And then he has a great year - retires, and then miraculously fronts up again. This could all be so scripted - we just need someone from the WWF for the drama and John Farnham's agent to line up the events. It can't lose!
as far as claw can tell we have 20 players who come out of contract this yr.
the 10 in the gun as far as i can see would have to be
bowden brown, hughes, johnson, pettifer, simmonds, pattison, raines, polak, jon,
the 10 out of contract but probably safe that will have to be renegotiated are
cotchin, cousins, deledio, jackson, rance, morton, mcguane, richardson, putt, and maybe coughlan.
i think nahas and maybe browne will go to the list proper and like phantom said putt is a chance to go to the rookie list. 6 of this this group will probably demand a rise of some sort 4 of them substantial rises one would think.
what is of concern we have 19 who comme out of contract next yr it seems everyone is clumped in a two yr period.
the contracted players for 2010 are.
collins connors edwards KING foley graham hislop MCMAHON moore polo post riewoldt SCHULZ tambling thomson tuck thursfield vickery WHITE.
Contracted to 2011 is newman.
apart from the 4 highlighted players who i think would be in the gun if not contracted we have an opportunity to clean out a good portion of the list cloggers. those 4 will have to wait. i hope they dont waste the opportunity.

Still think there is a massive chance for a smart football club to use the Salary Cap and trading table to improve the list.
Take Sanchez for example.
Is it possible that you could palm him off to a another club with the following deal.
Jordan McMahon and our third round pick, we pay %40 of his 2010 salary (140k based on 300k)
For your second round pick. Give up pick 38, Jordy for pick 20-24.
If we think that the talent runs out at 25 then these are the top of deals we should be looking at. You need your talent identifaction process to clearly nominate a given point where the talent runs dry and then try and build deals around that point.

lock in those players now that will take us thourhg the next 8 years. Redirect the remainder into player development and football department.
I did hear somewhere about 2 months back that this was being mooted in the mid season review and that development and footy dept were priorities.

Well you never know if you don't get creative. It's easy to sit back and just let the year play out but why wouldn't you have a crack at moving him? Worse case is you are going to pay him 300k next year. First year player will get a base of 50k plus match payments. You can pay up to 200k of Jordy's wage and still save money while getting another shot at improving your list.
I have no problem with Jordan sitting at Coburg all of 2010. But I would at least try and get a return on a deal that gets worse and worse as time goes by. I called it our worst trade over the last 20 years and I stand by it.
josey said:
Yep you'd have to give Jordy and a 2nd round pick to another club for their 3rd round selection to get any deal done.
