How cool, they make $$$ from the league then spend it without any league enforcement of the league salary cap rules.

There's no league enforcement for any club.
The league wants big names and a strong competition.
The league has no way of proving what blokes get off the books so as long as the official record is under the cap they rubber stamp it
The salary cap is a farce

 

[clocks]

have all metro comps got salary cap limits or points based? large $$$ on offer at Epping

Heard he’s on 100k a year for 10 years, with free school fees and a ceo job.

A lot of speculation.

 

[bigboyhq]

Apparently macaffer easy to deal with nothing outrageous money wise. Was probably sick of playing on that disgusting ground. Would of been a nice addition to any club

 

[NorthernBastard]

Caf had no plans to move on from Turtles after, but money was simply too good to turn down from the Pingers. Won't be surprised to see him in some honorary coaching/development role with the Epping junior club.

 

[Itspetracca]

You would have to think it’s a money thing. I’m pretty certain his remuneration at the Turtles would have consisted of a job, school perks for kids and cash.

Perhaps Epping tee’d up a better job and more cash, not sure they could match Eltham College for education though.

Maybe playing on that Swamp College surface every 2 weeks was a factor as well!

What's so good about an EC education. They have schools over Epping way you know.

A fair few more to come, a group of mates playing together

Incoming, Paul chewy scanlon at about 80 years old and also Aaron Edwards I’ve heard. They will be very handy for resa even at their age

Yes. some very handy 'experience' coming into the Mustangs this season if the 'pub talk' is correct.

Points will become an issue with these sorta blokes very quickly.

It's correct, it's always correct. Don't go ruining BigFooty offseason.....

Must have plenty $ at ressa, doesn't he live in Torquay or somewhere definitely not training 2 nights a week. Did hear there was some payment issues for this year's squad, good luck to ressa

Maybe fortunes have changed. Reservoir waiting to announce the recruits until league approve them to play with extended points again. Once ticked off all will be revealed. Good to see them up and about. Puts pressure on West and Lalor.

Not sure where you heard this as all players were paid for all games they played

Jack Kennedy will be a great get for my boys
Slow burn recruiting wise but aiming for another positive season

Do you think Lalor and Ressa will both get extended points again this year? Both were a lot more competitive than previous years on 'most' occasions. Will be an interesting watch to see what happens.

Didnt Cloke have to retire after his Heraldsun Article due to being Concussed so many times?

Dyson part time only at Ressa as at Essendon VFL as assistant coach.

Yep, in May last year

Have you seen Scanlon play recently, bloke is super fit and has no trouble getting his hand on the pill. Would think he would be a better recruit than many players between 20-30. I would be still playing if my old body was as good as his!

Some of the noise about reservoir recruits.

Scanlon 47 - a new club every year
Dyson 40 -
Moorcroft - 49
Cloke - 40
Grabowski - 35

Surely these blokes won’t be suiting up more than 5-6 games each.

Joe Palazzolo added to the list of former Bulls headed to Reservoir

Neil Gloury is also returning after playing in the 1998 under 19s premiership with Reservoir, also trying to get Nipper across. More to come.

 

[Eyes_and_Ears]

So who won Tatts at Reservoir? These blokes aren't playing for a hotdog and slab.
