Proud Player of PAFC. Love my family and friends. Love Poker. Bucket List 1) Play poker world series main event 2) sky dive 3) meet dirk

mAyBe if he spent more time PRACTicing to kick the FooTy instead of playing POkER, WE'd win a PREMIERs hip. I can't bELIEVE he doesn't have 'AFL premIErship' on that LIst!!

Geelong going to the AFL for financial relief with a half million dollar loss forecast for this season.

They benefit substantially from state and commonwealth government 'incentives' being a marginal seat in both jurisdictions. They can afford to throw crazy money at Dangerfield. And it looks like they can meet Tomahawk's financial demands.

*edit* Oh yeah as Killer Power reminded me, they make at least $750,000 for each home game thanks to their stadium deal built on government largesse.

But they're asking for handouts.

Yeah but #lolpoort #tarps.

Waaaatttt??? Cue REH with their profit model at the Cattery. You have got to be kidding me.

This. Wtf?!

 

[Jim Dixon]

Yeah okay. But clubs don't have much flexibility with their salary caps. The Hawkins/Dangerfield money would still have to be spent on other players if they didn't sign them. The salary floor (what the clubs must pay under the collective bargaining agreement with the AFLPA) is only $500,000 below the salary cap.

Geelong are in strife because members are downgrading from 11 game tickets to 3 game tickets. Pretty understandable if you're a Ford worker looking to cut back on your expenses.

See there is an article on afl.com headlining how Gibbs got the last laugh on Twitter over sammy. Is one player ridiculing another for being dropped on social media really what the AFL is trying to promote?

 

[Trewth]

**** off Geelong

Especially when jimmies were so obviously rustled at Gibbs' end.

Yep. Looking forward to all the articles about moving them to Tasmania because they're unsustainable

well, well, well, look who's knocking on the door asking for money now...

They don't have to spend their salary cap. For many years we didn't as we couldn't afford it.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

I suggest they get themselves a Skype coach too

 

[finbarr]

**** off Geelong

Yep. Just.....piss off.

 

[CrimsonRaven]

I don't get people saying that Gibbs burnt the Hoon. Isn't it a sure sign you've lost an argument by attacking them personally on a completely unrelated topic?

Two days later?

Hoon is living rent-free inside Gibbs' head. I can't wait to see that mentally weak sniping campaigner fold the next time we play Carlton.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Gibbs is a lazy weasel who would insist on having the last word with an echo.
A real na na nana na

Burnt.. Not burnt... Irrelevant. It's more the AFL making it a story!!

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Just like Boak's "hope he's enjoying his year!" comment last year. There was nothing in that, the media just really needed a story that week.

 

[PatientMental]

Good on Geelong for signing Hawkins, glad that'll shut the people that were crying out for him to come to Adelaide up.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

It may mean danger is staying a crow

 

[Port 2004]

Or he was never going there in the first place.

 

[PatientMental]

Still think Dangerfield is off to Victoria, just not to Geelong. More brown and gold and less blue and white.
