They won't keep all of Naughton, JUH and Darcy long term. It's the KPFs who get the long term big money offers and one of them will be a deal too much they can't match.
Bont will also cost them a lot but probably stay as club captain.

Darcy is a 3rd generation Bulldog.
Naughton's contracted for 8 years.
JUH has been at the club as an NGA since he was 14.
Bont's a reasonable chance to stay, I'd think.
But thanks for your insights - you've been a big help

I've always thought of Naughton as a ruckman.
I'm sure they'll all take massive paycuts to stay. Who do you think slips out or you going to pay all those 4 a million plus a year?Darcy is a 3rd generation Bulldog.

Bont won't leave agree but to keep those 3 KPPs considering the offers they will get, salary cap wise that's a lot of coin tied up.
Maybe it's the flow on effect and someone else slips out.

It will be Smith and maybe English who leave.
Smith replaceable, English a star but not the most vital position on the ground.
Dogs need to keep their KPP’s together.
Especially when u considered it’s a consistently mid table finishing list at that

John Ralph just said he has been offered 11 - 12 year deals from rival clubs. Whoa.

It just shows you how much the cap has gone up. 30% is massive.
11-12 years is just ridiculous to me. I am fine although nervous about the 6-7 year deals but 10+ is just wild.
Careers get cut short all the time, who knows what a player will be like in 5-6 years but bloody 12? You could end up with like 5 years of essentially dead cap.

Buddy deal seemed to work okay although, Franklin had won 2 premierships & was an established superstar.
I can't say JUH is comparable although he is potentially a rising superstar, to me his game looks to be always improving looks stronger and is pretty agile moves really well for a big guy.
Clubs more & more desperate for quality key forwards, that's why the deals seem over the top their hard to get & don't always come around in every draft.
Based on current output he's not worth a million a season. And I certainly wouldn't pay that much on "potential ceiling".
Cost of living has skewed everything upwards - petrol, bread, milk, fruit, sport players!!

Ralphy would know about as much as what the average supporter does. Hence his use of the words "understand" and "rival." Another BOG average journalist who gets paid to stretch the truth.
He's the most promising key forward in the game, he's worth that and more. He's a set and build your side around KPF.
Also with the new CBA a million a year ain't what it was. Players have to buy bread too.

It almost went sideways. In 2015 Buddy withdrew himself from football right before the finals with depression. He came back in 2016, but at the time there was speculation he would never play again.
Been Reported that English is likely Re-signing with the club
