Pmart you talk crap! Myrt would be lucky to pay that on their players, spot on about Garoni though tough as nails that bloke, frm the school of hard knocks and seems to be getting the best out the players from all reports.

I reckon I m pretty close to the mark Knives. I know for a fact that Dylan Arnold is on close to 50K - He is handy but 50k??

Would like to know where you get your facts from Pmart, Arnold kicked 50 in an ordinary side last year not a bad effort but i heard he likes his tucker more than training. So i reckon your way off.

Isnt his name Blake Arnold? Dylan was that bloke that went back west cause his girl didnt like it. And i agree . No player in the O&M deserves that amount just to kick a footy around.

Any chance Myrtleford are grooming Garoni to take over from Beams??

I like how when a team has a bit of sucess people start throwing round stupid $ figures that players are getting.
Ryan trained with the Rovers and didn't say a bad word about them and can promise you he didn't ask for money nor is he getting more than base at the Magpies. He is also one of the better blokes you'd meet and will be a great addition to the pies no matter what he plays 2's or seniors. Rovers missed out as it's not always about football ability. No one is talking him up at Wang so we'll see how he goes.
If the Rovers coach was any kind of bloke or coach he probably shouldn't be telling people he's "a seconds player at best". Then sitting scratching his red head wondering why he can't attract people like Ryan when stuff like this gets back to him.
Enjoy hearing where you plucked that $50K for the new Melborne blokes.
I hear an *Interesting Rumour* that the new ruckman (can't remember his name) is on $90,000 this year..

I have heard similar to you glitter. Apparently a top bloke who will be on pretty much base payments. And who decided the culture at wang was more for him. I also recall a few rovers connections bad mouthing leigh symons when he turned his back on them a few years ago to head to the magpies. Gee they were spot on, what a failure he's turned out to be for wang - assistant coach and very important cog in a premiership side.

as for the dollars being spent - who cares, if a club can afford it go for it. I don't see a bracket containing the amount spent on players next to any listing of recent O&M premiers.

Garoni is a strategical genius who's research into opposition teams is 2nd to none what an asset he will be. If he does happen to pull on the boots he could also be very handy across the half backlinewith his ultra intelligent style of play.
I'm with the Epping football club in the NFL and we have been desparately trying to secure his services for a few years now.

 

[raidrboy]

you are telling me raiders spent 150k on everything last year or will this year. if it was last year they had some blokes getting triple what they deserved. i reckon all the dollars quoted on bigfooty should be divided by 2 at least to give a more realistic figure... sometimes divided by 10!

Ok to try to spark this thread lets guess how much each club will spend in 2008, how much the coach gets, how much the highest paid player is on... if you want to name that player up to you.

I'll have a think bout it and post again sometime soon.

Guessing will be all it is as no club is going to make public the amount of money that a player or club is spending unless someone from the inner sanctum of that club is speaking out of turn.

Wow numbers have gone up amazingly over the years. Know from experience that Corowa never paid over 100k in match payments until Tossoll turned up. 2000 flag (long time ago now i realise) cost about 130 (but what a team). 2003 flag cost less than this. Think they spent about 110 last year and the club lost 20K for teh year. Simply haven't got the resources to spend any more than this or they will be out the door. Not sure how Yarra and Myrt get the kanga they do without annoying s..t out of everyone in town. hard to believe some of the figures that are being quoted on here. Rovers would be in a similar boat to Corowa - have no idea of other clubs resources.

I believe most of the local Myrt players play for base so they can spend extra dollars on getting recruits to top up the locals. The years myrt spend at the bottom of the ladder save them a fair amount of coin so they can then afford to get quality recruits. I am pretty sure most other clubs would be like this.
After the 2004 GF which was won by wodonga I heard that they spent around the 400k mark. Any truth???

yarra have 2 extremely wealthy backers in particular. Money never has been and never will be an issue at yarra while they remain involved.

Surely Arnold couldn't be on that money heard he plays for nothing so they can fit Fitzpatrick and Beams in the salary cap

 

[RatherHaveABeer]

Who gives a toss what clubs spend? Good luck to them if they have got it!

geez superstar, sorry my posts arent as substantial as yours. was just trying to add a bit of interest to an otherwise dull thread, no doubt made so by people like yourself. off ya high horse and get contributing ay?

Nope not a rovers fan at all, actually a yarra bloke myself. happen to know a fair bit of the happenings at the hawks though. to answer a few of your questions......
1. never questioned whether kervin was a good bloke or his ability etc etc
2. 50k includes the pies having to pay off the remaining 2 years on smiths contract with the side he played for in the sanfl plus his match payments for the year, and then in addition is hooper's payments. in fact it would probably nearly be more than 50k
3. new rovers ruckman is jake platfuss, a 19-20 year old from finley in the murray league. whilst he is a good player, you'd be a fool to believe he would be on that much. and anyway, i doubt the rovers could afford to pay a player anywhere near 90k
4. from what i hear and have read, macnamara was not interested in luring players to the club as he believed he had a good core of home grown players and a few melb boys already. the addition of local boy karl norman was the icing on the cake for a team that really should have gone further into sept last year

Add interest in what way?Every year we hear the same crap about this blokes on this and this blokes on that.If you want to add interest maybe give us some info on whos playing where and who you think might be the better teams in 2008.Every club has well payed players and some clubs have more money than others that is just part and parcel of footy these days!

 

[bads]

I'd say well done to that red headed coach from the rovers for doing his homework on a potential recruit Like all GOOD coaches they should know the quality of the player and their character before throwing the dollars at them. By the way he must be doing something right there with minimal players leaving and attracting some quality players back to the club.

Ha ha just cos u put numbers in front of your points doesnt make them fact....
smith was only on a 2yr contract and fulfilled one of his yr on the contract so there was no 2yrs left to be paid, also if a person is moving from VFL, SANFL, WAFL to a lower competition there is no transfer fee or having to pay out players contract if its not a mid season transfer (ie Mcmillian to yarra 2 yrs ago cost around 5-10k), if the player wishes to leave he can simply go...and id think ud be pretty hard pressed to find anyone on 50k per yr in the OM.

 

[bads]

My understanding is big fella if u sign a contract for 2 years then you're committed to that club.You cant bail out if your not happy because you're not getting a game or the club is not successful, so there for a club is entitled to a transfer fee especially if money has been paid up front or for the inconvenience placed on that club ie accomm., work ect.

i know for a fact that matt shir is on 180K 3 year deal

 

[Pearce off Jack]

I find that very hard to believe Tiger.That would put him on $3330 a game.

yes well done to the coach. Why would you want a top bloke who is prepared to play for base payments around your club??? The reason he didn't sign for rovers had nothing to do with money and everything to do with what he was told about the respective clubs by 3rd parties. Rovers have indeed done well to attract norman back, but will surely shudder at the sight of jeremy o'brien racking up possessions in a yarra jumper.

anyone prepared to nominate their top 5 for 2008 yet?

 

[Bright Boy]

1. Wangaratta
2. Wodonga
3. Rovers
4. Yarrawonga
5. Nth Albury

 

[Jonathon Brown]

Yep spot on Raffy payments are through the roof these days. Myrtleford are looking to break the mighty million this year, I would have thought pretty standard for most other clubs in the O&M but a big feat for such a small town.

They have also spent close to $100k on their new strength & conditioning coach Gerad Garoni - comes from the old school and a real motivator. Saints in 08.

Cmon you guys Gerard wouldnt get out of bed for that sort of Money.
