Rumour Pies 2011 Official Trade Rumour Thread

I think on that point we'll be saved by the fact that GWS's hit rate on those picks will only be around 50%. If they nailed them all, then yes, God help us.

How long do the GC and GWS have expanded lists and expanded salary caps?

I'm looking forward to next year being only a relatively rather than completely r*ped draft year.

Heard Bluey on radio the other day and was asked about players like Coad being delisted. Apparently their list starts getting peeled back as of right now and I think lose around two per season until they are back to par with the rest of the comp.

Yep... and when those 12 (should be) guns and their friends from next years draft get to 22-24 and they want their fair share of the pies, every other club will take what is rightfully theirs.

Yep. You took the words right off of my keyboard.

Unless they're planning on packaging up a few of those picks to trade in a "big fish"

I think it's 2 mil p.a. peel back for GCS (5 years) and @1.5 mil p.a. for GWS (7 years). Lists also stripped back by 2 per year.

Can't imagine the strike rate being that low with their top 20 picks, unless this draft is from Satan's bumhole. More like 80% strike rate.

Well I kinda plucked the figure from my bumhole, but the point is there's an attrition rate.

I hear your bumhole and Satan's bumhole are never seen in the same room together. What have you got to say about that?

Fitting that St.Kilda end up with the draft pick awarded to second...

GC is 1 mil with 200k taken over each year until they hit 400k, then the year following that (so 2015) they fall in line with everybody else. I'd assume GWS is following a reasonably similar path, if not identical.

Yep, that was meant to read 1 mil extra for GC with 200k p.a. stripped back (except for one year where its 400k).

GWS is a little different, because the AFL desperately want to tap Western Sydney's growth corridor.

As Team GWS trims its list across its first seven seasons, its salary cap will gradually be reduced. By 2019 when its list is on par with its AFL rivals (at 38 senior-listed players) its salary cap allowance will be scrapped.
