How is it always, and I literally mean ALWAYS Geelong? This is an honest question. Do they pay these players $100,000 a season or something?
Because Geelong is the best AFL club
 
I still don't understand how Geelong got pick 7 plus Bowes for free.

How was that deal ticked off?

Lower clubs (North, Bombers, Eagles, Tigers) would have taken Bowes and his salary.. Pick 7 was never required.
Hocking demanded it.

He chose the Cats.

Pick 7 was to take his whole salary off their books. The Suns don’t give a **** about draft picks, they have their academy. Happy to give them away.

Not overpaying “good” players “elite” player money is an excellent starting point.
Been that way since the 00’s Premiership years. Very strict salary structure in place.

Guys know if they value money most they can walk…just saw Holmes and Stengle turn down more money to stay.
Players know that Cats will not bottom out and will do whatever they can to put them in a position to succeed during their career and after it.
