So a Perth boy, now back in Perth is going to leave and come back to VIC for $350k!! Either Freo completely and utterly low balled him, or that salary expectation is bulldust.
As I recall he didn’t want to leave the saints but was put up as part of the Hill deal
I’m not an big fan of his but after last nights game not many who should be getting paid more than him at Feo…
I know they did, but it’s pretty hollow from Maher and Pang considering that their team couldn’t even make the 8 and had nothing to do with our loss to Brisbane.
They expect us to believe that McKay would agree to a long term deal for $400K a season? If those numbers are true, their books need to be investigated.
Where the hell does Carltank find the money - press never says a bloody thing re their highly paid long term contracts and yet they still chase more players from other clubs... Got me buggered where the dosh comes from.
Got an idea where the dosh comes from
How they manage to stay under the salary cap is the ?
Following geelong’s much vaunted salary cap model.
Media guess the wage but the players play for “peanuts” because they like the place
All bulls-it aside maybe they’re back ending everything like GC, I hope it bites them on the arse
Will give him credit on this. He’s consistent so far
“Carlton are going to get burnt”: Cornes criticises McKay’s “ridiculous” extension — SEN
“I guarantee you Carlton are going to get burnt.”
Something something Harry McKay, something something Blake Acres, something something, brown paper bags, something something, Richmond. Am I doing it right?
We had a great salary cap model as well, then we won Premierships.......every player on the Cats list is now worth more........more people want to come and so on and so onFollowing geelong’s much vaunted salary cap model.

McKay's 24, a bloody good player, this was Carlton's opportunity to lock him in for the rest of his career. Long contracts seem to be in vogue at the moment so Carlton would be looking at what other clubs will offer when he is out of contract and figure they could meet the contract length now and head off any attempts to lure him away.
If long contracts are the current price for a player, then long contracts are what you have to offer to keep a player.
It is a choice, the clubs all know the price to hold on to good players and if they want to keep those players they know they have to pay.
In any case, isn't everyone assuming the salary cap will rise over time? If that turns out to be an accurate prediction then long contracts in the context of the current salary cap are a great move.

Can you explain all that to Kane Cornes please. I’ve been texting him but he won’t reply. Maybe my repeated use of the word dullard isn’t helping….
Long contracts avoid the potentially salary-cap exploding renewal when a player hits full free agency. If you're most likely going to want them when they're 28, you may as well sign them up early and swap more guaranteed money at less $ per year. It has yet to really screw a club (AFAIK), but eventually it will. I like McKay, but he does look like the kind of guy who could have a massive knee blowout in time.
