You can let him know that when he calls you for approval of his career choices.

Yeah right - I'm sure if you were unemployed & got offered $200,000 for a year's work you would knock it back on principle.

Why?    They will have get their top up players from somewhere.    Another year of an AFL wage beats the hell out of wages in the minor league.

 

understand all that, bd. it is just a subjective opinion. i'm not going to castigate him or anything, it's just my gut feeling, ok

Do you think they'll be able to offer that?  With the amount of expenses they are already having to go through my gut feeling is that they may be only able to offer rookie type wages.  That's just my assumption though.

No worries DC........We differ in our opinions.    Would be boring if we all agreed on everything. 

Good on him for having a go.  

I know that if I was a recently retired AFL player, who'd just finished up a 10 year + career, I'd be fat as a horse (ala Brian Lake).  Well done Russ on staying in shape.

It raises an interesting question regards total player payments. The 12 missing would make up a very significant chunk of the cap.

Essendon may ultimately benefit financially due to concessions on top ups.

Interesting.

Actually , it poses an interesting question - do Essendon next year still have to pay 92% of the salary cap ? If they do a lot of very ordinary players are going to be paid wayyyyyy too much money.

 

Edit - McQueen - it appears we were interested at exactly the same time......

Beat you by a nanosecond. :)

If Crossy is fair dinkum about going to the dark side, they must get rid of him now.

He is privy to game plans and surely he must have signed a confidentiality statement.

Gill said there salary cap would be increased. He didn't elaborate whether the AFL would help with the payment of top up players.

I believe Essendon should pay for any Top ups.

Pretty sure that he's been playing up in Darwin, so it would make sense that the Bombers would target top-up players who have some fitness levels ahead of those who haven't done a proper preseason.

Doubt that he'll make a huge difference, so good luck to him.

If he can get another year of ALF footy out them and take some money off them......Well why not?

Do they play ALF footy on Melmac?

Can we donate Terlich and Matt Jones to them?

Yes but we want two replacements

presumably the bit about only being 12 months?

 

Does anyone remember as well as me the day Jamar took on Bellchambers who used him like one of those springboards they use to do slam dunks at the basketball ?? I was on the first level of the MCC members and could have looked Bellchambers in the eye.

I wouldn't be troubled about the Russian. I am more worried that the AFL website is suggesting Daniel Cross as one of Essendon's "top-up" players. This cosy top-up arrangement is going to impact on every Club to their detriment in addition to the damage caused by the banned players at other Clubs.

I don't understand how that could now happen as Cross is contracted in a developmental role at the club.

Understandably he wanted to play on last year and I'm sure he is still top-notch from a physical stand point, but he would be sacrificing an on-going job if he decides to play on for one more year the Essendon.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
