But bowes is contracted. As a contracted player Bowes doesnt have to live in places he doesnt want to cos his club misgmanaged their salary cap. Thats blantantly unfair to bowes. Its not a solution.

The AFL shouldn't have allowed this one. It's terrible optics.

And again, if Burton said no they still wouldn't have been able to trade him

So it’s the vibe? Mabo?
Every other player and team can use the exact same mechanisms. Many already have.
There should be rules, yes. Otherwise this rubbish happens where a weak club gets weaker, and the premier gets stronger.

We weren’t going to use those picks. We had that many picks already. How’s Martin going for you anyway?

Get better or get out of the way. It’s a competitive industry.
Is he though? or is he just earning little in the 3rd and 4th year?

The Premiers shouldn't be excluded from strengthening, just for being good.

Apparently Jack Bowes had some serious off field issues and GC have off loaded him knowing this.
The fact is he is a dungeons and dragons player, is a Platinum Amway seller who continually tries to recruit people at club functions etc… and wears a mankini during weight sessions…
He also still enjoys using a magnify glass on ants… collects snails for midnight rituals on the Nerang Broad beach rd .. by himself.
Mods I’m happy for this post to be moved to the scandals board.

You are letting your club bias get the better of critically evaluating what has happened here.

Easy when the AFL helped your club out.
Ps. And has done for a long time.

It’s easy when your CEO was the AFL operations manager
I didn't see the Bulldogs get a 1st rounder for Treloar's salary dump but then Fremantle got good return for Brodie last year, I guess it's just a GC "thing" which the AFL should have stopped last year.......
How many games did Sa8nts play at Moorabbin, how many did Tigers play at Punt road? Didn't Richmond have to off load there first this year and next plus extra to get to players when Geelong hot handed pick 7 for getting a player they more than likely wanted in the first place. Sounds fair, right?

Reportedly 2.2m over four years.
Currently owed around 1.6m over two years.
So a two year extension that works out at roughly 300k a season.
Why the outrage?

Geelong.
Almost irrelevant now what he was owed, if he wanted 1.6 over 2 he could have refused to be traded and made GC honour it.
He signs a new contract with Geelong and whatever it's terms are is what the new deal is, if he didn't like the Geelong offer didn't have to go there.
When the ALF keep saying that the system is all about equalisation and then they let a clib give the preminers pick 7.It's all just a bit too unfair.
Sounds real equal, give it two yare and they won't allow this anymore just like NGA.
