McMahon confident he will survive Tigerland cull (Age)

[Francois Jackson]

Jordie turned the ball over a bit yesterday but so did heaps of his teamates. Jordie's foot skills actually stood out at times yesterday! Not a huge fan but a contract is a contract and believe in honouring it as that is what honest people do!

rubbish.

He doesn't deserve it and besides its a business my friend.

if you want to honour contracts maybe you should try watching netball or something.

Legally you have to honour contracts (in terms of monies agreed). If you don't want to honour a contract then either be prepared to be sued or better still don't agree to one in the first place.

There's only two options - keep him and play him in the VFL next year or pay him out of his contract. No other club will trade for him let alone take on a $300k contract. Not the only player either who we'll be stuck with next year thanks to giving fringe players multi-year contracts  .

I suppose you can pay part of the contract as part of a trade and then it forms part of next years salary cap.

I would think if we cull the list and bring in kids then we probably wont be paying close to 100% anyway so it would hurt us too much and if it frees up a spot then it's worth considering it 

That's true WP but even if we paid them I'd still doubt anyone else would want McMahon  . He was playing VFL with the Doggies and he's playing VFL for us so he would just be classed as a list clogger even if he arrived for free at a third AFL club.

Don't bet your house on it Jordy.

A side like the Demons may have trouble reaching the 92.5% of the salary cap with all the kids they have on their list and their lack of superstars.

Although I don't like doing favours for other teams, we'd be helping Melbourne out by trading them McMahon and letting them pick up his contract.

I do watch netball and you look great in a skirt

from blaisee on BF:

interestingly even though the trade period is over, and a new home was not found for Jordan Mcmahon , it would be wrong to assume that the RFC will be his place of employment in 2010, or indeed that he will have a place of employment in the AFL in 2010

Another reason for being able to trade future picks.

Imagine if we had a deal w St Kilda where we picked up 30-40% of his contract and on the basis of how many games he played next season picked up a future pick.

< 5 games = 2010 6th round
6-10 games = 5th round
11-15 games = 4th round
Otherwise 3rd round

Adrian Anderson said yesterday that trading future picks isn't on the AFL's short term agenda.
