I personally would love Kelly at our club and would love Gaff and would love Wingard but the money there talking about is out of control. We paid way overs for Boyd but that was a little revenge involved as well. these players offered over a million dollars a season are only worth about 750 to 800 at their existing clubs. And should only be worth this much at the new club. North especially are so desperate to get one they offer ridiculous amounts of money and length of contract. The pressure on them at a new club on that sort of money is a lot to burden. As long as we avoid pick six we will get a dam good player in the first round. That Rozee (sorry if not correct spelling) would be a very nice edition. The video posted earlier seemed to be from one game. If so he is a pretty smooth mover with great skills.

Mackenzie out retired from WCE, perhaps that shines a bigger light on Adams prospects of going home?

If MacKenzie was a member of their best 22 it might be a strong possibility, but Adams would be behind McGovern & Barrass who play similar roles so I'm not sure there would be much interest from both parties... unless the pull to return to WA meant he was happy to go even if he wasn't assured of a spot in their best 22.

I have a sneaking suspicion that for whatever reason they don't rate Barrass all that much.

I've always thought that Barrass was the stopper that allows McGovern to have freedom to zone off and intercept. Not sure Adams can do that.

Tom Cole showed some real signs as well, not sure if he's a legitimate KPD but seems highly rated.

Cole isn't a KPD at all, he's 186cm.

Barrass is a very good player and a fine intercept mark as well. They also have Schofield who is solid. Not sure they have any great need for Adams who I think would find it harder to get a game at the Eagles than he does here.

Barrass is young and way good enough already. I don't think 1m is outrageous money anymore. Sure the Franklin's / Boyd's were trailblazers but pretty soon, like now, every elite talent is going to be around the mark.

People keep saying this...why??? The salary cap is the salary cap...if there is $300K difference between the minimum and the average...and a lot of guys are on the minimum, well - that means there are a lot of players earning a LOT more.

800K for Gaff - a multiple All Australian mid in his mid 20's - seems like UNDERS.

Exactly. We have to pay the money to somebody. Whether that is right or wrong is a different story for another day.

Thinking about salary cap , should there be a maximum set on the most you can pay a player a year ? Eg a team can only pay a maximum of 1 million a year to a player .

Too many people get hung up on what players are paid. I for one don't care, as long as we get the right players on the list and don't lose the ones we want to keep.

Could you imagine the song and dance the players would put on, if that was the case.
