That in not correct. Only head coaches can have half their player payments outside the cap. Assistant playing coaches don't, their whole payment goes towards the cap.
Yea you’re correct and it’s only 1 “coach” that can get 50% of the coaching part outside the cap, but they might use Trent as that “coach” who is nominated. 😕
 
I heard the EDFL are investigating their salary cap as we speak
If they get caught they'll cop a bigger punishment than keilor did
And why a bigger punishment than keilor. Keilor won a premiership on the back of heavy recruiting and payments. No club cares now as they get a slap on the wrist.

Deer Park are coming hard. Good for the competition to see new clubs up there….They are pretty loyal and smart business club by the sounds.
 
Here comes Deer Park, anyone doubting they’ll play finals now?
I wouldn’t have them in my top 5 at this stage, I don’t think the recruits being that much improvement. Smart will kick goals but go missing against the big teams, Quick been a champion but he looked pretty slow and very gettable last season. They will have points issues and lack too much depth to push the top sides for me. Maybe fighting for the last spot along with Greenvale and Airport West.

Yep.
It's not as though McKenzie to Deer Park was a secret either so im not sure why it's cause to reassess.
They should be stronger but so too will the sides they finished a fair way behind..
 
How is Smart a one pointer? Last time he played at DP he was a 2. Then left to play a higher division for 2024 at EK and now playing against old club seeing DP and EK both in premier. Doesn’t that mean he would be back to 3? He isn’t a DP junior or played 40 games otherwise he would have been a 1 pointer back in 2023.

Smart played 21, 22 and 23 with DP. He returns to DP as a 4, but you subtract 1 point for each year of previous service, making him a 1-pointer. Pretty simple and clear that being a handy 1 pointer player!
 
How the uck can a side be investigated for salary cap breach when the season hasn't even started and I dare say no player has received any match payments. I believe you play then get pay not like at the local bordello.
I’m advised the person making the comment was excused at a recent decision making bird meeting due to conflict of interest

The salary cap cup should be an interesting game tomorrow. Both teams near full strength I believe. Heidelberg maybe the biggest spending club going around. Obviously do it a bit smarter than Keilor.

No doubt the white van is also partaking in pre season trials. Chitty chitty bang bang as it backfires up hill and down dale with the crew a year older and the beer bought on special nearing it's use by date. How much will the booze out of the white van be this year given the good ole salary cap will not need a contribution this year?.

I know it's praccy matches, but Stars beat Hoppers Crossing (reigning WRFL Premiers) by 30 points today in a great game.

Not sure if that says much about the quality of the WRFL and the Deerpark trophy cabinet.

Maybe the Stars have gotten a lot better over the off season.

Time will tell.
