awesome, thanks and keep up the good work

Whilst I appreciate the upload, next time can you please hide the end finish scores that show up in the pic. Cheers

Sorry, but what file/program do we use to view these?

Yeah the negative is talented youngsters not getting AFL matches and experience for the next couple of years to help them develop for when we move into a premiership window, of which we are certainly not in at the moment. Secondly that huge wage he's getting could have been used to bring in a...

Spot on Mark, that big salary being spent on Wells could have been saved away for getting a younger and talented free agent this year that would actually be around in 2+ years time when we're more likely to be in a premiership window. Plus it also means less AFL game time and development for...

Damn! Well if we're going to be paying two good first round draft picks I at least hope GWS will be paying a portion of Treloars salary when he's at the pies, ala Heath Shaw style

What did he do/say? I genuinely don't know and am curious Cheers

whats the point of trading in Carlisle if you're just going to trade out Reid? except Reid is also capable of going forward which is our biggest problem area at the moment. In any event I value a good KPF/B swingman far more than any midfielder

I please don't be true, that would be massive overs

Re Collingwood supposedly offering Kruezer a 4 year deal. To be even remotely true it can only mean that we intend on trading Witts to GWS, but then why wouldn't they just get Kruezer, of which the only reason is because he is a spud, which brings me it back to 'so why are we going after him?'...

Re Dangerfield Then just offer him a massive 2 year deal that Adelaide cannot match and then immediately sign him to a contract extension and pay him bugger all for the following 2-3 years, and backpay other players, ala Luke Ball scenario

And all Collingwood got was one first rounder and a second round pick + a player that most people had never heard of

Close, but without a victim or witness statement it 'definitely' would not have gone anywhere and the case thrown out, with court costs paid to the accused with taxpayer funds. In any event that's about 2-3 hours with no police protection in that area in case something more serious happens, but...

Yep, everyone was wasting their time when they couldn't be bothered to make a statement and actually properly report what happened

Because the cops cannot do anything if the victim or any other witnesses can't be bothered to make a simple statement that would take half an hour to an hour out of that persons time. So then why should the cops put in 4-5 hours of UNPAID work for the victim who is being too lazy when it's not...

Well given Clarke's output at the time and that we hadn't seen any of Elliot it certainly seemed like it at the time. As for trying to make someone's quote from 4 years ago look silly, I think only someone who has taken this long to work out what an awesome player Elliot is/was going to be...

Does anyone know how much tickets to the Casey fields for VFL games costs for single adults, kids or a family?

yeah if anything pick 25 did seem a bit unders, and although I have no idea about how many guys you plan on taking at the draft, I'm surprised Collingwood didn't also give pick 67 to North instead of giving it away freely to Brisbane with Beams, which was only done because Collingwood doesn't...

But no club should EVER be under pressure to keep above the minimum spend, as you can always simply front load a couple of players contracts so that you meet it this/next year, and yeah sure if you keep on doing that you will eventually have 'a lot' of free space in 3-5 years time with which you...

No, just because a top wage earner leaves, does not mean that you have to start paying the rest of the middle tier players above what would be expected. What you would do instead, say if Swan decided he didn't want to play on next year, we would most likely fall short of the minimum 95% cap...

(for Lumumba and pick 30) Personally I'd rather we get either pick 19 from Melbourne or pick 21 from Geelong and they can keep Varcoe!

There was an article yesterday though stating that we were so close to the cap that we couldn't get Varcoe in unless Beams left... Which is a scary thought, because yeah I too thought we should be well under, yet apparently not :( it looks like we've definitely been paying way too much for...

God I hope he picks North Melbourne and we go into the draft with a pick in the 20-30 range instead. Not only is the young kid likely to be just as good if not better (and for many more years), but the amount we could save in the salary cap could be the difference between us successfully signing...

Hmm, I'm not sure why the Beams trade is holding up the Lumumba, Clark, Varcoe trade... They better not be planning on giving away pick 25 (with the exception of getting in a better pick in return) Though I suspect the biggest thing holding up the Varcoe trade is that we are bursting at the...

I too saw this yesterday and couldn't believe it. Who ever handles list management/salaries should have a lot of explaining to do. I think we paid way overs for guys like Cloke and Swan to stay with us instead of going to GWS (which could of netted us multiple top draft picks) purely for the...

Well for something that was supposedly all wrapt up last night, I'm surprised nothing has been announced yet. Lets just hope that Collingwood is trying to force Brisbane to pay most/all of Jack Crisp's wages under their salary cap next year. And maybe then we wont get as/so badly burnt with this...

Where's the option to pick that you're pissed off at the club for both getting under compensated for Beams, and not having the balls to stick to the deadline for dealing with Brisbane?

That salary cap space they take up is everything though. If we went for potential young kids through the draft (Like Langdon, Marsh, Williams etc) then these guys cost very little as opposed to guys who have been in the system for a while and have decent size salaries, which could be used to...

But how? Your club is supposedly so full of great talent and every player is so much better than Beams and untouchable, that they'd surely be taking up all of the salary cap...

That's a lot of work as he's going to need a poster with 35+ people on it though given that everyone bar the crap players already or about to be delisted are considered better than Beams and untouchable...
