Still can’t believe Ed nearly gave the game away on third party payments from sponsors on footy classified a few years ago:



Bloody llordo chiming in with nonsense about the bombers, Ed was about to open up Pandora’s box.


That’s the other thing I like about Ed, he has a big mouth and often says the quiet bit out loud

You can only imagine what is going on down at Kardinia Park

Still lot of smoke about how Beams was getting paid (or someone else needing to be paid) when he went back south

Somebody was asking on here the other day how Geelong is able to bring in so many free agents. (I can’t remember who or where, I’ve read so many big footy threads this week.) But here’s your answer.

It’s just appalling!

Didn’t the AFL also allow Collingwood to pay beams outside the cap which is one part of how they recovered from horrendously mismanaging their cap overnight

I wondered how they recovered so quickly from the Treloar/Stevenson/Grundy fire sale a few years ago.
Are there any media sources for this?

That fire sale was a big part of it - if you cut three of your probably top six earners, you get back down quickly.

On what might have been Caro’s last footy classified she openly said “Gee, Cotton On has been good for the Cats haven’t they?” lol.

If everybody knows this, why isn’t their more complaints? Is it because all the clubs are doing it? Surely Gold Coast and GWS wouldn’t be getting much in. Why aren’t they calling for an inquiry?
 
But didn’t they still have to pay those guys’ salaries? Or was it just part of them?
Part of them. They were paying like 300k, while Melbourne/Dogs paid like 500k. It let them still drop like $1m off the books and replaced by guys getting paid around the minimum

Sorry to interupt but no.

The whole reason why Treloar/Stephens/Phillips and Grundy (later) left Collingwood was because of poor list management.
Ned Guy and others thought the Beams payout would be outside the cap. When the AFL ruled otherwise we then found ourselves where we would have been breaching the cap so we either had to dump players for not much in return or end up in a Carlton type situation.

Treloar and Grundy we are still paying where as North and Hawthorn took on our liability in exchange for reduced trade value.

It was reported and confirmed at the time that the AFL ticked off on part of his salary being paid outside the cap due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding his retirement. Was this incorrect?

Dayne Beams - I loved his time playing at the Lions. Things have not been good for him post football and he has torched both clubs he played for.
 


Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere...

Jeff White talks about our centre bounce set up...

I think we really underestimate our coaches at times...
