Ok...this has me muddled.  A player is banned , but is still technically at a club. If so how can the Dockers table an offer for Hooker ?

Its to do with unused sal cap being carried over to the next year or two as clubs do not have to pay 100% of cap each and every year.

Edits: I think there are limits to how far a club can go (maybe 95%) and over how many years a club can miss the 100%, to avoid clubs building great war chests in their sal caps.

As I understand it suspended efc player salaries are in their cap but salaries of top-up players are not.

Can unused be carried over/ I have never heard that one before. My understanding of the benefit was that it allowed the clubs to front end some contract this year to a greater extent which opened up salary cap space over the next few years depending on how the structure the contracts. The end result is the same where clubs have more money to spend but carrying it over seems illogical and against the whole idea of the cap (this is the AFL though).

Heard KB and Smith on SEN this morning saying it is time the media stopped the daily updates on what the EFC cheats are doing. Paraphrasing they said the media should be into the coming season not on this lot.

It is hard to disagree.

How on earth does it help recruitment when their salaries go straight back into the cap come November?!

I guess we could do a deal to pay, say Hogan, an addition $450k this year in advance which leaves us with more room next year.....we had budgeted to pay JK that money anyway...

Wait wait wait wait wait.

A high school? AFL players banned for drug use ARE TRAINING AT A [censored] HIGH SCHOOL?!?!

After the AFL specifically told schools they SHOULD NOT employ any of the banned players?

I mean, I know they're not being employed, but still, that's horribly contradictory.

Makes me so angry.

What sort of example does this set? Someone needs to get the students in that school to take action I reckon. The administration is clearly ok with it. The students should galvanise and say that it isn't good enough having drug cheats training on their ovals.

They trained at St Bernards where Dustbin Fletcher was a student. The school is obviously just helping out a former student's mates in a time of need. Showing a little compassion to the downtrodden.

Presumably Freo are dealing with Hooker's manager. Is there anything that prevents Hooker and his manager getting together?

And the issue about whether Hooker might leave or not needs to be read in the context that he's a free agent at the end of the year. If he hadn't been suspended it's hard to imagine Hooker not being of interest to a number of clubs...so the only real difference is that (a) he's missing a year of footy and (b) his level of satisfaction with his current club might be diminished by his current circumstances which might encourage him to leave. (OK, he's also guilty of taking illegal supplements, too.)

This whole saga gets weirder the longer it goes on.

Now if you are found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs you get paid in full to not attend your workplace. You continue to train with a convicted cheat at a school containing children and all that is ok! but if a player tackles another and they might get hurt that is a $1000 fine.

Now I get it cheat, lie, use PED's put the game into disrepute but for christ sake don't tackle hard.

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Choke - the school is St Bernard's - I doubt if anyone there has any doubt that the Bombers were innocent victims of a huge conspiracy by AFL, ASADA, WADA, CAS, ISIS, the UN and the Catholic Church (well, maybe not the latter).

I don't know anything about the school.

Except that they must have some pretty iffy ethics classes.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
