Mate dont let common sense get in the way of a good yarn. 100% correct.
Probably the most reasonable reply I have ever read from an opposition supporter regarding the Carlton list and salary cap.
I can accept that given past indiscretions Carlton luring quality players will always bring a few cries of disapproval from the unwashed masses (read Collingwood and Richmond supporters
), but if people look at things logically I think its pretty clear.Many can't believe that we can fit Judd, Fevola, Stevens, Waite, a handful of mid range players and a string of kids under the cap.
The same poeple don't blink an eye at Geelong with Ablett, Bartel, Corey, Selwood, Ling, Enright, Chapman, Mooney, Scarlett, Ottens and Johnson all apparently playing for team success.
Same goes for the Hawks list...and no doubt a few other teams as well. List management is perhaps the most important facet in the game. Look at Melbourne...stone, cold motherless last, the most ordinary list by a long stretch, and apparently paying out 100% of the salary cap.

From the great unwashed i agree with you on this, the problems will come when the kids want their slice of the pie and then we will see the list management guys earn their pay. Its not like you guys have many veterans where you can claim half of their contract under the salary cap.
We will suffer from the same problem soon as our "kids" want a slice of the pie. Gold Coast entering the arena wont help with salary cap pressure either.
The thing with Hawthorn and Geelong is that theyre not paying ridiculous amounts ($1mill a year) to any of their players. They didnt have to lure their players from other clubs (bar Ottens and Mooney).
The only big name player we have 'lured' is Judd. Stevens fell to us in the PSD. The point remains that Geelong have 8-10 players who could/should demand big dollars. Carlton have 3.
Lets face it Carlton will only pay him $200k per year, whilst the $400k per year will be paid by Visy for promotional activities!!

Wow - that's original.
No way in hell they could get one of Warnock and O'Keefe let alone both of them, serious question marks
but true!!
We are back in town and good I love it.
FYI. Fev goes onto the vetrans list soon and Judd has a massively front ended deal so will not be on that much in his final years

Here how the story goes.
ROK invites his mates to come up from Melbourne for his engagement earlier this year. He then turns the beer off after two hours and insists they have to pay for the rest of the night.
His battling mates on 50k per year fly up to see him, stay in a hotel then have the beer turned off by their "mate" on 500k per year, so he doesn't have to pay too much.
One thing I know for sure, he will be holding out for every dollar he can get....from whomever!

They definately can, O'Keefe wouldnt do that to Sydney either, its ridiculous to suggest the deal will be pick 40 or Bentick or whoever. IF a trade is done to get O'Keefe to Carlton it will be a pick 6 or same value sort of trade.
However I hope posters here realize the same thing regarding Warnock and Carl/Melb. There will be no Veale Deal, it left the AFL board red faced last time and Angry Andy wont let it happen again.
As a supporter Id say No, its not a completely outrageous deal I would just much prefer to keep Murphy, he will be an important part of our midfield for many years.
Seriously, we have so many kids that wouldn't be on much money and still lacking in depth. Still amazes me that a team sitting 11th chock full of kids is questioned before a Hawthorn or Geelong with their depth of talent.
I concur.
Geelong have 9 ALL AUSTRALIANS and other stars. Win almost every game they play.
Carlton have 2 ALL AUSTRALIANS and a bunch of good young kids.
Its pretty simple how the Blues can afford Okeefe etc um we have room!
If Carlton were to get Okeefe, I would offer our pick 6 but would want to swap that with their 1st pick.
We should also offer a player like Thornton or a Fisher.
I would also do a straight swap - Waite for OKeefe

There is NO correllation between All Australians and how much of the salary cap a team pays!!!
Melbourne FC is a prime example. They have Feck all good players, finished 16th, but still pay 100% of their salary cap in wages!!!!!!!
******GO FIGURE*******
Melbourne had a number of players on their list whose value increased due to finals participation in previous years eg Neitz, Robertson, Holland, Bruce, Green, White etc. Keeping these guys & others, happy would have consumed a good 'chunk' of their salary cap.

What a joke pick fourty? Sydney would throw him to the wolves before accepting that. Let him tough it out at Melbourne.
