Judd is the only one I can think ofHow often does a captain leave a side in his prime while the club is contending for top 8? Gonna say he stays as a wild guess...

Everyone is criticizing Collingwood now for a big salary dump this year... but what if it's all part of the master plan to lure Bontempelli in the following year with the power of a 105% salary cap? Bontempelli was who Collingwood originally wanted in the 2013 draft until the Bulldogs jumped in and committed to him 2 weeks before the draft, and with Pendlebury getting older, there is no better natural replacement.
Dogs had the third lowest salary cap in the league. I assume Trengove goes who was on more than he should have been. We’re fine.Why are you making it about Collingwood, his own club just added more mature body contracts to the salary cap book. As with Carlton I think the clubs themselves are banking, literally, on their captain's loyalty saving them a lot of money at the next contract.
Which is great for football and their own brands. Both Cripps and Bontempelli will be far bigger names, aside from winning a flag at their new club, if they stay and play out their careers as one club champions.
So much of AFL media post career is about the legend you carried while you were playing.
I don't buy into the discussion on cap space as a measure of how much isn't spent, since the lowest any club can go is 95% spent - I prefer to look at how a club has stripped or added to what at best could be 95% of the cap already spent.Dogs had the third lowest salary cap in the league.

What do you mean not honor a contract? Treloar was free to stay if he chose to.No elite talent will be signing with Collingwood after your recent debacle. Theres no faith you'll honour the contract.
This.
Who in their right minds would want to commit to the Pies after the last week?
People like you read way too much into spectator hype and copy what Bigfooty thinks.You can clear as much cap space as you want. If no-one of note actually wants to come there, then it's completely superfluous - see North for the past 5 years lol

Like I said, good luck.What do you mean not honor a contract? Treloar was free to stay if he chose to.

Nobody was supposed to ever sign for Essendon again after the drugs saga, then they signed Saad, Stringer, D.Smith and Shiel not long after, and retained most of their playing list touted to leave.
Time goes on, and money talks. It's that simple, kids.
You just don't understand how this country's laws work. Just because we ask someone to leave doesn't mean we're not dishonoring his contract. He could've chosen to stay and would've been paid.Thats some kool aid level delusion right there.
You're right, Essendon was far worse because they got their entire team suspended for a year, and got them permanent branding as drug cheats.Essendon's issues are another complete subject and totally irrelevant to the Pies as they are two totally different circumstances.
Legally yes but for anyone going back to the club was not an option, especially someone who already suffers from major anxiety.You just don't understand how this country's laws work.

Keep living in Bigfooty fantasy land though. Keep thinking you understand how things work behind the scenes while having no clue.

3mil seems a bit rich. You've got 580k for Stephenson, say 500k for Treloar (taking into account the 300k they're still paying allegedly) and then Phillips is off their books next year anyway. Still paying Beams in their cap, bigger deals for De Goey and Grundy - can't imagine their delistings (Broomhead, Dunn, Reid and Scharenberg) were on much. I don't think they'll be over the cap at all but they won't be far under it.
has a bestie named Josh, who has a brother named Kyle.Any chance bont has a brother?
If I was c’wood I’d be going after Bevo before Bont.
No current season stats available
They had to move on all 3 after the de-listings though so doubt it they will have 2.5mil in cap space. Probably closer to 2mil in cap space for the De Goey deal.Reid, Varcoe, Dunn, Broomhead, Scharenberg all 200-250k players. It's the volume of senior retired players. All below average salaries but on more than minimum.
I didn't take into account Treloars extra salary, forgot they were paying for part of him and Phillips, so in terms of exits it's 1mil + 600 + 500 + 400. So 2.5 mil for exits. Some eaten up by increase for Moore and Grundy, not sure De Goey gets that much of an increase considering we would have made their offer go up last time
Collingwood is the last place he’d go. You treat your players like crap.The biggest free agent of next year along with Patrick Cripps.PLAYERCARDSTART9Patrick Cripps

To be less fair , you need to give some consolation prize to Collingwood after this trade period , just pretend Bont select Collingwood as his next club .Collingwood is the last place he’d go. You treat your players like crap.
Dunks gawnnnnnnnnnnnnnDogs' midfield is worth watching; can't see them all getting the midfield time they desire. Reckon one or even two will leave at the end of 2021.
Won't be Bont though. He'll stay a Dog for life IMO.
Collingwood have offered him $1.5 a year for 7 years so it will at least be temptingCollingwood is the last place he’d go. You treat your players like crap.
