I really don’t know how many dogs players are on good money. Top 12-15 only and the rest I reckon are all average or below role players and they’ve protected salary cap space for the stars. G1, Bont, Naughton, Jamarra, Libba with Smith and English unsigned. G2 Dale, Williams, Richards, Weightman, Jones, Treloar, Macrae, Lobb and Daniel

Agree.
On just media speculation, if their salary squeeze is true, he won't cost what we think he's worth.
I guess it could rate him from expensive to 'gettable'. Just hoping lol |

How about getting Treloar back?

What a debacle; missed him by one pick:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_AFL_draft
18 Josh Weddle Hawthorn Oakleigh Chargers NAB League ←Sydney (draft)←Adelaide (2021)←Melbourne (2021)
19 Ed Allan Collingwood Claremont WAFL
If Ed Allan becomes yet another bust-pick; i'll be ruing this one even more...
Weddle would have been perfect heir-apparent to Murphy too.
Now we have to scour over-priced, under-performing SPUDS from other teams to replace him....

Make Treloar a pie again! Loved Treloar…and he loved us and the CFC. His unceremonious departure was a travesty and along with Noble, Grundy, and Tay, I truly felt sorry he wasn’t part of our 2023 success. Not sure he would want to come back though, but it would be poetic if he did and we snagged number 18! Go Pies!

Hoping Ed comes good but from what I’ve seen so far he has all the attributes required but there’s just something missing and he seems a fair way off AFL level. Should be ripping it apart in the VFL. Reminds me of early days Josh Daicos when his talent was evident but he just couldn’t put it together. Hopefully, Ed works it out soon as did Josh…could well prove to be a worthy pick or maybe we should just cut our losses ASAP….

As Jake said, "Jesus H. Godblasted Christ". 
And there I was thinking nothing could be worse than bringing Beams back.  |

Honestly watching Allen in the VFL he has the moves but he's played in tight in the middle too much. He's a skinny ar$ed tall with too high a centre of gravity. He's pushed out of the contest or off the ball too easily by stubby VFL players. Keep playing him like that and he will be in WAFL colours in 2025.
I reckon he's played out of position. If he is our best on the GPS what the hell are we doing bogging him down in the middle. Give the kid a wing and let him roam. He will do his damage on the run burning the slow coaches and outdoing the stamina kings.
I think we really need to give him a chance.

Yeah, you’ve got a point there. When we picked him up all the hype was about his speed but haven’t seen any evidence of that so far….endurance yes. Needs to get a good supplements program, really spend some time in the gym, learn from Pendles and Sidey as much as he can, and give it a red hot go next year. Lots of up side if he can.

I've been screaming for him for two years now.
Will he leave Pauperoos if they continue to improve after the last two weeks?
But if he pulls the plug, we need $1M in the kitty by end of 2025 to finance the poach.

After Christian Petracca's medical issue comments twice on his own social media last week and today on Nova radio, I'm going out on a limb by saying he is gettable on the open market if another team can trade for him.
The media says he's on an extended deal to 2029. Based on the Dees cultural implosion, drug, medical and welfare related controversies over the last 2years I think he's sending a message he's prepared to leave if someone wants to come and get him. Why else would go out on his own with big reveals without the club knowing.

Look, plausible hypothesis, but there's another alternative.
He already has (apparently) a high social media profile, he's loaded with painkillers, if he wants to put a message out there it likely wouldn't occur to him to go through the club and go through all the bullshit getting a media release approved when he can just do it himself with no consequences as he's not saying anything controversial.
Players do it all the time, it doesn't necessarily imply that he's more gettable.

| Some positive news for the club today, The AFL have just approved players who have been forced to retire prematurely, will now have a significant percentage of their remaining contract removed from the clubs salary cap ( up to three years max ) Nathan Murphy’s premature retirement and the AFLs new ruling means we will now officially have more cap space than we would have likely planned for. |
