Traded Jared Polec [traded to North Melbourne with Pittard and #48 for #11 and 2019 fourth round pick]

[Rad Roo]

Nah

salty

 

[Hootini]

Assuming the 750k is accurate, still not sold on it being accurate, whats the problem? If 650k is more reasonable but doesnt get him to move then its not an option is it? Then the only option is dont get him, which is worse because he has what we need. Cant just sit on the money forever.

 

[THE_GUN]

Gaff says hi

Tell him Dusty said hi back

 

[the big lebowski]

Nah

Who knows if it is $750k. I think it’s the 5 years that Polec likes and the actual figure might be closer to $650k with a large upfront year 1 component.

Same with Gaff but obviously a higher figure around $1m p.a

 

[thisismyname]

The 3rd party deal is what got Dusty over the line. No Puma and Dusty would have been in the blue and white in 2018.

Probably winning a premiership with the team also helped persuade him to stay at a successful club.

 

[rainwizard39]

Hmmmm, yes ineed a 'waste' is a good word to describe as the cash splash is only for team that has the money, i wonder what term is used to describe the treble of watt, motlop, rockliff............hmmmmmm a travesty

You’re right. We should of blown our cap on guns like Rockliff, Motlop, Watts..

Watts is partially paid by Melbourne, Motlop better then Hall and Rockliff is better then what people are saying.
Can't believe your getting cocky over Polec. Let's see him play after he signs this big deal it's a contract year of course he'll play well, Hall is nothing to be thrilled about, Gaff is good but for 1.2mil a year, no thanks.

You forgot Kelly.

There’s $3m P.A there to spend.

Kelly? Haha yeah sure spending $2mil on Hall, Polec and Gaff not to mention Ben Brown resigning doubt you'll have enough to convince him, he did turn down that big contract last time.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Tell him Dusty said hi back

Has had a poo year. Good misfire.

 

[Free Agent]

Well North want Polec. Can almost guarantee that you wont get Gaff if you get Polec.

Also if we lose Gaff then we ourselves will go hard for Polec if he wants to leave. North will have to outbid us aswell and it looks like we have a huge amount of Salary free from losing Gaff to use for him.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well North want Polec. Can almsot guarantee that you wont get Gaff if you get Polec.

One or the other.

Why not just go all the way and guarantee it?

The trades have no effect on each other.

Yeah but surely you wouldn't have the salary for both given how high its been rumored. 1.2 mill for Gaff and 750k for Polec.

That seems impossible from a salary cap point of view.

We have the salary cap for 3 x Gaffs.

It's not an issue.

I'd doubt that haha

Keep dreaming mate. Afyer you give Gaff 1.2 million a season. Wasting salary cap over there without even thinking through it.
Polec wouldn't want to go to a club that already has a player taking his position as outside midfielder. Would be much better suited at a successful club in our midfield.

We will bid on him for what ever Gaff salary was. Its simple for us. Swap Gaff for Polec.
We will actually be in a better position then Kangas if you obtain Gaff from us. We will diffentenly be in the bidding war. Thats or cause if Polec or Gaff wants out. Not confirmed yet.

You are aware each club has to use a minimum of $11,827,500 of their $12,450,000 cap? Not sure how you can afford three Gaffs if the only player of significance who has left the list is Waite this year. Was he on 2 mil?

I'll email this to the North recruiting department.

Thanks Obeanie.

We have been paying the minimum 95% for the last 2 years which means we can pay 105% for the next 2. So that an extra $650,000 room p.a. We've front loaded all our recent signings creating massive room going forward. If we miss out on our targets like last year we will restructure current contracts to meet the minimum level. This isn't something that's happened over night it's well planned.

We paid minimal cap and front loaded existing contracts.

We made offers totaling $2.4 million to 2 players last season with Waite on the list. Do you think we gave that money to Billy Hartung?

There's enough money for Gaff, Polec and Hall this year, and there will be enough for Kelly next year, when Thompson pulls the pin, and Goldsteins contract gets scaled down.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Cool story bro

I know, my story deals in facts.

Your's is pure fantasy.

 

[Hootini]

Watts is partially paid by Melbourne, Motlop better then Hall and Rockliff is better then what people are saying.

Oh yea? Want to hope that partially is somewhere over 90% but im going to guess not. Spuds is spuds.

Goldstein's $900k contract finishes at the end of next year.... we will have even more in the TPP at the end of 2019.

Who were they for?
The Dusty offer was $1.5m and Kelly $1.1m. Revisionist history seems to always be at play when it comes to Norths failed offers to players.

 

[Tectonic]

Who were they for?

If you don't know who the offers were for you are living under a rock.
If you do know, why ask the question? What difference does it make to this conversation?

Such a waste of a post you should feel bad.

They are simply incapable of NOT hijacking any thread that could even HINT at "that" issue.

Don't assist them with their constant derailments mate. Just scroll past it and don't give it oxygen.
