What if we deal with Bowes mgr and say we strike up a new deal we could flatten out a portion of the next 2 years? His tax obligation would be reduced as a bonus so heโ€™ll keep more money?ย 

Not an accountant, but wouldn't he be on max tax rate regardless?

ย 

You wonder what sort of wage this guy has been on??

$100 a month!!

$850,000 for the next 2 Years!!ย 
what rubbish accountancy are they running up there??

That is a disgraceย

We cannot even look at this deal, how the hell Jeelong can is mind blowingย 

Pick 7 and Bowes for a salary dump is a furphy.ย  Gold Cost will want a good pick back, most probably a future first and depending where it lies give a pick back.ย 

Effectively they are sliding down the first round draft order not simply giving up pick 7.

eg from contenders Geelong and Brisbane it might be there future first (high teens), from Ess or Saints it might be their future first and GCS give a 2022 pick back.ย  After all they have plenty of them this year:ย  7, 25, 31, 34, 43, 52, 67, 70, 79 and they will get pick 5 +/- swaps for Rankine.ย  I reckon they will swap a few the 2022 picks for 2023 picks and won;t use the last three.

It's a lot, for sure. And maybe too much. Although it's for one year at that figure.ย 

Aside from the players I mentioned, you'd like to know how much we'll have to play with given the money we would have had for Jackson if he stayed. Plus Gawn, Lever and May would all be on significantly less given their age and contract status. But maybe that's been balanced out by us signing on Trac, Oliver and Gus on long deals for significant money.ย 

Zero idea.ย 

Just want pick 7.

ย 

Lever is 26. What are you talking about, Steve? He's likely to still be on a significant contract.

And yes, I wouldn't be taking on 850k just to get pick 7.ย 

It's incredible some still value draft picks so highly, particularly bang smack in the middle of our premiership window.

If it was a top 3 pick, maybe that's a different story, but 850k is far too much to take on for pick 7 and likely our 2023 future first.

I'd much prefer we put that 850k to a plug and play star we may want to target this year or next year.

Edit. I see you've seen the light lol.

Not sure that is right about a high pick back.ย 

While he is an ok player, his salary is that of a star. Pick 7 is what makes it attractive, so any pick back would be inconsequential.

No-one is talking about the mis-management side of things enough. This is another blunder in the long list of Gold Coast nit-witsey.

As mentioned previously, this kid is a Gold Coast native out of their academy, they should be building their side around guys like him and he should be a in the conversation for future captain there but everyone is blinded to GC's stinky list management.ย 

Well done GC, from bean to cup you **** it up.

i think the deal ends up being something like tom berry and a couple of future picks for bowes, 7 and a stack of the suns 2022 draft picks, points for all (suns have a couple of academy boys highly ranked for next year including a big forward jed walter)

Yes, now that Berry wants to go to GCS and Brisbane need points and GCS get future picks that is a likely scenario.ย

and 7 is dunkley


Itโ€™s just outrageous than a guy whoโ€™s overpaid by 400k per season needs pick 7 to dump him. Even if itโ€™s a future first back (which seems unlikely). Should be pick 35 at most to dump him.

Gold Coast allegedly are trying to stop making the same mistakes but it sounds like theyโ€™re keen to make more.

Meanwhile Geelong have a never ending salary cap.ย 

GC list manager should hang his head in shame.

How can the Cats afford to accomodate such a high salary AND bring in more talented youngsters in Bruhn and Henry when they just won the flag? The entire point of the draft and salary caps is equalisation, yet it seems it's creating an environment that's anything but equal. How are the struggling clubs like North and GC ever meant to become competitive when their top young kids are walking out the door or they can't afford to keep them without paying absurd amounts?

The competition is in a terrible spot at the moment!

Which team do you suggest, the Romsey Winecasks?


Shocking at AFL gives suns too many picks

Suns give up a great pick in Scott brothers approved salary dump

Great pick goes to Geelong with Scott and SHocking!

Perfectย

Sadly no Red.

As I've been unable to garner support for our new training facility etc to be located at Romsey, I doubt that would work.

Sounds like you have been using the same people as the MFC Bbo!

The NBA occasionally steps in and vetoes lopsided trades like this one. Wish the AFL could do that.ย

You mean the Romsey Recreational Reserve is unavailable.

Then what about the Macedon Maulers? Surely you could use Hanging Rock for the training base.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
