Ah I see, so Sydney Swans give scholarships to anyone that looks good in the academy and all the rest of the duds are the ones the other 17 teams have access to? Sounds fair to me
scholarship scheme is over dude get your facts right
You will have to excuse Carlton supporters for feeling like victims at times. The way we have been wacked over salary cap indiscretions compared to other clubs, Judd's 4 week suspension for a chicken wing tackle compared to serial offender Rioli's one week. Judd being treated like he was the only player on a 3rd party deal. We do feel a little paranoid at times.

Turning 27 in January and then 9 years?
Even the premise of the deal is ridiculous.
Would anyone honestly believe Buddy will even play until he's 36 let alone produce any significant output until then?
But the premise is the sign of a club, and a league that is exploiting an obvious unfair leg-up to no end. It's a free for all, but only for one club.[/quote).
Oh dear, and we obviously take peptides as well!!!
Very fishy things going on here.
Sydney will pay for this one way or another.
And it won't be the AFL paying this time.

I'm just curious as to the loophole that Sydney have already found to allow the final 2-3 years of Franklin's contract to be paid outside of the cap? Perhaps a business interest for life after football could pick up the bill (unofficially, of course).

It's because you're a pack of whingers, not because the whinging was valid.

Oh im sorry, I didn't realize the money we got from good crowds increased our salary cap
Do you think you would get the money from good crowds if you played say only one game per year against Essendon at there home ground Etihad, Carlton at their home ground Etihad, Richmond as the away team?

Totally messes us up. Swans don't need to exposure of Buddy anywhere near as much as we do.
They're already established in the Sydney market. We've yet to get a toehold.
AFL should look to veto this for the good of the league.

I completely agree with you, what has happened is an insult to the Hawthorn Football club and all their stakeholders with a contracted player initiating secret talks with a team 12 months before his contract expired. He has pulled the same move as Ross Lyon but it is a hell of a lot worse.

How can the afl veto it, if we show we can pay him inside the salary cap, what has it got to do with the afl or 16 other afl clubs??
Maybe if he retires the remaining contract will just be paid as is, anyway, or spread over more years, resulting in a smaller yearly cap hit.
It's not the AFL that does the vetoing, it's the other 17 clubs.
Keep in mind though, these are the same clubs that voted, in unanimous conclusion, that they had full confidence in the AFL management not more than 1 month and a half ago.
This is ****ed.
For all the talk about equalization, it's bullshit smokescreens.
The AFL is basically rigging their own competition.

How many times did you play Essendon or Carlton at their home ground?
So you would be happy to play at the MCG every second week in the interests of keeping the competition fair and balanced?
I sincerely hope that you land him. I'm pretty sure we don't want him at Hawthorn given what has transpired today.
The legitimacy of the AFL was bad enough with the drugs saga, now another COLA exploit?
It would be like race organisers letting their favoured runner start 20 metres in front of everybody else before the race even starts.

The Hawks have bent over backwards for him, in every way, including the creation and development of Nena & Pasadena.
I can't believe he'd **** them over like this!!
Well, the AFL has said it will investigate the contract. Has the smell of Tippett MKII already but could be worse.

Jesus, everyone's a victim. Fairness is an ideal that doesn't exist in the world.
I am well aware of the 600k that each club has to pay players. When i posted that 100 players had 3rd party deals like Judd did you said that they didnt have deals that were excluded from a 3rd party salary cap. These 100 players had 3rd party deals that were NOT part of the extra allowance that each club gets. So they were independent of the club's salary cap.
Repeat, Judd was not the only player with a 3rd party deal that was excluded from this 600k sponsorship allowance.
