Pick 8 for pick 3 and Whitfield (salary dump)?

Pick 3 and next years first for JHF

 

[Schulzenfest]

GWS are losing Taranto, Hopper, Bruhn and Hill in one offseason, surely they're the last club that needs to salary dump?

 

[FourthTimeAround]

It's absolutely outrageous that last year's premier is going to be able to bring in pick 7 and a good player for the cost of a bit of salary cap. Gold Coast should be ashamed of themselves.

You know any club can take advantage of this, essentially trading in a high draft pick by replacing retiring players salaries with an incoming fringe 22 players salary.

We retired Gray and Motlop, but we choose to use that space for resigning younger players on the rise. Geelong have taken the model and flipped it, an older list that they’ve already paid their dues to and now retain on a percentage of what they could be worth on the open market. Retiring players who don’t free up much cap space, but they don’t need to pay a lot to keep the ones they’ve got, happy.
Embedded their advantages into a model that probably only they could get away refreshing each year without exorbitant dollars required.

AFL need to have a very good look at the Geelong salary cap and how players are getting paid.

 

[Jonts]

Grapes have told me that bowes has picked geelong

Edit

I should clarify
Ive been told Essendon dont think theyve got him

Just call me C4

 

[TazD]

Just call me C4

How about Roller?

GWS and GCS working as designed.

Same as the drugs, the don’t WANT the answer.

Whitfield, Kelly and Coniglio all got huge long term contracts in recent years, and Greene, Ward and Haynes would also be getting paid heaps.

[FishingRick04]

Yeah seems odd most deals with these two Expansion teams are with Vic sides!

The crazy thing is, with salary dumps in other leagues, the incentive of the pick is to reflect the pain inflicted by taking on the traded contract.

Instead, Geelong get a nice player they can pay over 4 years instead of 2, and cop pick 7 for their ‘trouble’.

Just another competitive imbalance the AFL will ‘fix’ after a heartland club has benefited.

Yes, the fact they can renegotiate the length of the contract is BS. Good luck to Geelong, they are the rules. The rules suck

for a second rounder is way overs. He is worth a 3rd rounder at best.

If one of your players nominated the suns you are laughing because they will pay overs out of desperation.

He’s basically Tom Logan, with dirty acts substituting for kamikaze acts.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Yes, but giving up our points for 15 made sense, giving up our points for 21 makes far less sense.

Personally I suspect we would've put ourselves in the running for 15, but our picks were only about a 400 point gain for Brissy, GWS at approx 600 points have likely just outbid us.

Brisbane didn't gain points for their father-son matching in the trade with GWS. They lost points. They traded a 2022 first round pick for a 2022 second round pick. They gain more points next year to be stripped for their deficit.

 

[Gold Rozee]

If Ratugolea is gettable I would be prioritising this over Rioli. If a deal can’t be done take the risk and get Rioli to nominate for preseason draft. He would then nominate the contract port has offered- doubtful any club before ports pick would take a player that doesn’t want to play for them.

​

 

[Grave Danger]

Brisbane have now got sufficient points to cover bids on their F/S picks, but the Dunkley trade looks further away than it did before today - the Dogs might have to settle for next year's first unless Brisbane do some other trades. Wouldn't it be a shame if Dunkley was left at the altar again.

Except for Aaron Long and Jack Hombsch

 

[Us against the rest]

Potential trade may be on the cards, pick 8, Bonner and a future first for pick 2 and Rioli off Wet Toast, then use pick 2 for JHF.

 

[bomberclifford]

So why couldn't Gold Cost renegotiate the length? Seems to be all in favour of Geelong with no cost to them.

We’d have to assume he or GC didn’t want to?

Funny that.

 

[DazzaTys]

Now that Geelong have taken on Bowes's salary dump, they can salary dump Ratugolea to us for pick 58.

And GWS can salary dump 15 and Haynes to us for a future second.

I’d like to see Port get the Rat trade early before any of the Melbourne teams get in his ear.
