Not sure how much money we can spend, given The Bont's contract extension was only two years. That might be a very expensive re-sign if the team isn't performing better than it has been since 2016.

He's probably the highest paid player at the club right now, any increase surely won't cripple us.
It's not just Boyd's money - Picken, Dahl from last year, Dickson, and sadly Moz.
Wood is on very good coin too from memory (something like $750k signed when he was a premiership captain) and that expires in 2020.
Bont would be on about $800,000 I’d guess. As captain, he might demand a $200,000 rise to stay. Even $300,000 ($1.1m) is not much with a large cap.
Add Stringer, Biggs, Redders, Dahl and Dicko off the books recently/soon, and we have a LOT of cap on top of retaining all our better players. Plus the cap rises. Just got to get in some players who will make a difference.
Agree. I would even consider picking up Roughead from the Hawks. Just like what happened with Hogde. I would go hard for a Blitzard or a Taylor from the Cats. I think we could do with a couple of oldies to do a job for 12/24 months until our guys come on. I would spend big on a couple of fast mids.
Roughead of the Jarryd variety is completely cooked .
If shaw doesn't get the norf job, surely we are having a chat.
Senior assistant. Would you stay if you don't get it? There is a lot of love for shaw and coming from his background I can understand why the players would like/relate him. He has been that naughty boy who's struggled at times, but once was shown some love in a strong culture played some really solid football. Anyone coming out of the Sydney culture should be looked at. Agree with the Roughead calls, would absolutely ideal as a coach also.
Harry Taylor??? Also in the cooked category. I would expect him to retire at the end of the season, maybe 1 more season at best but I can't see the point of getting him and can't imagine he would play anywhere but the cats.
Blicavs is on a long term contact (until the end of 2023), he's not going anywhere.
