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 he’ll keep more money? 

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

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

    $100 a month!!

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

    That is a disgrace

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

    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.  After all they have plenty of them this year:  7, 25, 31, 34, 43, 52, 67, 70, 79 and they will get pick 5 +/- swaps for Rankine.  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. 

    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. 

    Zero idea. 

    Just want pick 7.

     

    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. 

    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. 

    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. 

    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.

    It’s just outrageous than a guy who’s overpaid by 400k per season needs pick 7 to dump him. Even if it’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 they’re keen to make more.

    Meanwhile Geelong have a never ending salary cap.

    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!

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

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

    You mean the Romsey Recreational Reserve is unavailable.

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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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?
