While on the subject of signings, does anyone else think it's daft to have signed Kade Simpson (who was 30 in May this year) for another two years, until the end of 2016?

The sting here is that Simpson, for mine, has probably been their best player for a fair while now. I've come across more than just the odd poster at Tanking Carlton saying that Simpson should have been their captain instead of Murphy...
Having said that, yes, list management orthodoxy does suggest that you sign guys on the wrong side of 30 on a year-by-year basis. On the other hand, it also doesn't recommend signing middle of the road players to 5 year deals. Or players with bung ankles to 4 years and $750k...
