Time to raid the players Sydney aren't paying 90% of their salary too.
Offer BIG monies to their young guns Hawks.

Surely Kennedy, Jack and Hannerbry would be on some pretty hefty coin.
Yeah by strengthening one of our main flag rivals for next year... this helps us tremendously.
I'm not completely outraged (yet) but I would really like to be shown the exact facts and figures of how this is all going to add up. Yes there are plenty of Swans moving on that will free up considerable spondools but still??!! You best believe I'm gonna start crapping on about WA being a more expensive place to live these days if this happens... We could've lured him home with that extra cash.

Lets get kieran jack or bring JK home!?!
Hanneberry's rookie deal went from 2009/10, and assuming he signed a three-year deal at better money, that takes him to the end of this season. You'd think his next deal would be the big money earner, not the last one.
Kennedy would've been on a small contract when he went up in 2010, and if he was still on the same contract before last season through this year, then the same would apply to him as Hanneberry.
So the Swans (with Bolton retiring, Mumford leaving and the possible off-loading of Reid) may not have Salary Cap problems at the moment, but you'd think the next few years wouldn't be too kind to them.
All of this (COLA aside) just goes to show that if salaries were public knowledge (like in the USA) then we could look at the figures ourselves and just see whether or no there's any trouble going on.
Swans get ambassador money?
Evans to resign from Essendon, too.
If you put your logic hat on for two seconds this probably makes a lot of sense.
First, Hawthorn will get compensated more fairly then in FA given a trade is being arranged. Franklin most likely wants to have some input into adequately compensating the Hawks even if he wants out....doubt he is trying to screw anyone. Hawthorn will also have added bonus of extra salary cap space.....however, this might be burnt on upsizing a few existing contracts.
Swans are likely to be without Goodes, Mumford and possibly Reid and Okeefe....that is a fair chunk of coin right there and they could afford the buddy package with this in mind.
All in all, I imagine that when the dust settles both parties will be happy.

If Sydney offers him $1.3M - then surely Hawthorn only have to match $1.18M
I mean it costs an extra $120k a year to live in Sydney doesn't it?

There is such as thing as not having the players to win the premiership.
And watching Mitchell, Biggs, Rampe, Alex Johnson, Hannas, Reid etc etc I can see why the club was confident in the kids.
Why are they buying Buddy then?
What a joke this is, but hey, that's the league.
Can't believe Freo weren't in with more of a shot really.

If rumours are true, at least we'll get a trade out of it, not some ridiculously bad 'compensation' from the AFL.

How so?
The assumptions made on here are amazing.
Tell us all what they are on.
Great list management by the Swans & you know it.
Our mid to bottom end of our list runs on an oily rag!
Perhaps Everitt may move on as well w etc, etc.
The Swans are prepared to trade! Every club knows this. The Hawks are probably well informed on the matter.

Well they would have got pick 18 I think as compo for losing a fee agent. Now they get Mumford and possibly a pick
Pretty much. People forget that White was on a pretty ridiculous contract as well (negotiated when he was looking like a future superstar).
Also, people claiming that the COLA allows Buddy are by default acknowledging that we could afford Tippett without it. Clearly we're just really ****ing good list managers.
I prey this is true - but what trade chips do Sydney have? Was pretty pretty excited at trading with GWS - but Sydney don't even have a top 10 draft pick!!!!
Argh!
Don't want Mumford either.
