Um, no. Contracts were negotiated and then the AFL applied the COLA amount.

Replace “tax” with “cola”
It is particularly important to distinguish between statutory incidence and economic incidence. The statutory incidence of a tax is who the law says pays the tax. That's not the subject of this section. The economic incidence of a tax is who really bears the tax.

Team Captain
Hypothetical:
If Dawson was still with us, who would he replace?

Adams. Plus we wouldn't have signed him in the first place.
The AFL "applied" the amount which we then paid.
James Jordan wouldn’t have been traded in. Shame to not have Dawson and Liz on opposing half back flanks
Gulden, Warner, Heeney & Papley.
For he would have betrayed them all for 30 pieces of silver.
To me Jordan is still the player that I’m most dissapointed in losing. At the time there was no doubt in my mind that he was the best kick in the game. After so long being a hard grafting team, to suddenly be one of the best kicking teams meant that we could slice teams open as we have this year. In my mind Dawson was the key reason for it. For him to shaft Sydney in two ways, one by leading us on acting as he would signon and then by allowing Adelaide to screw us in the trade when he said it was about “returning” home rather than a club, means I took great pleasure in his obvious frustration at the end of last nights match. Especially after we took him late, when he didn’t have an obvious best position and developed him so well. He was so obviously worth a top5 pick.
I know I’m petty, but for me, three years without Adelaide finals is one of the sprinkles on top of the cupcake of our performance this year
I don't watch enough of them but for all the talk of him impacting more through positional change with them...he seems to not impact in the air as much as he did with us.To me Jordan is still the player that I’m most dissapointed in losing.

Hope he is regretful too
I agree, he doesn't have the aerial impact he used to have, but he's made up for that in other areas. He's also their best player and doesn't get the time and space he used to with us. Still prefer the Sydney version though. He seems to fly under the radar so much at the Swans and his class was elite.
It was ALWAYS about family with a garnish of disposable income. Anything else is obfuscation. My bet is that he was going to stay and his family talked him out of it.

The brutal reality for Dawson could be that no team is going to win a premiership with Dawson as their best player in the guts. He is good, but perhaps he is not that good.
I think Sydney thought this, hence playing him on the wing (and I’d argue playing him more to his strengths for overall team performance).

You never regret a decision that prioritises family.
I suspect you are right that he was intending to re-sign and then that made things real for his partner and they had to seriously evaluate what they wanted in life.

Dawson has proved he is good in the guts. His problem is he has little support in the middle.
Adelaide have developed poorly, most of their growth has come from players they've recruited rather than drafted and developed themselves
This, plus his aerial ability, speed, power and kicking ability. I think he was better playing off wing/hb. Doesn't mean that's where he prefers to play though.

I have no real interest in this topic, let bogongs be Burgoynes etc, but can’t understand why the thread title isn’t Grand Theft Jordo. Missed opportunity.
It has been 3 years and why haven't we thought of this yet? Brilliant

Hiding in plain sight.
5 to go in the last he dead set squibbed going back to contest a ball, camera side wing. I know the game was over but not a great look from your captain. Result was an uncontested mark and forward 50 entry.
