Post Game Analysis: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

Merrett will want big dollars, think Matthew Lloyd said he is worth 850k a season....
Bont...no hope, will be a Dog for life.
Cam Guthrie loves the Cats and has his brother on the list also which gives the Cats some leverage so I'd say no hope there either and I reckon the AA Guthrie is worth more than Merrett.
Luke Parker...bit late, see Hannebury.
Hewitt...handy but no star.

I'd look at Cerra  from Freo, Sholl from the Crows, Brander, Duggan from WC, and I'd throw some money at Caddy, Castagna  from Richmond..

[capcom]

Then there is the salary cap with little wriggle room

You don't know that for fact. 

[capcom]

ps we should have a red hot crack at the Bont. RFA.

Cam Guthrie is UFA.

Hewett and Parker at the Swans - both RFA.

Definitely Guthrie.

Where's laj?

I need him to fill me in on Murphy, Plowman, Jones and SPS and how they've been playing. I'm sure they're killing it...

You don't know that for fact. 

We can assume that’s the case surely
Williams 850000
Martin 600000
McGovern 700000
Saad 500000 plus
Cripps 800000
Curnow 600000
The added problem is McKay
He is on  around 400000
He will be getting close to double that next yearbecause his contract is up
In relation to the first three names we are not getting bang for the buck of course Charlie has been injured
WC and Freo don’t have much wriggle room either
Freo in particular over pay some of their so called stars
Rory Lobbe

Martin will be on less than 400k for the next 3 seasons as the contract was front loaded to pay him 2 million for his first 2 years.

Martin will be on less than 400k for the next 3 seasons as the contract was front loaded to pay him 2 million for his first 2 years.

I have read that Martin was in the top 5 paid players in 2020
Ignore COVID-19 and he would have got a million
The next 4 years starting from 2021 it’s 600000 a season
Not bad for a cameo soft injury prone lazy guy who can’t play midfield
Saad actually is on 650000
Face it the club has shot itself in the foot once again

[madbluboy]

His salary was reported as an average of 600k over 5 years that was to be front loaded.

Definitely front loaded so they could fit Saad and Williams into calculations
But I think it’s more than 400000
The problem is McKay for next year
That’s why free agency  can bite you on the arse
Of course Carlton should know this?

If you think Martin's soft (or lazy) you really are clueless.
