Traded Jack Bowes [Traded to Geelong with #7 for F3]

[Shai]

I would be guessing that the Cats offer for the last 2 years of a 4 year deal was say 300 per year with the deal to be smoothed over 4 years. I am guessing the Hawks would be more like 500 per year for years 3 and 4 with no smoothing or maybe even a little from loading. So about 400 k more than Geelong, maybe a bit more even.

Thats more money than Bowes could have ever dreamed about. And in the back of his mind would be that he could not work back to best 22 at the Suns this year. If I was his manager I'd have to say its Hawthorn all the way.

He is best 22 at Suns injury free and a former top 10 pick.

I still dont undestand this potential trade from gc point of view

His manager would most likely push him to the highest contract value, his manager gets paid a percentage.

After tax it breaks down to the difference between taking home ~$330k or ~$380k a year. ~$50k a year is still a lot of money but whether or not it's the difference for where you spend your next 4 years remains to be seen. If all the other elements are equal I'd take the extra 15% take home pay.. but other elements aren't equal so it's down to Jack to weigh it all up still.

Cats. Well played.

 

[Shai]

I don't take everything Cal says as gospel but flipping YES! if Jack has chosen the Cats

Character flaw of having no character.


Can you count to potato?

light hearted ribbing dearest Abasi

Mitch Cleary running with Geelong. Normally he's got good info when it comes to us.

 

[Duskfire]

I trust Mitch but I will wait for official announcement before I get too excited.

 

[spudmaster]

Well played.
Time to move onto the next salary dump target for us Hawkers.

 

[FRUMPY]

Well played Geelong - fair trade period if they get the players/picks rumoured.

Watch Colingwood Fans and GWS Fan go Bruhn/Henry is worth 7

 

[MadMaxx]

Essendon have a coach. For how long before he crosses with Dodo and Sheedy is a point of conjecture

Depends if you consider Brad Scott a coach...

Last time I post intel from my sauce again lol.

Anyhow well played Catters, I think this means Geelong miss out on Ollie Henry though

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Well, I genuinely did not expect that

Bruhn pick 12 and 30 games.....pick 7 isnt out of the question

How so? Split pick 7 into two late firsts, one for Bruhn, one for Henry

This gives us more to play with, not less. 18 will get Henry if need be.

Yep

My source close Geelong was adamant that the $$$ difference was enough for him to pick Hawthorn

 

[hawkman]

Geelong going to give back a 1st or 2nd?

 

[Sector 7G]

There is some thing wrong with the league when GCS can't afford to have Bowes on their list but the premiers can.

Just give him the block of land next to his brother.

Will be interesting watching how many games he plays next couple of years.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Worst case scenario for the AFL. Surely pick 7 can't be in play from a duty of equalization perspective.

 

[VinnieB]

Watch Colingwood Fans and GWS Fan go Bruhn/Henry is worth 7

Henry + our 1st for pick 7.
But realistically, will be interesting to see if they trade it to GWS for pick 12 and 15.
