Probably get more money out of sponsorship deals from Toyota/Maccas/Betting companies etc if they're seen to be reaching a growing audience

Not legally. Edit: well, technically a VPN isn't illegal. You can use a VPN to change your Internet connections location and sign up to afl live as an international viewer, which is cheaper (free? ) and you can stream at full scale instead of phone screen sized footage

Fitzpatrick still just upset that Buddy doesn't play at the stadium he has a big share in.

In reality, all swans and gws finals should probably be played at the biggest ground available. That said, ANZ turf today was absolutely shocking.

Didn't it piss down rain in that final?

Swans haven't played hawks in tas since we beat them in a final. Maybe you should try doing that ;)

Tom, mate, you're wasting your breath.

It's such a huge advantage to pay two or three picks for one kid who had played maybe 3-4 games against TAC CUP quality kids. All in the name of getting more local kids playing footy instead of league/soccer

I haven't mentioned the COLA because it's gone at the end of this trade period anyway. No new contacts have it, and the swans cap will be the same as every other club once 2015s contracts are up. So surely the Swans should be able to trade for who ever they want as long as they don't break...

Sshhhh, the adults are talking.

It definitely would be in the contacts.

"The explanation for the trade ban was that the commission, and I quote, "did not want to be embarrassed by the Swans, with another high-profile player signing following the signing in consecutive years of Kurt Tippett and Lance Franklin"." Wow.. If this is true, it's disgusting

Just Sydney? or all four academies? As long as it applies to all four of the clubs that have Academies (unlike how only one club with COLA has a trading ban placed on it) that's fine by me.

:rolleyes:

I think this thread has jumped the shark. Somewhere around page 70.

I laughed, thought "no way", and then i looked at our recruiting over the last couple of years. Honestly, who really knows!

Whhhhaaaaaaaattttttt? So we're getting dudded because we tried to sign a bloke who would not be on more than 350k per year to cover a bloke that left us that was asking for roughly 500k? Also not counting the RoK and LRT savings. sjdngasignas dgnjasibgasdgnjbasdpgijbnas If the AFL are supposedly...

Fitzpatrick can go and suck a FitzFatDick.

There's no way the swans would have just sat on this information without leaking it. They'd either leak it, or set up trades for draft picks, or shed enough players by now that they'd be under the cola-less cap and could trade in someone to cover Malcho, RoK and LRT leaving.

Except that since the Buddy deal it's been agreed that the salary cap comes down from the "109.8%" to 100% between 2014 to 2017, and that no new contracts will include the extra 9.8% loading. So all contracts at the end of 2013 had a 9.8% component that had to be gone by 2017. Obviously, because...

Surprised to hear this, considering how consistently good he's been for us. I don't know the details of his trade, what/who did we give up for him? :confused:

Wait a minute, so for the last 20 pages of BS you've been posting about wanting the AFL to be truly equal. But you don't care if some teams are disadvantaged? What? Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on being disadvantaged by your shitty stadium deal with Etihad? Because it's too...

Is there audio of all this floating around somewhere? would love to hear it all in context rather than grabbed quotes everywhere.

Except for Bradshaw (was still being paid even though he technically retired), Seaby, Bolton, Mattner Morton, Mumford, Lamb, White.. Johnston and Armstrong... Edit: Forgot Moore and Everitt.

Just in case anyone missed it.

Gee, like flies to a pile of s**t, it didn't take you guys long to find this thread after we dumped all over Geelong tonight. Enjoy being bitter, while i enjoy our biggest win over Geelong. Haters gon' hate.

90% of all reserves teams in VFL, SANFL, WAFL could beat the crap out of any NEAFL first grade team. We have enough second graders running around in the AFL as it is with 18 teams nowdays. Had a quick look at the list of Grogan Medal winners (QAFL brownlow). Two players that won this award...

Good stadium, Normally a reasonable crowd, could see WB or NM, maybe even Melbourne selling a game there. Would be good to see a locals opinion in this thread..
