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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
