Great work by Skobs to get him a 120k job through the network. Helps the club and also sets Jamar up for a long career post footy hopefully. Everyone's a winner.

Well, everyone at SKOBS. Not sure about opposition rucks!

AFL average salary $260k. Suggest Jamar would get average salary at Essendon. $140k extra to get knocked about... He may have copped a few knocks to the head already but surely he would be more than considering should Woosha come knocking!
I'd expect he would have been taken as a rookie by North at best (in lieu of Majak perhaps). Makes sense if he was to be there as insurance for Todd falling over - gets elevated to senior if Todd is LTI.
Rookies only get $58k base plus match payments. Would have been well short of the SKOB deal.
I expect Essendon would be a similar proposition.

Yeah, Rookie status I would think and NO real pre season to speak of.......
Definitely Rookie salary at Essendon as all suspended players are still included in the cap.
Based on comments yesterday, top up players will be paid outside the salary cap. So Jamar is a good chance to be a bomber this year.

Either way we are all arguing a futile point, much to the dismay of Premier ruckman the big Russian will be making his mark!
Any word on the Uni teams? Always quiet this time of year with the usual grumblings of a "gun form the country" coming in

Isn’t Jamar a part time ruck coach at the Bombers? That might explain it.
Are you suggesting he is in line for a ‘top up’ contract?

They will probably still want to limit these payments, might need the money for other expenses.

I thought you didn't engage in rumour and innuendo Maxy? Chris Johnson to the Bombers? Why the Jamar obsession? So many incorrect assumptions on here it's laughable, I haven't read one accurate other than Roosters.
How is Jamar's spotting at Essendon an assumption?
I see Rohan Bail has bobbed up at Crabtrees Real Estate with fellow St Kevins import Steve Salopek.

You know exactly why Brissel... Because we are sh1t scared and envious of being rolled by Jamar and the SKOB juggernaut this season!
Bails relationship with Trengove nearly had him at the Lions but they couldn't pull off the real estate gig they promised. The Swiss backed Skobs delivered!
He was hawking himself all over the place. As well as Collegians he entertained De La but they could not land him an RE job and that did not involve some Saturdays work. Was also very, very close to committing to OMs but SKOBs got their man (or one of their many men!). He will be one of the SKOBs “week on week off” players under the new points system.
My point exactly. Mind you they will be that loaded with talent they could leave 8 of their best dozen out and still win the thing!
Double edged sword is great recruiting. End up having a lot of quality players playing reserves. Just depends on how patient they can be before they leave to go elsewhere to play senior footy

Seems like a strategy that will either boom or bust (or boom then bust).
Bail was basically signed and sealed when he began working at Cameron's real estate (affiliated with OM's) but left and went to Crabtrees.
Not too dissimilar to the Lindsay Gilbee fiasco at Uni Blues

Presume will happily entertain a shot with bombers if it comes his way too. Fit as a fiddle.
Didn't the Gilbee situation prove super beneficial in the long term for the Cards! How is the job at the school going for him now?
History will show that moving away from home grown talent does not work. Haileybury being the exception, but where are they now.
Happy to sit back and watch on as this year unfolds. Will be intriguing.

Cant recall OH having any success with home grown talent. Didnt know Voss and Leowe were old boys.....
Your right about "where are they now"?
