They would be looking at Billings because Sidebottom is 33 and Pendlebury is 35. He is not as good as either but can hit a target which if they lose those two their midfield will really struggle with.

Shiel staying at the Bumbers, Thank God

I think there is more to play out here.

 

[sauce_head]

Just don't go to Collingwood. I'm still salty about the Luke Ball deal..

The Luke Ball “deal” is exactly how we should approach trading Gresham.

Mccreery is better than him right now.

100%. The role McCreery plays in that team Billings is not capable of. Would never displace him.

 

[sauce_head]

Can’t we still match if compensation is not good enough?

has officially informed St Kilda he will be heading to Essendon as a free agent. Now just waiting to see the deal and on what the compensation is looking like - Bombers get their other two free agents today in McKay and Goldstein.

Its kind of odd.

Would i move to a new employer without knowing how much i was going to earn?
Nope.

It might not be my prime motivator, but its still a factor.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Really, really don't like Gresham anymore. Wants to go to a big club, yeah mate you've gone to the biggest drug cheating sporting club in Australia. Lest we forget!!!

I'd start letting yourself down easily if i was you, why on earth should Gresham be in the top 5% of AFL salaries. That's what band 1 requires.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

I think McKenzie's calves are done, poor chap

 

[StCicatriz]

Pick 13 would be mint

 

[bird_man]

So after all of that, Shiel is staying at the Bombers.

That rules out Bombers upping their offer for us to get band one.

Just gotta cross our fingers for band 2 now I reckon

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Everyone knows but us!

The paperwork with the contract details has been submitted.

Waiting on what the comp pick is

 

[stavro#4]

Because the bandwidths take into account the previous Contract agreements and are not reflective of the increase in contracts expected next year

 

[kernelT]

please explain

If the Shiel meal deal is off and they lowball Gresham then we just keep him.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Doedee just got Adelaide Band 2.

All FA compo has been inflated thus far (possible to ensure Mckay gets Norf their pick 2 charity)

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Cheating in general i'd suggest.
Before it was drug cheating it was Salary Cap cheating.

In 1996, a joint investigation between the Australian Football League and the Australian Tax Office into Essendons finances found that the club had breached the salary cap by more than $514,000 between 1991 and 1996. The investigation started when the AFL was notified of the existence of a document showing that Mark Harvey had received more than $30,000 in incentives outside of his official contract in 1997.

The Bombers were fined $388,000 for both salary cap breaches and draft tampering and hit with a further $250,000 in back taxes by the ATO. The AFL also stripped Essendon of their first two picks in the 1999 national draft and froze them out of the pre-season and rookie drafts entirely.

 

[FrogDude]

Still think we'll get Shiel, list managers say stuff like this all the time about contracted players.
It's just public posturing

 

[Dard Ball Get]

If Double ACL Doedee can, anything is possible!

 

[True Believer]

Nope.

It might not be my prime motivator, but its still a factor.

I think Twomey is just referring to the media seeing the deal and the compensation, not Gresham. If he is officially going, then he knows the deal. If he was moving without knowing the deal, he should be suing his manager for professional misconduct and gross negligence!!

Whatever the pick is?, still don't hand it over to Freeo for Henry
