Think Tank Caro applauds the AFL approaching Geelong for some advice on properly running an organisation

[Elmer_Hauser]

I trust Geelong's list managers to have planned for it with more thought than some BigFooty nuffy has

I was told sometime ago with someone with connections at an AFL club that Essendon is going all out to get Reid, their offer (money, jobs for family members, reap estate) trumps anything else Geelong and any other club can offer..

This has been a 2 year plus courtship by * for Reid.

Look I would honestly prefer Harley at Geelong than Essingtin (esp as zackah is going to be unbearable) but they are going out all the way to get their man.

Which doesn't mean shit.

North St Kilda offered Finn Callaghan $17m and it didn't amount to shit

Are they going after Reid? Sure. Will they get him? Who knows.

Essendon can't (legitimately) offer him the chance of finals success unless something drastic happens.

Geelong is on the way down with the age demographic of your list

Essendon has work to do on their list but things are turning around since Dodo left.

Whoops - correct..They're both shit at landing big fish

Not every club can land a big fish like Adam Treloar, Jeremy Cameron or Ryan Gardner.

Nick Haynes recruiting puts it up a lot.

Anyhow we have decided to hit the draft hard before Tassie come in

Finally we are not interested in trading for Harley Reid.

Neither do your assertions

Why don't you start a Fred about Harley going to GeeLOL - afraid it will get backfired?

 

[Scully2GWS UMAD]

I keep telling you he is Essingtin bound

Deal with it.

Yes your statement reassures me

....maybe you should be interested?

Sorry kids:

AFL boss Andrew Dillon has described the amount of money AFL players are getting from third-party deals outside the salary cap as “immaterial” compared to what they are paid by clubs under the cap...

Dillon said third-party deals had been part of the AFL landscape for 20 years and were “highly regulated and highly scrutinised” with the clubs and players well aware of their obligations.

“What I will say on third-party agreements ... because they are all disclosed to the AFL – like the quantum of them in the scheme of the salary cap, is quite ... it’s so immaterial.”

Dillon said Bailey Smith’s Cotton On ambassador role deal would be judged as a third-party deal (and outside the total player payments) so long as the club was not linked to him signing it. Smith was with Cotton On some years before he joined the Cats.

Dillon suggested that if the essential elements of the Cotton deal did not change from his Bulldogs arrangements, it would be fine (and remain outside the salary cap).

“Whatever he does with Cotton On, as long as it’s not linked to his playing contract, as long as the club’s got nothing to do with bringing it together, and as long as there’s no club IP used as part of what Bailey’s doing with Cotton On, so there’d be no reason for to change.”

That makes sense. You're not interested in winning games either

I don't think Harley has shown so far that he is worth being paid the most massive contract in AFL history he will get at Essingtin.

And yes he will be a Bomber. It's locked in

What a thrill it must've been for the AFL to see how an exemplary organisation operates. No doubt we'll see some 'Geelong practices' adopted by head office in the not too distant future.

Oh but they already have if you take the AFL-Scott brothers-Steve Hocking-Rules Committee conspiracy theory seriously. I know I do

 

[JoseMourinho]

we'll still randomly beat those cats at kardinia park though.

Yeah, I know

Just don't beat us by too much. I don't want to be below Collingwood

They're going to "equalise" the comp by making our world-class staff help other clubs

Thought this was an impressive question asked by a no doubt great journo at Scotty's presser today. I'm paraphrasing a bit here but Scotty's response was along the lines of "Shit yeah, we're the best and everyone else is crying like little bitches!".

I hear Scotty's actual response (edited afterwards) was:
