Senior List
Damien Cupido has been reported to have signed with West Adelaide
Bullen as well
Macca, when I said last year that Port were way above the cap, I was told these players weren't being paid big money. Now that they're leaving, they suddenly were.
They would need to have been to compensate for the enormous amount LeCras is on. Clayton and LeCras would now account for at least 25% of Ports cap as a minimum, just for the two of them.
Very doubtful as Clayton's day job pays him a lot more than his footy contract does.

No you claimed that Waterhouse, Clayton, BUllen, Alvey, Baird and Morrison were all on over $50k a year and that noone else at the club must be paid any money.
Weve lost 5 players so far this year. Without knowing all our contract details, id say Bullen, Morrison and Baird would have been 3 of our top 5 paid players. Id also say that Davis and Evans would have comfortably been inside the top 10 as well. Evans may have been on a decent base salary and his injury payments were probably quite hefty as well.
By midyear we shall know if we were over or not. Im expecting youll willingly apologise on all three forums for the constant talk of us being miles (you said a couple of times that we must be double over the cap) over the cap if we are indeed in the clear?
With respect, macca, aren't you just confirming what I'm saying by agreeing that those 3 were in your highest paid players? It's not a secret what other clubs offered some of those players and those clubs were blown out of the water by Port's offers.
Add Clayton and Waterhouse to those 3 and you have at least 5 players on at least $40K as a minimum, before we take into account up-front payments to Alvey.
The SANFL salary cap investigators have been totally ineffective until now, so getting past them proves nothing.
Times are changing, though, and it's going to be tougher to rort the cap from now on with a new investigating regime.
If you think Port are under the cap, and after all the departures I'm sure they are now, how much do you think LeCras's package is?
I'm happy for a reasonable guess, but I said they would account for 25% of the cap, which equals about $85,000. I stand by my statement and I'd think I'm being very generous to Port only saying 25%.

You may be able to stand by the statement but I'd be pretty certain you can't actually prove it........
And again you forget the money they can earn away from the club which is not included in salary caps that can be a significant factor for recruits at ALL SANFL clubs...........it's been happening at quite a few clubs since the salary cap was first introduced in the SANFL.
Well, of course Clubs can 'hide' payments by all sorts of methods. My comments are obviously based on what they're really being paid, not whether they've been able to successfully hide it. I can't prove it any more than you can disprove it.
I've said that it's well known what other clubs have offered these players and they've been blown out of the water by Port.
I'm still interested in your estimates of what Clayton and LeCras are being paid.

Paid by the club or paid by their 'non-footy employers' for their 'non-footy jobs' which is something pretty much all SANFL clubs have used including yours since the salary cap came in...........

Charles Slattery from westies has signed with centrals
West Adelaide has signed ex Geelong Rookie Luke Buckland, this kid can play and by saying that he can play any postion on the ground. He has the tank to run all day, was playing a dashing half back flanker when at Geelong and last year played in a winning grand final, which he turned the game by moving himself from the backline to forward and kicking 3 goals in ten minutes. Good luke to Luke and West Adelaide for 2007
Thanks for that, macpop
I can tell you for a fact that its no secret that Clayton is the highest paid player outside of the AFL. My sources tell me in the vicinity of $60K.
You should ask your so called sources to tell you how much of that payment is from the club for his footy contract and how much is for his non-footy work which is not paid by the club..........if your sources can supposedly find out how much he earns it should be pretty easy for them to find out the rest of the facts.
dreamkillers, you cant seriously tell me you haven't heard that Clayton is the highest paid player in Australia outside the AFL? My sources suggest a package worth well over $100K (footy and job) so you do the maths
I never said that at all so I don't need to do the maths
Perhaps you should read my post again to comprehend what I did say.
As a clue I will state that the majority of what he earns is from his 'non-footy work' which is not part of the salary cap and is typical of what most SANFL clubs do to get around the salary cap..........

Just wondering is he by any chance related to former Woodville " hard nut " Ken Crane, as coincidentally McAlmanac was chatting to Kenny at the Cremorne Hotel ( In the heart of Sturt Territory) as reported on the Woodville Team of The Century thread....aha, maybe I am on to it LOL...
No relation. From Tassie originally, he is 22 i think now, and has won the Eagles B and F three years running. I taught/coached him, great young bloke as well as a great little player. Was talking to some of his friends who said that he is being rather well looked after.
