2021 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[KSAS]

Sam Edmund increasing his noises about our tight salary cap earlier today on SEN, referring our situation as Collingwood 2.0. Claims we have no room to move and that Hewett seems likely to go as club haven't even started contract negotiations with him. He also claimed club has tabled contract offer to Dylan Stephens but hasn't been doing cart wheels to indicate he'll re-sign anytime soon.

I'm assuming Sam is getting his info from various player managers rather than directly from the players or club. Someone had posted earlier that the AFL has yet to announce next year's cap, which we may well be holding things up for us?

Sam has repeatedly made point that Buddy's contract can't be renogiated being a RFA (hope this is the same with all the other RFA's like Tom Lynch, Dangerfield, Cameron etc....). If our cap is that tight, is it feasible for club to approach Heeney & renogiated his final year of contract next year which is reportedly near vicinity of $900k? We could offer to front load his next contract with a bit extra as compensation to help club get out of current pickle?

I'm sure the current players would like to stick together for at least the next few years?

Jeez KSAS, that sounds dire. We must be paying overs for some players.

The other side of the coin is that the Swans amanagement are loving the innuendo that we have no money

First in first signed!

Just to qualify..... as it seems to have strayed from my comments massively the last few replies:

I'm only guessing we may miss out on one of our players (one) due to another club asking way overs.

One only is my guess ! Not a few !!!

Then..... if we don't meet a $600k party or $700k pa existong player demand.....we have a fair few options re topping up emerging / mature players (players being probably 2) unless there is a key player $550kish pa on similar money that we perceive we need for a role in our best 18

How were we ever going to be able to afford Joe Daniher had Essendon agreed to trade him?

By not paying Papley.

Looking at the Lions game so far tonight, don’t think we missed much!

Not that I am aware of - it has certainly worked for me in the past - is this a new occurrence or has it been a problem for a while?
