How is the Zantuck deal shonky, because it screwed over Carlton?
It was an amicable agreement to terminate the final year of his contract. Completely legit. Deal with it.

Robin Hood - So just because a single article speculates that it had to do with a TPP issue, you take it as gospel?
Sorry, but we are paying 94% of TPP this year and will do the same next year, that doesn't even include Richo as a veteran. Half of our list is made up of kids under 21, we have no one to spend the money on other than Brown & Richo now that Ottens is gone.
The AFL approves the finances of every club before they participate in the PSD, as Richmond changed their intended selection they got approval again. The extra attention may have been due to the current financial situation, but thats all there is to it.
Sorry to burst your bubble, so why don't you go back to flogging over Ottens' poster
Yes they approve every clubs but they could only draft Knobel and not their second pick because of Salary Cap Issuses. There were numerous sources. What do you expect when u pay Krak 250k a year?

how am i a twit? :confused:

i was ********ed off at the afl's allowance of richmond's shonky deal!!! i know a lot of reputable carlton posters on other sites are/were equally ********ed off as me!!! knobell wanted to play for us and yet is forced to enter the turmoil at tigerland!!!

ps: im glad we didn't pick up kirkby ... i have a feeling he could/will be a complete dudd!!! not bagging him out ... just can't understand why all clubs would overlook him in national draft and then richmond in need of kpp overlooked him in rookie draft after training with them!!!

p

i dont care about your little problem about the afl's allowance of richmond, all i care about is that you hoped to pick up kirkby, then when you didnt you say he is no good because richmond and Carlton didnt pick him. Now kirkby has plenty of time to impress, he is very raw but has very good skills and is a good grab. but he doesnt have the athletic ability of the player Richmond picked up, He was the number 1 player unlucky to be drafted in the national draft, and if Hawthorn didnt pick him up with there 2nd pick in the rookie draft he would have been snapped up next pick or so on, remember this is a rookie draft so he is a very good pick up, a so called top 30 pick for basically nothing thats a risk anyteam would be willing to take up on a rookie.

You have a very creative imagination
Shame you never use it for anything worthwhile

Do you honestly think we are so close to the cap that we can't afford a $40k per year draftee? Be serious for one moment in your life.

Im happy with our rookie picks, but am not expecting much at all from any one of them. If one of them plays senior footy ill be happy, more looking forward to the development of Roughead, Buddy and Lewis...

You are a live-wire and just spew it all out at times, but this is a nice little snippet to confirm you're not a *#^!-stirrer. Eddie Betts to the Blues and all joy to him.
