Just glad to see you have been able to get involved with the local culture and impart some "good Aussie culture" across the other way Radar. Fine ambassador by the looks of things.
Don't think it was you RL but to say Casey have a massive problem with Dicklands stadium is a stretch for mine as I doubt they have played any or many games at the venue. I doubt the doggies VFL side would have played many on it either.
Yeap true but every business has a budget plus they use market Intel for the "industry" to keep salaries in check with the "range" bulltish they trot out.
Also it is not uniform in the AFL at this point and hasn't been for some time, clubs have different caps. It may standardise after the new clubs cap incentives fade away but with the COLA that was in place and has only recently come out plus GC and GWS higher caps it hasn't quite been level.
Choke most businesses I've worked for do have a salary cap, it's called the budget. There is a budget for sales, marketing, entertainment, travel and one for staff salaries.
Have you never asked for a bigger pay rise and heard the "sorry the budget is maxed out this year for a bigger pay rise".
Ive always found the way to a big/ger pay rise is to get a new job internally or more likely externally.
I understand Dunny thought process, the game had shifted Doggies way but it back fired. A very experienced Casey team out played by a younger, quicker side who just never stop. Have no issues with LD though, hope he has a great future in whatever he is doing.
Especially after cardboard tough guy Dunny threw him around in the "scuffle". Kudos where they are deserved and Jong has really come along this season, well done kid.
They were mental after last weeks win as well. Someone talked about it on one of the radio pre games before last night. They thought the doggies had played their granny last week and GWS would win because of it... Bevo and the dogs footy dept seem to be able to get them up every week.
