Bickley to 5AA

[Tex Danger]

Have it from good source that Bicks has the job as new 5AA drive show host for next year.

Would put it in asst coach thread but the new job may create some discussion in itself

 

[JP Sauce]

Hooray!

If he replaces Bone and/or Rowe then double-hooray!

Win/Win if true.

Unsure, possibly bone

Wow that's big! Fingers crossed he replaces Bone, but I have a feeling that it might be Rowey has he has mentioned his contract is up for renewal and Bone hasn't mentioned the same.

Interesting. I do recall somebody on here saying quite a while ago that one of our assistants was eyeing a move into the media next year.

 

[AFC3000]

Hopefully he leaves us on good terms then...

Yep that was me. I was told that although Bicks had a contract for next year, it was felt the best thing was for him to move and he was looking at going back into the media rather than coaching. Then I heard no more and I was starting to wonder if the media had rejected his return.

Good luck to him anyway, as I think he would have still been going, job at 5aa or not.

 

[Hank93]

Wow, as mentioned wins all round. Good in the media, need a new coaching panel. Happy days.

 

[mattymac]

Rezzzzult!

 

[Iron]

Would prefer a Bickley/Rowe combination. Rowe is adorably dumb. Bone is just nastily dumb.

Don't reckon Rowe/Bicks would work as well as Bicks/Bone. Can't have two nice guys.

So if he is heading to the media, and is still contracted for next year, what does this mean for our Football Department spending and the impending cap?

 

[beartoo]

I heard the rumour that Bicks was going back to the media way before the end of the season. Good luck to him.

When you quit a job, they don't continue to pay you.

I realise this, but we have no idea as to whether or not he's quitting, or getting moved on at this stage, do we?

 

[relapse]

Who's to say that either is going, maybe they've decided to have 3 people on there rather than just 2.

I think I read somewhere that the situation with Sanderson doesn't apply to the cap because it was before a certain date. Can't remember for sure though.

This is what I'm hoping. Logically, you would think if a contract is settled before the cap comes into play, it shouldn't effect the cap even if the contract had been terminated early. But this is the AFL, and logic doesn't appear to come into it a lot of the time.
