    And if we said to North, we will get you Stephensen for Brown and then force Pies to take a lower 2nd round pick, as they just have to salary dump,  it gets better.

    It depends on what he was being told. It would not be the first time that a large company mislead the Chief through incompetence. I remember a while back a MFC chief had a drawer full of invoices that were not declared.

    so is it a waste of time checking in here to see progress?

    or will social media drop any useful trade info before official release time?

    That's because he was still paying his $600.000 desk off?

    I think this is unfair for two reasons. Firstly, the final decision whether to pay the amount sought is the club's, not the player's. Secondly, players do not necessarily know what their teammates are being paid, so wouldn't know where they fit in the pecking* order at the club and therefore whether they are getting what is fair and reasonable or not.

     

    (I know we're talking about Magpies, but this was an unintended pun.)

    You Miss understand 

    this was Collingwood Player Greed, not the individual players

    The Filth wanted the great list and worry about paying them money later. 
    They still have Grundy to worry about

    This is so “how not to run a business”

    no wonder McGuire has quit Radio ? 

    May they implode for many more days yet

    Franklin's contract moved the goalposts by a massive margin.What looked like a stupid play was quickly lauded as a masterstroke due to increases in the salary cap(media deals).The AFL is a very small bubble and the mantra turned into its own echo chamber. Now that bubble has burst big time.

    Will clubs learn from it. Probably not as every bad decision can be justified at the time it is made. It's only hindsight that makes them look poor.

    MFC  has made a few of its own.

    If they have any brains they will move away from x years at $Y dollars, and start talking salary cap percentages. Maybe not for the whole contract, but for the future years which exist say 2-3 years away or after the next EBA.

    For the bigger contracts anyway.

    The union will never agree to that one Deanox. They already think their share of Revenue  is too low.

    Which heads will roll?

    This from the fox website should answer some questions.

    Dual premiership Kangaroo David King said it was unfathomable how quickly the Pies have run into their TPP issue.  I think there’ll be a Royal Commission into how they go into this situation at Collingwood,” King told Trading Day.“Ned Guy, he’s acting like the Candy Man handing out contracts down there. It’s unbelievable what some of these guys are on.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that the players as a group forced the club to pay "overs"?

    As i read it players were asking for overs and the pies kept caving in.

    Mahoney indicating having 2 picks in the 20-30 range could see us picking up a couple of players that will slide due to the lack of exposed (current) form in the junior ranks.

    Then in the next breath hasn't ruled out making more pick swaps!

    No. I am saying Collingwood wanted a list of A Grade Players with no regard as to how they would be paid. 
    The Players don’t assemble the List

    The Club does all that

    Thanks for clarifying. I think we agree, don't we, that the problem is the club's making, not the players'?

    • 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

      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.
