Good idea, wait until next year when you get less for Merrett. :lol:
I’d say with a full year to run on his contract that Weddle was untouchable. Next year when he is out of contract perhaps he might be attainable but zero chance of coming to us.
I think we will throw some stupid money at a FA next year as we will be nowhere near cap this year or next


All lined up for a front ended contract for Butters.


You wont come close to the Demons offer

Pickett's stupid contract comes into effect next year, don't forget

Merrett off the books, McKay's contract reverts back to bugger all, already way under the cap. Reckon we'd have a price that would be worth looking at
my yes be yes, my no be no

Price might be worth looking but be honest we aren’t a great destination currently.

I still believe Butters will ink a long term deal to stay at Port but if he was to leave then I’d suggest he would try to get to a club playing finals or around the mark. Dogs would still be my tip if he leaves

Weddle for Merret and Caddy sounds about right. If not Caddy then 2 1st rounders that will help get Butters done
Merret will be a year older
Caddy perfect replacement for Gunston
Weddle will be a much better player end of next year than now.

I dont mind giving up Weddle if its a stupid offer. Hell he does some really dumb shit, he moves quicker physically than his brain moves. Hangs onto the ball way too long then has no options ahead of him.
And if it allows us to bring in both Merret and Butters then its a definite yes

Whys that, Weddle will be seen as absolute potential top liner at end of next year and you need to pay up to get him out. Merret will be the steak knives part of the deal at his age
