God I hate Geelong.

Edit - also, what does this mean for their pursuit of Brad Crouch?  Surely they can't get both?

Tigers will now pounce

The salary cap is a rort.  I know Geelong pay outside of it, and I'm sure other clubs are in the same boat.  Sadly, there will never be a perfect system.

Big claim. Spill the beans.

    If GWS force a trade Geelong can use two first round picks and effectively get him 'cheaply'.

    Geelong have picks 11, 13 and 18/19.  They can give 11 and 13 to GWS  (which they got on the back Tim Kelly (a 2018 2nd rnd pick #24)).  See below.

    Very astute trading.  They were preparing their war chest for 2020 FA's with a few targets in mind (Viney, Crouch and Cameron) so if forced to trade they had the currency.

    ...The pick swap with GCS was borderline legal but the AFL ok'd it.

    If they use 11 and 13 it will be 3 players (Cameron, Stephens, Evans) for the original price of Kelly +/- steak knives. They will do even better if they don't use both picks in a Cameron trade.

    I hope GWS (and Adelaide if Geelong go for Crouch) force trades to soak up those 3 first round draft picks.

    It’s our own fault we are not a destination club and we need to fix it but that seems really difficult for some reason. 
     

    We were on our way with Roos and Jackson but since Roos more so left we have gone south. THIS is the problem. 
     

    A good type player will look at the way the top teams play then look at us and the way we play. It’s no contest. If I were a player I wouldn’t choose us either  Generally the only way to get a player to the lower clubs is by giving them crazy $$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I wish I could change who I support but unfortunately I am so invested in this nut house I couldn’t do it. 
     

    Players want to go to well run and well COACHED clubs. It’s not hard to understand why.

    Not saying this about Geelong but there are lots of ways friends of a club can give players benefits:  jobs for family members, paid education, free use of sporting/holiday facilities, post footy career jobs, discounts on any number of purchases and services etc etc.  All on a handshake of course.

    Technically they should be caught in the sal cap as '3rd party payments' but not sure if the AFL police them anymore.  Suspect clubs would be very good to ensure there is no audit trail.

    Is Cotton On a major sponsor of the Cats?

    They are definitely cheating the cap some how.     Just like they cheated their way to flags with Dank and the Weapon.

    Next you guys will be telling me that there is a welcome cocktail party for members of the Williams and Saad families, who are joining Visy, at their head office.

    Oh there is!

    Apparently the De Goey and Oliver families have been uninvited.

    The only positive out of this is GWS are pretty screwed. Williams and Cameron and two massive losses. the writing is on the wall, a lot of other giants will be calling their agents to flee the sinking ship.  Hopefully we can snag a Kelly/Greene/Himmelberg/Whitfield at some point

    Definitely not saying this as gospel but I thought there were some cheeky deals done somewhere along the lines with real estate a little while back while Bomber Thompson was coach. 

    If they have been able to make salary cap room for Cameron, given their already high amount of "stars" at the club, it's quite an achievement of book keeping.

    I'd love us to go hard after him, but I suspect he's looking to go to one of the big clubs.

    Didnt a club just recently offer a new car to a player as an incentive to swap over clubs? That one is pretty obvious. Any range of sponsors or like minded companies can offer incentives outside TPP.

    Salary cap is for appearances only. Typical Gil. Nothing to see here!

    The rules say they should be included in the TPP (unless for approved and declared 'marquee' payments) as it is a form of cheating the salary cap.

    MFCSS says if we did it, some disgruntled ex-player, ex-official would 'sing' and we would be fined for 'not doing something everyone else does' ala fine for 'not tanking'.

    Yes, would be just our luck

    However, Jaguar could 'loan' a player a lovely new car for the terms of the contract. Or Tourism NT 'gives' a family holiday during the off season to a recruit. Or a sponsor sells a block of land at a remarkably cheap price along the coast to a sister of player X

    Yes, indeed. Wouldnt be too hard to do on the sly, but it only takes one fu** up to have it come out and the AFL to be pushed to act. Look at what that lovely fellow Brock McLean did last time!

    I wish someone would give me one of those new brown paper bags, Uncle!

    Serious question, can someone explain how is the competition's fairness undermined by free agency?  Every team has to follow a salary cap doesnt it? Its not as if some clubs have extra dollars to spend, its about effectively managing the resources that you have?

    If a player wants to take less money to go to a 'destination club' surely thats the result of the club having other positives to offer other than money.  Isn't that a reward for being good financially, on field etc? Seems more fair than arbitrary zones on a map or academies from which recruit players etc.  

    you should go to the other thread discussing your question

    but part of the answer is top clubs getting fa's without having to give up any players or picks at all

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
