How do clubs go about their business when they haven't been told the TPP salary cap for 2012- due to the ongoing AFL-AFLPA stand-off ?

The clubs have recently been told what the TPP is going to be. It hasn't gone down well with the AFLPA from what I'm aware.

That is strange. According to SEN this morning they haven't been told.

Is there a link or anything reported as to what the TPP cap is ?

Someone just told me that they heard:

Bate to St Kilda

R. Clarke to Melbourne

Absolute HOGWASH - why on earth would we take Raf Clarke? Laughable suggestion. I've been listening to Trade Week Radio all day and there has been no suggestion whatsoever of Clarke to Melbourne and we wouldn't be stupid enough to do it. He is a dud of the highest order!

Heard Ben Warren is on the trade table and maybe heading our way. His first preference is Geelong because of the surf. Geelong & Melbourne are the two clubs in the mix.

I think he has alot of upside. Still young!

Tom Lynch of St. Kilda is more likely than Raph Clarke.

Lynch is one of Watts' best mates and plays forward.

I think someone has been winding me up.

I'll wait for confirmation next time!

Stating on another site that we are in discussions with Port for their 6th pick.

Do we think this is for O'Meara or are we loading up for a tilt at Goddard/Pendles etc?

Both compo picks could be gone by the end of this year, though with the age of our list this isn't a bad thing as we need an experianced player

First post...nice rumour.

How would we get pick 6 ? Port would have to be crazy.

Dunn is hard at it. I would like to see him at the club in 2012.

???? HAHAH!!!

That's the last thing I'd say he is. He's got mongrel, and certainly a mouth. But there's nothing "hard" about him. Can you picture him going up in a pack a la Cloke/Riewoldt/Riewoldt/Hall... any of the 17 team's main targets? No. He's a niggler. Not a completely useless player, and I reckon has a high footy IQ... but hard at it he is not.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
