Meanwhile, St Kilda, which yesterday declared it would not be a big player in next week's player-exchange period, has gone cold on its mid-season interest in Richmond defender Jordan McMahon, who has another season left on a three-year contract.

We have superstars just jam packed taking up all of our cap space don't we? :hihi
We should have plenty of cap to work with it, it's not like if we keep him we get to spend the 300k on the football department or anything. We also would be rewarding him with another 300k to just squib it up in the 2's....what the hell is the point? Time to cut our losses, admit we made a mistake and get rid of the him. Then we also have another spot on the list to draft in a kid who actually has a shot at making it and contribute to the team.

I don't know our cap situation at the moment but we've had to do some clever juggling in the past. Our players mightn't have been superstars, and they've certainly been poorly performed, but they have had very lucrative salaries just the same. Salary cap space isn't necessarily measured by the talent of the list unfortunately.
Edit..Salary cap space is a different thing to actual $$ to pay the players. $300,000 is way too much money to throw out the window for no good reason.
If Jordan isn't traded he will have to earn his selection same as other players should. If others are better at the role the coaches want him to play he'll be at Coburg. If they're not he'll play seniors.
Good move :Barnzy said:
Pay out McMahon=300k
Replace him with a kid=100K[Pick 60+]
Yep thats sound planning

Because McMahon is really going to earn that 300k next year squibbing it up in the 2's, amiright? :rofl
We have to pay him the 300k anyways we may aswell get rid of him now and get a kid on the list who has a shot of making it and who might heaven fobid be any good. Effectivley, having to pay only an extra 80-100k or so to get rid of a massive list clogger and replace him with a promising kid. Would think that's pretty good planning.

A massive amount of space will come with Johnson, Brown and half of Joels salary not included.
WesternTiger said:
Yes but as I said salary cap isn't the issue here. We still have a big debt despite being on the right track to service it. I don't think it would be prudent to throw away $300,000 to get rid of a player who at worst would add depth and keep others honest.
I can't see any reason whatsoever that would justify such a waste of so much money.
Would you rather Mcmahon sitting around on the couch and getting 300K or actually being made to earn it via Training and albiet Coburg?Barnzy said:
