2017 AFL Season

The bigger issues would be keeping some of the younger players they consider to have bright futures, happy enough (if they're out of contract) - Ross, Billings etc.

I think you're right though, you'd imagine they could find up to $400k easily enough for him.

Still, would you half your salary and keep working where you are?

Going to be interesting that's for sure to see how this plays out.

If it's still more than I could get elsewhere, or was enough to make ends meet without need to relocate, then yep for sure.

Whats the ruling these days on testimonials? Once a player is not on an AFL list can they have fundraisers without any funds raised being held against the cap?

I don't think Nick and his family will starve next year if he isn't playing.
He'll be in huge demand by the media.

$400k worth of demand?

[MW]

Agree re. Media.

Ling and Richo out. Hodge and Reiwoldt in.

Not sure TBH
What do they get paid in the media?
Guest speaker roles as well chucked in I'm sure he'll be alright.

How much can players earn these days through 3rd party arrangements signed off by the AFL?

I thought the AFL clamped down on this after the Judd case.

[bennymacca]

If they had someone knocking down the door for his spot ( McCartin ) then wish him well in the future, right now they don't have anyone pushing him out. I'd give him one year, minimal coin and tell him he'll be moved aside mid year if they've got a kid to play.

I don't think they've got a top 4 list at the moment, they need more midfield grunt and a key at either end and Longer hasn't kept his form from last year. They've got no reason to move on Reiwoldt. Right now, in 2018, I think they'd be worse off without him.

Wonder if he would entertain a Scott Thompson style scenario

Its clear he is still in their best team now but they have a lot of young forwards (including high draft pick Josh Battle) who they would wanna get games into

Yeah they did but isn't there still room to earn income through 3rd parties?

Isn't Juddy still on the Visy payroll

Finally some Carlton discussion, might keep you from throwing grenades in the Port thread for a while?

No chance, I can multi task!

Last round of the year do North stink it up against Brisbane to get the #1 pick to give GWS for Kelly?

Reckon Gil will bust them for tanking if they make it too obvious....

They could just let him go into the pre season draft and get him for nothing

[Bum Crack]

They can swap the #1 pick for Motlop

PSD threat is as empty as they come. No club would go down that route

Not if that is the club he wants to end up with.

It is because the club that shafted another like that would be pretty much cut out of any future trading by the other clubs. We already see some clubs now that don't trade with other clubs

Brisbane will be trying everything to get as many wins as possible and will be in front of North before the final round. They need to work on their current culture and cannot afford to tank. The young players they have look very classy and the more wins they get the better it WebEx for their development


Pick 1 or 2 for Kelly, no real difference

[bennymacca]

GWS will want more than pick 1 or 2 for kelly though. And thats where North can say well thats our offer, take it or he goes into the PSD.

PSD will not happen, just a bluff
