Im calling bullshit, that you can fit Danger, Hawkins, Cameron, Guthrie, Duncan, Stewart and Bowes all under the salary cap.
We don't need him. If we were to take any delisted players, I'd take a punt on RCD in the rookie draft being a big-bodied mid and all. Low risk potential high reward pick. He finished the VFL season pretty strongly so there may be something to work with, but I also suspect a couple of other clubs like the Saints and Hawks will be interested.
What before Geelong benefited? Get off the drugs
This is the best game in the world played in the worst competition in the world.
I’m also calling bullshit that GC needed to include pick 7 in the deal to entice a club to take the Bowes contract off their hands. It’s clearly rigged to give Geelong a draft pick to get Jhye Clark.
AFL to consider tweaks for the salary dump
The AFL will review the trade period to consider refining the rules around salary dumping and consider whether to extend the length of elite players’ first contracts from two years to three.
Clubs have argued for, and the AFL will now consider, a change that would require a club in Geelong’s situation in future to have to keep the $825,000 from a Bowes-type contract in their salary cap for two years, not the smoothed out contract amount they are actually paying him.
Troubled by players leaving clubs, especially in emerging markets, to move early in their careers, as well as regard for the inflationary effect of massive salary demands from second-year players for their first unregulated contracts, the AFL will explore whether the initial player contract could, or should, be extended from two to three years, possibly only for first and second round draftees.

And always in hindsight .......it's not really hard to see the possibility of Bowes Contract being "smoothed" over .....it seems the approach though, is to simply wait for the Clubs to complain and suggest changes
No, it's worse... this was deliberately planned to get a desired outcome... then shut the door on everyone else.
Well said
Geelong have a lot of people in the right places
NSW May feel aggrieved that you no longer see them as the most corrupt state! Surely your not serious about the Vics having passed them by.

Wrong Butler mate...
He does have a lot of upside and the youngest in the draft.

We asked 16 AFL prospects who they’d take with Pick 1. The clear favourite wasn’t the unanimous choice
But Cadman wasn’t Phillipou’s nomination for the No. 1 pick.
In perhaps a sign the self-belief and confidence of overseas athletes is beginning to influence Australia’s emerging footballers, Phillipou was one of several prospects spoken to by foxfooty.com.au that indicated he’d take himself with the first selection.
