I’m not too concerned about Rankine being lured to stay at GC.
Dillon said yesterday that we’ve front ended his deal and he will be on 1.5mil in the first year hahah.
Maybe PSD isn’t out of the equation

1.5 mill? Geez we must be struggling to fill the salary cap.

1.5 mill? Geez we must be struggling to fill the salary cap.

As we should be, due to how many kids we have.

Not to mention crap players

For supporters of AFL clubs other than Geelong probably don't want to see the Cats with a top end pick they are doing more than fine as is lets some of the teams towards the bottom end in on the action (crossing fingers Crows). If he wants to come and build with us, he'd be a walk-up 1st 22 get midfield time and we can afford his heavily back ended salary.

 

[Jetwa5h]

Do they not understand that he does not have to spread any money, he is owed 1.6mil for the next two years, why would he go to Geelong to spread that to say 400k over four

A guy that couldn't reach a grand final in 10 seasons at a club that hasn't won a final in nearly 20 years.

The perfect match

They don't have any choice... literally... they've cornered themselves ... they said they want an experienced coach... didn't say he had to have had success.

 

[spenze]

So we're giving Rankine $1.5b per year, the key to the city, a luxury fully furnished unit on Mars and a dinosaur. He's not staying at Gold Coast

We are shifting a few bales of hay but we're not selling the farm

The Premiers with a heap of stars, have cap space for a salary dump, yeah right

I think it's about time players salaries became public.

Sick of all this BS that Cats pay players less than everyone else. And Richmond taking on a couple of big names too.

It's almost like these big Vic clubs are playing to different rules.

Outside the cap payments, marketing or ambassadorial roles, employment of family members

Would love to have that looked into

I think it's getting ridiculous. It has to get a complete overhaul - Geelong have a massive advantage by being the one regional club, in that they can attract back all those Vic Country boys who are interested in the regional lifestyle.

How reliable is Dillon usually?

I thought Dillon gets his info from Rowe Snr who gets it from Bigfooty.

That's because they are.

rubbish, at the end of the audio he says "hes sorry if hes wrong"....hes guessing.

Selwood and others likely to retire so I reckon they'll definitely have space.

Not sure it frees up that much space, Selwood was only on 80k this year

I mean his family earn a lot of work "consulting" but he's basically on a Rookie contract and to be honest, I struggle to work out how Geelong make the 95% cap minimum.

 

[CrowMike]

He said Dunkley was 95% sure going to Port.

The three clubs who could be a trade suitor for Matt Crouch according to former teammate

“Sometimes you just need a change of environment, a new lease on life.”

Good to see Bryce still working for us trying to upsell

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Selwood and others likely to retire so I reckon they'll definitely have space.

But they all took paycuts to keep the team together and climb everest, so getting them off the books won't add up to much

When they said paycuts, did Selwood do that air thingy with his fingers?

 

[George Kramer]

No that was Rucci. Dillon said we were getting Rankine

The question has never been how much are Geelong paying their players, it's always been, which 3rd party is paying their mortgage, buying their car, paying their kids private school fees etc

I'd be very worried about our list management if we didn't have a huge hole in our salary cap next year. Perfect move to fill it with with a season + of Rankine's deal and try and open up more salary to push for another big acquisition next year.
