be paying that type of money to their players. The minimum should be down at about 82% of the maximum, 1 percent for every team in the comp.
