Surely we won’t lose SOS. He is an integral part of our future.

His list management is starting to look very, very good. And now we're looking like Brisbane last year... ready to catch the comp blindsided... he will be able to bring in some very good players for next year. Why would he want to go right when he can put the finishing strokes on his painting?

The list has got more holes than a crumpet and he's got no room in the cap to pay the emerging talent.

He's done ok, but not 'General Manager's salary in a luxury tax environment' ok.



where did you get the no room in the cap info from?

been told we've not paid at 100% of the cap for a while and have built a war chest for future recruits..

$700k sunk into fat camp.
Need to reserve $1m+ for Cripps in 2021.
Our age profile is sort of like a debt bubble. All of the emerging talent will be worthy of 1.5-2x the average wage at the same time.

Haha.

So the problem is we are at 95% of the salary cap and have drafted too well are now have players whose wages will have to be managed going forward.

Can you justify the statement in bold?

Crumpets have a lot of holes in them. Although, I suppose you could say that since they don’t go all the way through, they’d be more properly categorised as divots.

Footy wise, we’re:
Too light in the middle without Cripps.
Fisher, Gibbons, Lang & Deluca aren’t the answer for that forward role.
An untenable ruck solution.
Simpson & Thomas on borrowed time. Docherty unlikely. Plowman & Newman ok, but limited to the easy kicks.

There’s nobody knocking on the door to take these spots. The injured brigade are in other positions.

Just my opinion, obviously.


It’s no revelation that we need another mid, ruck and small forward all in the right age bracket. It was the case at the start of the year and even as we’ve started winning it hasn’t changed.

We have assets to get two out of three of those easily via our first picks this year and next. We also probably have an asset playing that could be traded. Then there is FA.

Go back and look at the list at the end of 2015. That’s all hole, no donut.

Really? Unless the emerging talent turn out to be a Fyfe or Dangerfield we don’t pay the absolute top dollar. We manage according to consistent performances.

Not ‘going forward’. Now & all at once.

We’ve only got Cripps to show for 2011-2014 intakes. These are the players with 100-150 games on the clock. They’re ready to win now, not “with time”.

All previous attempts to fill that hole have had a lifespan of 12 months, so we now have to face the reality that it will cost more than the market rate for each player we try to target. The McGovern deal has set the bar.

Richmond and Geelong have had no tissue getting all the pieces in under the salary cap. Hawks in their prime no issue. What sells it is success. We are going in the right direction for that too.

You have to pay 95% cap stupidly so if anything is currently front loaded to reach that point it’s even more positive in the coming years.

Plenty of flexibility in the cap with the 105% rule as well from what I deduce, get buy in for the players to remain at market or slightly less than market rates for success and it won’t be an issue.

in my view it is even more important that he stays from now on - list build has been good given it was stripped back so severely and should be encouraged to continue

My theory is that SOS being SOS, meaning the ultimate professional, is the following scenario.

Knowing he has built up the core of the team for the next flag he is going to get out before his kids are likely to be considered for cutting off the list.

Nothing more complex than that.

Pretty simple.

He does not want to be seen as having any part in the important decisions regarding list management when his boys are on the chopping block. Which is sensible, because it would not be good for the club.

We will end up getting every Silvagni cheap so recruitment is not the issue, it is cutting them from the list which will be the hard part and SOS should not have any say in it, and he knows it.

Jack any year from now on, Ben any time after next year, just for starters. But you already knew that.

Very harsh, can't see JSoS delisted anytime soon. He is getting better and better.
