In all honesty probably only freed up about 500k. Patty cripps comes of his rookie contract which was 80k this year, so he probably takes up 200-300k of that money. The five players we draft will be on 80k each next year. plus the gws 4 and kerridge will b on between 100k-250k each so not that much freed up.
daisy being on 750 a year for another two years doesn't help either as most people say a club can only afford three players on 700k plus a year

hopefully simo jamo white and armfield leave at the end of next year and we have enough to go after o'meara, prestia or wines.

I'm thinking not.

No doubt there is some money freed up.
We have the abovementioned freed up and we havent broken the bank with Trades.
I'm expecting to load up Murphy Gibbs and Thomas' pay in 2016, to create space for a big signing in 2017 and in 2018, maybe even Jones with a view to drop him at year's end if he doesn't show improvement.

2016 is a development year and if we can have a healthy list and players lift 10% on last year we may surprise everyone with what SOS and Bolton have achieved.

I will not be surprised if we are not bottom 6 next year because of the changes MLG and Trigg have instigated. On the other hand, I'm kind of use to being down the bottom since 2002.

Not necessarily the senior list, but I think he might no longer be Cat B.

Unfortunately he was so bad this years the northern coaching staff didn't know whether to play him attack or defense because he was awful at both ends. Would need to improve significantly to earn another contract. Same with smith and dvr. I'm basing my comments about cutting those 3 on the fact that this far none have shown any attributes required to become good players. Looks like the days of re-signing players based on hope may be gone.

You can have up to 3 Cat B, and they can stay Cat B for 3 years.

For those questioning the Holman delisting, yes he did show some sides but he played in a very poor team and he lacked any real x factor other than being a decent short kick. He would not have played AFL for any other club and he wont be apart of our next premiership list.
If Holman is as good as what people thinks he is he will get re-drafted. How many carlton fans think he will? He wont.

Good de-listings SOS understands what we need on our list and we need to trust him he has seen alot of talent and if he though Holman didnt have what it takes, i tend to agree with him.

I disagree ... he will be apart of our next premiership list

Perfect opportunity to jump onto Daniel Gorrige from Suns..
Delisted FA, fantastic player who will help out in the ruck department..

Yep, unfortunate you've had to pull up stumps, but has there ever been a higher paid player with the return of robbie warnock?

Enjoy it 206, you've been very, very lucky and set up for life with 5 good games in 10 yrs

That is the plan

You just used 'delisted' and 'fantastic player' together

I'll probably get shouted down for this, but, I'd love to see us record the lowest level of away game participation in history.

0 Carlton supporters at away games will hurt the AFL and other clubs so much, they'll bend over backwards to improve us.

Well put jenx.

I hate the prick. Didn't try hard enough for the club.

He took the pay cheque every week and our off field management were happy to give it to him. They were all as bad as Warnock. Didn't care. They should be continuously named and shamed so we never forget the crap they were since the eLLIOT DAYS.

If you were an overly tall semi-athlete, and Carlton waddled over to offer you an arseload of cash for being a bit better than completely shit, what would you say?

A) Yes please.

B) No thank you. See I'm a bit shit. I don't want to hurt your premiership chances by becoming your un-necessary fourth ruckman. Please keep your money. I enjoy living in WA. Thank you and good day sir.

Hardly his fault that Carlton are complete morons.

I like! Have a feeling however, lead by 'Carlton Mike', the AFL would somehow find a way to punish us for poor away crowds.
I can see our 2017 draw now.......11 home games with 11 interstate appearances.

We need to follow the Geelong salary cap model. No player earns more than the captain.

It is not as bad as you are lead to believe.......it is %$#^& worse!!!

When Judd (our highest paid player at Carlton, let alone AFL) stepped down as captain, should he have taken a pay reduction, or pay Murphy more than Judd to ensure Murphy was paid more?
