That Geelong salary cap must be some fascinating reading....Jacob Hopper (GWS)
Canvass the football industry and the consensus is that Hopper is a little more polished than Taranto, which is why clubs will chase him first then consider their options.
Those close to Hopper have downplayed speculation he wasn’t thrilled with the treatment of twin knee surgeries that have effectively wiped out his year.
But he will be on the move if the Giants agree, with Geelong hunting him and Richmond plus Collingwood among the chasing pack.
Last year he averaged 26 touches (he was a team-high for tackles, second for clearances, third for disposals) and went at only 52 per cent by foot.
I assume there'll be some retirements .....I mean, once you hit 40, you have to be thinking of retirement ....even at GEELThat Geelong salary cap must be some fascinating reading....

Like how posters want all these stars or future stars from other clubs , not understanding if actually got a Rankine or JHF or even Grundy there goes our first round pick at the least .
The only way can get a player from another club without costing good picks is if they are a free agent .
I believe should go with the draft but maybe take gamble on a cheap addition like able to do with Keays and Hinge .
Let's get this straight in a rebuilding phase you would sooner a 27 year old Karl Amon than Brayden Cook (20), Lachie Sholl (22), Luke Nankervis (19) or even Tariek Newchurch (20) who has definitely played his best footy in the SANFL on the wing given opportunities in a position they are all suited in?Is Amon hell bent on getting home irrespective of the $$? 4 years at $650k is the rumoured offer, I’d do that. For a winger and supposedly not having a good a year as last year, his season has been very good again. Imagine him and Dawson on our wings, *.
Free agent, no picks involved.View attachment 1465519
Well we seem to prefer to play inside mids on the wing, so it's a moot point.Let's get this straight in a rebuilding phase you would sooner a 27 year old Karl Amon than Brayden Cook (20), Lachie Sholl (22), Luke Nankervis (19) or even Tariek Newchurch (20) who has definitely played his best footy in the SANFL on the wing given opportunities in a position they are all suited in?
Yes lets get this straight, 27 years is not old and we are short of middle aged experience. Cook I am sure we could fit in the team, is wing his best position? Sholl? The same Sholl that we won't give a game too? Nankervis is a wing is he? You've been talking him up as Hamish's big bodied mid. But at 19 when do you think he would get a game? How many in the next 3 years on the wing? Newchurch who we wont give a game too?Let's get this straight in a rebuilding phase you would sooner a 27 year old Karl Amon than Brayden Cook (20), Lachie Sholl (22), Luke Nankervis (19) or even Tariek Newchurch (20) who has definitely played his best footy in the SANFL on the wing given opportunities in a position they are all suited in?
Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes.Yes lets get this straight, 27 years is not old and we are short of middle aged experience. Cook I am sure we could fit in the team, is wing his best position? Sholl?

Newchurch who we wont give a game too?
Amon is one of the best wingers in the comp, the names you have thrown up to not try and bring in one of the best wingers in the comp are all speculation and no certainty to be as good a winger as Amon.
So you think they could all be better wingers than Amon?Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes.
One things for sure if Amon was on our list they'd be further away from selection than they are currently. 2023 is a new season.
And those 3rd party payment which we didn't declared would have fell within our cap anyway and what was Judd's 3rd party payment with Vissy worth???? I think the AFL got us on draft tampering as we had that "gentlemen's agreement" on an email to trade him to the club of his choice for a 2nd rounder which was stupid in itself given the AFL would have questioned us trading him for a 2nd rounder."Geelong have been hit with a $40,000 fine over repeated salary cap rules breaches across an eight-year period.
The Cats voluntarily raised the issue with the AFL, with a subsequent investigation confirming the violation.
7NEWS reporter Tom Browne understands the breach involved a GST error relating to management fees paid for by the club on behalf of players.
It is believed to have been discovered by their chief financial officer Simon Kelleher, who joined the club little more than 18 months ago."
So 10% each year over 10 years... if management gets 10%, then that's $12,000 per year for 8 years, or $96,000...and Tippett was $30,000 and we lost first and second for 2 years...

I don't know but we need to find out and bringing in Amon isn't going to help that.So you think they could all be better wingers than Amon?
Why? We are still rebuilding and you want to give Amon $650K (the Port Power supporter are currently laughing to the bank at the Hawks offer as they have a chance at a brand 1 compensation), what's the point? I would rather use that salary cap for Rankine and trying to get JUH.Is Amon hell bent on getting home irrespective of the $$? 4 years at $650k is the rumoured offer, I’d do that.

Thats what I asked.I don't know but we need to find out and bringing in Amon isn't going to help that.
I'm not up on the Amon scenario is money the sole reason he hasn't signed with Port again?
Worrying about what some Port supporters think is right up there with me caring with what some Crows supporters think......Why?

You think Amon is worth more than B.Crouch?Worrying about what some Port supporters think is right up there with me caring with what some Crows supporters think......
Yes and is being paid accordingly, he also doesn't have the bad boy tag which forced him out of a club....You think Amon is worth more than B.Crouch?
What a surprise. How many years of draft picks are they gonna lose?"Geelong have been hit with a $40,000 fine over repeated salary cap rules breaches across an eight-year period.

This was two years ago and was dealt with quietly, $40,000 fine.What a surprise. How many years of draft picks are they gonna lose?
A bit like the Port draft tampering of 7 players that played in their premiership team. Dealt with quietly. Now almost unheard of.This was two years ago and was dealt with quietly, $40,000 fine.
