According to this article there is no such thing as a veterans list anymore.

http://www.afl.com.a...73/default.aspx

It's an old article so not sure if it's still valid.

Veteran's rule - The Age

The rule offers clubs the opportunity to pay a veteran about $100,000 that doesn't count in its salary cap.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

No, we've failed because we haven't signed any good players and lots of other teams already have. Simple enough?

Well would you like to tell me just who these players are?

Knights Richmond, Goddard Essendon, then there's ... perhaps you can tell me just who has signed and not according to SEN actually signed.

[stuie 7,374]

The Filth are going to have to have a garage sale if this all happens.

This is where we pounce.

Stuie. Sit down & wait...quietly.

Ummmm you know these guys will be on at least 2-3 year contracts yeah? You wanna sit around and wait for that long?

[Jordie_tackles 354]

It's only been quiet for us though. Everyone else is having a crack!

Did you just comment on our facebook page complaining stuie?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,087]

pparently every one is a pie today...

We really cant let Wellingham got to west coast for pick 19 - push hard on that one i reckon...

[PaulRB 6,150]

They've gotta clear 750K for next year if Tippet comes in...

Love a Sale

Haha yeah, I'm a bit frustrated and emotional about my beloved MFC today...

what??

The Filth have a cap like all other clubs...Right.

To pay for these new signings they are going to have to shed some solid A-, B+ soldiers...Right.

Settle down Stuie. This is panning out just as i thought.

To be honest, most of the players who's names have been kicked around would be good enough to play for us next year... And so far the "credible" rumours have all been pretty spot on, Lynch to Collingwood, Goddard to Essendon, Tippett to leave...

1) I'm not a big fan of trading for contracted players, it means the previous club dictates their minimum worth

2) I was really hoping for more FA action so we don't lose any draft picks in trades

Just a bit?

There's two and half weeks left stuie and Tim Harrington just said we are interested in many players both KP and mids (cards. Close. To. Chest)..

Frustrated you are and you could end up looking like KB in two weeks time if you don't chill.

[Ouch! 2,138]

Care to let us in on it Dr Evil?

[Viney12 196]

It's only been quiet for us though. Everyone else is having a crack!

Who are Adelaide picking up? West Coast? Hawthorn? North? Bulldogs? Port? GC? GWS? Saints?

Haven't heard boo about them either

And it's day 2 in a ONE MONTH process - just calm down

If we'd signed up a few players day one, you'd probably complain they're duds anyway

That wasn't my question though was it?

Lynch signed yet has he?

Tippett has made his intentions known for the last 3 or 4 years and has a clause in his contract that the Crows have to clear him to is club of choice; has he signed with anyone yet?

Honestly, the 4 confirmed offers of FAs so far are Pearce (who's to say we didn't table an offer); Knights (he was headed to Richmond no matter what - plus has struggled in the last few years); Chaplain (turnover merchant and we're not in need of a tall back) and Goddard (2 out of 9 years he's been good, the rest he's been ordinary and not for $800k pa. thanks)

So what more publically should we be doing, just to appease impatient supporters?

I think I just upset my appendix with that dose of laughter.

the Filth were always going to be front runners. Who they shed from their list is the interesting part.

West Coast - likely Wellingham

Hawthorn - made the GF, don't need much

North - likely Caddy

Bulldogs - after Dawes

The rest are more at a draft stage I would have thought

Lynch paperwork has gone in this arvo.

Haven't even heard a rumour about Tippett coming to us. 0 chance.

I hear ya mate, but clubs like Richmond, Essendon, Collingwood are all being aggressive, where are we?

[Ouch! 2,138]

Shhhh... we are like the ninja!

... or playing ninja's in the sandpit out the back with GWS & GC

Not quite sure yet :D

An old bull and a young bull stand on a hillside, overlooking a pasture. The young bull says to the old bull, “Hey, let’s run down and blank one of those heifers.” The old bull replies, “let’s walk down and blank ‘em all."
