Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

FFS! We could get Gary Ablett at the price these tossers want to offer blokes like this, look at Dangerfield, Boak, Griffen and Sidebottom before this guy.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

The difference is we would have to give up a lot to get those guys and fit them under the cap.

I wager a guess that if we wanted Inglis, the AFL would let us accomodate his wage outside the cap, or at least a large percentage of it.

That said, McVeigh is just speaking hypotheticals, no one from the club is speaking to Inglis.

We are not running a carnival, so why exactly to we need a marquee?

Not sure if you've noticed this but our memberships are more than 10k off the top teams (in terms of membership numbers).

Ingliss could potentially be the difference particularly as we move nearer to onfield success. It's all to do with exposing our brand to a wider community.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

Expose our brand?

How about we build a team good enough to win a premiership? It's not ****ing A-League, our brand is strong enough, winning a premiership would be 100 times more beneficial than bloody Ingles, and before you start, no, Ingles would not help us win a premiership.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

Boak or Dangerfield over these NRL players surely.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

His entire salary would not be counted within the salary cap. It would be a great coup to land Inglis. He would also be a better AFL footballer than either Hunt or Folau. If it doesn't take up any cap room it's a no-brainer. I don't think Essendon is short of a $ atm.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

Just like everyone else, I'd rather we go after a proven AFL footballer.

For the amount of money we'd offer Inglis, we could practically lure any up and coming star to Melbourne. Bump it up, and we could go after an elite mid.
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

Was talking on the NRL Footy show last night and said he hasn't thought much about a code change
 
Re: Inglis would be welcome at the Bombers, says McVeigh

forget rugby, I'd prefer we go for Yao Ming...

We would have the best ruck division in the league..

Could we match the Rockets (or whoever he plays for now)'s offer?

Think of the marketing to 1.3 billion people in China, though.
