I get we need money for them but you still need to spend 95% of your salary cap, none of which can go to Mills or Heeney next year, only from 2018Comment

Minus the $600k COLA we lose next season...
But I suspect Whorethorn's pick 14 and our pick 17 will be used for something big!
Maybe throw in Tippett plus picks 14 & 17 and Freo kindly give the Swans a kid called Nat Fyfe. We offer Fyfe $4.5m over 5 years...

I'm confused? Are you saying it's a bad deal for who?
IMO - We would be laughing to get Fyfe for Tippett and 14+17. Freo would never go for it.Comment

Tom Mitchell squeezed out of heavily loaded Sydney Swans salary cap
Seems the media have no doubt where the difficulty lies in retaining Mitchell.Comment

If you look at our situation it becomes clear that we felt Mitchell was expendable. We needed to drop at least one star player from our list given we have 6 years left of big bucks for Buddy and another 2 for Tippett. Then we have Kennedy, Parker and Hanners on sizable contracts with guys like Heeney and Mills, who will also want big long term contracts. There are also plenty of others who will be on good money as well. We will probably want to extend Reid's contract if he comes through next year. Guys like Rampe, Smith, Jones, Rohan and Lloyd will all receive offers when they come out of contract. It's really hard to keep everyone. You have to let the ones go if you feel they can be covered by other players. Tom Mitchell and O'Meara ARE the future of the Hawthorn midfield. They really don't have any obvious stars once the current aging lot retire, while we have plenty of players who can step in and fill Tom's boots.
One possibility that would make sense is that we swap our second round pick for Freo's compo pick for Chris Mayne, which will go to Hawthorn for Brad Hill (#23 or 24). That would make the deal worth around a pick 8 or 9 net. I think that would be fair.
I think going into this draft with picks 14, 17 and 24 will get a good haul of quality players to add to our current list.
Maybe we keep Towers because we need players to trade out next year.Last edited by Ludwig; 12 October 2016, 01:27 PM.Comment

I wish people would stop carrying on about fyfe.
We have a salary cap squeeze. and if what I have seen about buddy's contract is true then its going to get worse before it gets better. Plus we have tippett for two more years on reasonable dollars as well as sinclair who'll probably be balancing time in the ones with time in the neafl.
the idea that you can just use the new $1m on new players ignores the fact that every other club is gettin $1 m as well and they can make offers to your undervalued in the market place players.
its time to look at our list less in terms of who else is out there but how do we retain all of those we want to retainComment

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but does anyone have any idea what sorts of things make up the 'performance indicators' that can trigger a contract extension? I'm sure it can vary from contract to contract but does anyone actually know (not just guessing) what sorts of conditions are ever in these contracts? Number of games selected? Finish place in B&F? I'm not sure what else is sufficiently objective and even these are things that could be easily manipulated by the coaching staff. The thing that made me think of it was reading that Tippett has triggered the 2 year extension in his 4 + 2 year contract. Given he has had a number of injuries along the way that have affected the number of games he has played and his form it made me think what does it depend on. And you hear about it with other players too e.g. apparently Bartel has triggered an option to extend his career at Geelong at least another year.All opinions are not equal.

People also seem to be forgetting that we can trade for future picks. Why not Pick 14 plus their first or second round pick next year?Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Because they'll probably need those future picks to trade for O'MearaComment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
