Jibroni 5,057 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 North seem to have more salary cap room which makes it interesting; wouldnt be surprised if the Pies make a play if they dont get Lynch. Quote
SFebes 4,884 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Clubs have to pay 95% of the cap? So if North had a war chest last year, where did that money go? And why is it spare again? Anyone explain? Edited August 15, 2018 by MSFebey Quote
dimmy 1,308 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Have heard one scenarion ( from a Geelong supporter) that Geelong could get Gaff. I said they would have trouble with Salary cap. His reply was Kelly wants to go home (do not know why when WC & Freemantle did not want a bar of him over the years). Taylor may be retiring , Ablett is not costing then much and Menzel wants out. So by throwing in a Trade may swing a deal. Far fetched !!!, but it is amazing how some clubs work their way around things. (Like being a promotions officer for a large sponsor) Quote

"All-Australian Gaff clearly is in demand. The Kangaroos believe it’s between them and West Coast and while St Kilda is making noises about wanting to talk to Gaff — and any player who has a pulse, for that matter — they accept he isn’t going to call Moorabbin home." Expand Have you heard so from a credible source or just general noise? The noise around Melbourne getting him has gone very quiet! (Not necessarily a bad thing though) Quote

Expand Last year the sal cap went up by $2+m per annum. North didn't use it all. On 15/08/2018 at 07:07, MSFebey said: Clubs have to pay 95% of the cap?

So $630k becomes $1.26m then $1.71m. So they could easily have a 'war chest' of around $1.0 - 1.5m just from stockpiling. Not sure how many years it can be stockpiled - it used to be 3 years but don't know now. 2 Quote

Lucifers Hero 40,725 Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 A guy called Brad Hardie reckons Gaff is a good chance to go to Ess: "Right now the Bombers might be the most intriguing of them.
