Yeah around $50K more per season from 3rd party sponsorship more which was actually within the salary cap but wasn't declared and you don't think if Brisbane or GCS offered him $1M in 2009 he wouldn't have left then? He started to show he was developing into a good player but not even GCS would have been that stupid to offer him that much money.

You're entitled to this wrong opinion but can you please stop polluting this thread with it. Seems like a weird stance to take anyhow.
Ah yes that old myth "Oh we actually had the salary cap space for it".
Good theory, absolutely no proof.
We cheated because we didn't have the cap for him.
Occams razor.

You don't know what the offers were in 2009. All we know is that other clubs offered him enough that the club felt the need to offer an illegal inducement lest they lose him.
It is unarguable that his 2009 was a superior season, and the marginal difference in the team's performance does not justify the asinine opinion that he didnt break out until 2012.
You were wrong, you must know it by now, and you're digging in because you substantially overestimate your capacity to wing your way out.

Just rewatched the game. Absolutely loved how Filthy lifted in the last quarter when the intensity was up. I actually felt more comfortable with him in the ruck compared to ROB.
Looking forward to seeing him play 10 plus years for us.

Disagree, we lost to the Hawks by 1 point away.
You think the 3rd party payment from Balfours was $100K+ per season you are nuts.

Reality doesnt require your consent.
That's not what I said, I said we didn't have the cap space for him.
Did you read my post AT ALL?
We lost to the Hawks (eventual premier) by 1 point away and Tippett played very well that game (thanks to Walker commanding their best tall defender).
Aren't you implying we payed him $100K+ from 3rd party payments to make up the cap squeeze? It's been reported we were under the salary cap for that season.

But more so, people shouldnt underestimate the value of the 'trade to a team of your choice' inducement.
Having a guarantee that he could be traded at below market value to whichever club he chose created the environment in which he was most able to leverage his position for salary: the team that was going to end up buying him knew that they only had to spend salary cap assets and not trade draft assets or players in order to acquire him. That created the capacity to extract a premium in salary.

Can we not derail a thread about an absolute gun into one about an absolute tool?

It wasnt very interesting before hand, let's be honest.
"I reckon he's like Mark Madden"
"No, no, I reckon he's like Steven Milne if he was four feet taller and wasnt a piece of shit"

A bigger deal out west.
I was shocked Danniher got 750k from Brisbane, but it makes sense now that I factor in all of those deep finals runs Essendon went on.
This is a point where you need to dig upwards. After all, ask yourself this one question, is 55 a bigger number then 39?
$750K isn't $1M (and if they can get Daniher fit he is easily worth $750K if he can recapture his AA form) and ask yourself did you see Tippett as potentially developing into an elite player end of 2009 or 2012?

Liked for this bit
The big question: is it pronounced Tilthorpe or Thilthorpe?
