Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

Denver Grainger Barass was taken with the same pick a year later..

Also Carlton's FB was pick 1, I think.

Take with pinch of salt: Arlo Draper on the radar

Good source?

Interesting, given that we passed on him in his draft year

Unsure on source, hence pinch of salt

 

[ams4crows]

So Schoenberg contract announcement was today 2 more years for him

Correct, just pointing it out 12 months on from McAsey another KPD prospect went at exactly the same pick...#6

I don't think I would care so much if McAsey actually became a high level key defender prospect.
Moral of the story is if you're going to use a first Rounder on one you'd better be 100 percent sure they become a good one.

There's a few things that have come out to suggest Haggis should have been more wary and been more conservative.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

He was with me .....didn't see too many criticising McAsey in his 1st year ....and then somehow linked his mental health issues with a lack of talent

He would have been that DEF we need

I’ve looked back at my posting history at the time - I was happy to take a shopping list of others (some of which are also busts) before going McAsey. To my eye he never had much pre-draft of anything for us to be excited about. For first round picks you want to at least look at their highlights and have a wow moment or two where you think the player might have some point of difference.

Once he was selected I was then supportive of wanting him to succeed.

Clearly seen enough of Sid to start making plans to tempt him home in 2025/26!

(Arlo an OK but not elite option himself)

Rumor is ....a Club is prepared to offer H.Himmelberg $900K per year

Given the figure mentioned for Redman was $800K .....would you pay an additional $100K for Himmelberg

maybe that’s a dual package Harry and Elliot

If we could find 900k for HH, can we then rip that contract up and instead find a mid who wants a million?

Even if we have to wait another year.

I do believe Premiership teams need a great DEF ....I believe that zone is of greater need

If you look at the list: Nank, Taylor, Shoenberg, and Berry developing in the SANFL ....I don't believe we're in a pickle in the MIDS

Himmelberg is worth around 650-700 imo. Redman isn't worth 800k.

 

[MsTopG]

Young Welsh is looking good for father son next year. Kicked 5 on the weekend against Vic country.

when is the new CBA coming in? - $900K might be the new $700K so to speak

Correct

I do agree there is some untapped midfield potential in the squad and that needs to be explored. In particular Berry and Taylor.

The point though is, if we have almost a million to lure a player, we could get a pretty good mid for that.

If one of the guys already on the list gets shunted back in the queue/leaves because they are behind a million dollar mid, not the worst problem.

 

[rabidcrow]

Twomey suggested a 20-25% increase in cap so $700k becomes $840-875k

Average salary goes from $406k to $480-500k

Need to keep these figures in mind when reading the numbers that are thrown around in the press

Question is; a MID has to be available ......if you look at PORTS success, it off the back of the midfield pace of Butters & Rozee .....IMO we can match with Rankine & Rachelle .....Berry can be the big bodied mid

Got any names ?

V/Good player. Too much in what he offers. $800k about right. Redmond $700-800k about right to get him. When you start paying too much for recruits it starts getting players restless and chasing money elsewhere.

That's the ****ing hard part.

The absolute elite ones are already on fat contracts.

Would need to be a younger guy who is not yet on this type of money and that comes with the obvious risks.

Who can we get from GC and their high draft pick as steak knives as a sweeter?

Would be nice.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Correct

You really are a strange cat. The other day you’re bemoaning people relying on journos knowing player offers, now you’re quoting figures.

Now you’ve acknowledged that $900k is really like $700k previously because of the CBA, but you’ve used us not giving Lever $700k as reason why we shouldn’t give it to Redman, 6 years later.

And to cap it off you said we should spend that money on a mid, I asked you which mids were available. Now you’re asking the same question.

3 inconsistent points of view in the one topic, you’re a mind bender.
