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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
