What you've just enunciated there is my problem with the bulls!te AFL salary cap. Why should a club have to pay X amount of the cap? Surely they should only pay what the players on the list are worth?Vazelos wrote: ↑Sun 06 Jun 2021 10:47amDifferent positions I agree Webster is a good squad player only he has his flaws and Butler I mentioned as the most disappointing on the list.Yorkeys wrote: ↑Sun 06 Jun 2021 10:24am How come Webster gets a pass. Just as undisciplined as Long at times but just doesn't look as manic. Kicking is no better than Higgins in terms of quality.
And Butler, how is he still picked - because we have no reinforcements.
Billings and Ross are so far above those two but is the suggestion get rid of them and keep W & B. Swapping for magic beans only happens in fairy tales. Play the market by selling blue chips and buying startups - a way to wealth how often?
Keep talent. Lose the chaff. Dealing with other AFL clubs seems at best nil sum over the journey.
Ross has been over paid for his worth as I mentioned he got a big deal 4 years ago and he needs to come down considerably in line with his worth and market value to stay I am sure he will.
Billings I mentioned I would not pay more than 550 with some extra KPIs to 600 if he starts wanting 700+ there is a problem for me.
It is a risk but I know some of the talent we are focusing on in our draft may temper a loss of a decent quality player at his peak.
Big decision no doubt.
If the salary cap was a petrol tank, who in their right mind would pay premium fuel price for 91 unleaded? Yet the tank needs to be filled.
