Collingwood helping Doggies to the tune of $300,000 this year, is that fair?

So in this era of salary caps, equalisation and a supposedly "level" playing field in footy, how do the Doggies get an additional $300,000 in player payments on the field this saturday?

Treloar's deal has us not only playing the Doggies in the GF, but also the 1.5 million (over 5 years) the Pies are tipping in to assist them...

Not in the spirit of the game, i'd suggest.

Funny at the time, less so now. 

Thoughts?

    The Dogs have the same salary cap as everyone else.  Treloar is included in their cap.

    Collingwood are paying $300K of that cap to get Treloar off their books or they would have exceeded their own cap.

    Just goes to show how much Collingwood wanted him out and the salary cap pressure the pies are under

    Glad that was cleared up.

    Maybe that was why Eddie was keen to come to WA, and watch his investment at work..?

    It's fair

    the market determined Treloar was worth $X in 2021. That is what the Bulldogs are paying.

    Collingwood on the other hand are paying a $300k per year "penalty" to Treloar for getting the sums wrong.

    It could also easily have been us paying $200k a year had Tom Mac been traded last year.

    I believe we 'helped' Port Adelaide in 2018 with Jack Watts' salary.

    An excuse is the meat of a lie wrapped in the skin of reasons. This has no bearing on whether we win or lose on Saturday.

    This is going straight to the 'What they're saying on Brunton Avenue' thread on the Bulldogs forum.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
