Ediit: Then there's the spot on an AFL list that some young player is desperate to get on. That extra spot is filled by Beams. Seriously, WTF?
We can still delist him and replace him with a kid. But the Beams salary still has to be carried.
So the problem is we might have to replace him with about five kids on base salary and get rid of other senior players!!!
In fact we are starting to see the machinations now, with half the team apparently on the trade table. I wonder if the Treloar stuff is partly because Collingwood knows the cost of Beams contract is going to have to be carried in full for two more years.........
