2015 Draft, Trades and Free Agency rumours.

[NMFCARSENAL98]

Aish to North

 

[Baird]

I heard everyone to collingwood

 

[Sock045]

To everyone here!!! Ive heard a rumour that a whole bunch of players from every club wabt to be traded and no matter there playing ablilty they are all worth a minimum first rounder... Plus no matter what clubs tell u if they deal is good enough then clubs will take it lol...
Also keep up the childish bickering it is so worth reading

All btw my sources are every footy website and blogger on here

 

[TheVelourFog]

Well what do you know a cross supporter trying to explain something about port they clearly have no ******* idea about... What a surprise.

No cap issues at all, last year we had 1.2mill free so we got Ryder. So we still had $500k free in the cap, get rid of cornes, redden and Butch taking a pay cut (would had been on mid $400k) and we are close to a million in the cap free. Everything you hear in the media is just people bull shit journalist wanting people to read their headlines without any facts

I'm curious to know how it is that you personally know the exact amount of cap space your team has? Do you have a source at the club that tells you exactly how much each player earns?

Could ask the same question to you.

Your meant to say you can't give that away....

 

[Sock045]

Oh sorry... My sources are confidential ...

Well it would be a dumb question to ask as I haven't come on here saying that my club has x amount of cap space and everyone who thinks otherwise is wrong

Answer me this, why would we be offering Dixon so much money if we had no cap space left? Remember port also have to resign a number of stars that will want pay increases next year (wingard, wines, hartlett just to name a few). Do you really think port would be that negligent to sign a key forward on big money if we were using "105% of the salary cap already". No we wouldn't, there were numerous reports last year that we had 1.2 mill in the cap, now apparently after spending $700k on a ruckman we have no space left.

Well without going over the books at Port Adelaide I would obviously have no idea what you have to spend. But for your teams sake I hope you're right otherwise you will be crippling the depth of decent players your club has to accommodate the few top end players.

But apparently we are using 105% of the salary cap so how is that possible #logic #nocapspenders

 

[Sock045]

Because u paid 105% on this years cap... It changes every year!!! So u can pay overs a lot of the time

But apparently we are using 105% of the salary cap so how is that possible #logic #nocapspenders

Prestia to Melbourne rumours are back according to my source

I smell bullshit

To be honest, saw the stuff on the Dees board then called my source. He agrees that it's back on but he's a cynical bastard, doesn't think it's a done deal yet.

Prestia to Melbourne rumours are back according to my source

He would've requested a trade this year.

There's only so many jobs Eddie has up his sleeve for girlfriends and parents.

Cloke could use a side kick on channel 9, sometimes looks a little lost.

Hamish Hartlett wants to play for Essendon.

My sauces (tomato based) say so...

Wait - so published news reports are wrong? That's your point? You're suggesting Emma Quayle is making her articles up without any sources or evidence? You're saying she's lying?

http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news...delaide-land-paddy-ryder-20141016-117ava.html

What's your counter-evidence? What other sources are there, other than internet rumors?

I might be a "cross supporter", but I'm hardly attacking your club.

 

[Mego Red]

Could ask the same question to you.

I'm not sure why you're so defensive.

A simple google search comes up with a number of published sources.

Is there a published report of that cap space? I can't find one online, but perhaps you can report to some evidence?

1 if you actaully read your article you posted you will notice that she acatully does not state anywhere that port have salary cap issues, she never said that port are using 105%, it is more of an article stating how ryder got to port. she is just stating that because the club under spent in 2013 and 2012 we had a greater salary cap as in her words "Clubs that underspent by, for instance, $500,000 on total player payments and additional service agreements this year are permitted to spend up to $500,00 over the combined limits across 2016 and 2017"

Port Adelaide is understood to have cleared at least $1.2 million, enough for Dixon and other salary increases at Alberton, by cutting retired premiership hero Kane Cornes, injured ruckman Jarrad Redden and untried draftees Mitch Harvey and Mason Shaw and by ultimately moving key forward John Butcher to the rookie list.

Combined with the $300,000 increase in the salary cap, the Power could have $1.5 million next season for Dixon, new draftees and increases written into existing contracts for star players such as Essendon recruit Patrick Ryder.
