Sydney retaining star players for less money than other rivals. Good culture or salary cap cheating?

[DeathlyAccurate]

Sydney resigned some of their own players , worth a thread of crap then.

Just looking forward to all the other threads on other teams when they re-sign players?

"Huh? That never happens? Oh ok sorry…"

Irrelevant in a thread about players taking unders but considering all the shit that's happened at Sydney over the years in regards to drugs and other criminal undertakings, that's not really an avenue you want to go down...

Drugs and other criminal undertakings?
Do tell ? Waiting ? Let’s all them.

Hmm, Dale Lewis's comments, as well as the news that got quickly swept under the rug after the 2012 grand finals.

Then there's Michael Talia + what happened with O'Laughlin, if you really must know.

Dale Lewis ? He was referring to a problem league wide for starters. 2012 GF ? Give us a clue please because have no idea what you are alluding to. Michael Talia ? Was in the place for all of 2 minutes and obviously bought his shit with him.

Lmao.

You sound like you work for the Swans.

I bet you think a certain 'Buddy' of yours was clean also.

The club has a drug problem, look at the club history of one new player being caught with a substance being immediately booted

Your club has had massive drug problems over the years, stretching back to the 90s + the report that quickly got hushed after the 2012 GF win but they're hardly an only child in the AFL.

But anyway, not relevant to the thread topic.

If people want to shit talk because they're embarrassed they got called out over their inability to read, then Bay 13 is a little further down the road.

Didn’t think you would have the courage to name incidents you are referring to. Be very careful what you insinuate here bye.
End communication.

Keep referring to 2012 ? What report ?

 

[BloodySwan]

12 Swans players self reported to taking drugs after the 2012 premiership.

I think it's pretty well known now that a very large number of players at all clubs have been taking drugs and it's not a Swans culture issue - but an AFL issue

 

[Freomaniac]

Did you also moan when Geelong kept their core together with their stars re-signing for less money?

But no one complains about freo losing players at the end of 2022 season despite making finals? lol

 

[Freomaniac]

3rd world refugees also flock to Sydney

strange that. Those 3rd world refugees never come to Adelaide. lol

 

[Iago]

Name another elite Port Player... case closed.

All Australians - Dan Houston, Darcy Byrne Jones (I am being facetious with this one) and Allir Allir.

 

[Syd]

Even 3rd world refugees have standards.

 

[Morro]

They've always had a very strong culture, nothing to see here IMO.

Bingo.

Exactly, it's a league wide issue, always has been.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

It’s almost a compliment that a certain West Coast supporter is more obsessed with the Swans than his own cellar-dwelling club.

Almost.

You're really gonna be pissed when we sign Warner for 7 years at $650k with a guaranteed side gig as the nightshift traffic controller for Paddington roadworks.

 

[Eshay187]

Like I said, WCE do it with players. It's not like they try to hide it.

You can quite easily have them pay rent.

If West Coast players are staying rent free in team mates/coaches houses for extended periods on a non-temporary arrangement then it 100% should be investigated as it is obviously a cash-equivalent being paid outside the cap.

Look at what Ben Cousins and Daniel Kerr did. Both spent more than a year in Jail.
If not for being ex afl stars, probably would have spent about 4 years in jail.

So how do you think host families work then?

Are they not unpaid volunteers?

So have someone 'volunteer' their house while someone is working for the club.

What's that saying about glass houses?

Every club has drug issues , but bit rich to support one of the bigger drug mess clubs and get on your high horse.
