I was thinking Talia, Beveridge tweet, Boyd contract and now this. Where you getting all this money from?
Lol.. the club can offer it's players whatever it wants within the cap. We haven't paid the full cap in years. You should probably educate yourself on how it works

I'm not concerned about the offers we already pay Lever probably somewhere between 300 to 400 if we need to lift it to say 750 as we will retain for slightly less as 50k that another club is offering as that is only 25k in his pocket, that won't be a concern all clubs have the same salary cap to play with

The bulldogs are stuffed with paying players who have health issues and can't get on the park and not small wages either having a player worth $1 million per year in the position they are in more or less wipes them out of contention

Then having a team of premiership players who no doubt will have over inflated ego s and salaries to go with it when coming out of contract

Bulldogs would be the least of our concern for Lever to leave

I know how it works, high time the AFL investigated where all this money is coming from, something fishy going on down at the Bulldogs.

Yeah ok champ. Because you say so it must not be true.

You'll probably end up front loading Walker's deal this year and putting Lever on a 4 or 5 year multi million dollar deal .. especially since that's his market value now

Massively touchy bunch here
You proved you source was a random nobody on a random nobody site

Am amazed you have the shame to even reply

Like Adelaide has been? Seems to me that if anyone is cheating it's the club who has been found guilty of it recently
After being investigated. I guess the Bulldogs get a pass because everyone felt sorry for them.

Mate take a look around, see the board you're in and show some ******* respect.
I would agree if this was their first contribution to the thread

There's an argument to say they were goaded into heading down this path though - just saying

Doesn't matter. This is our board, we're allowed to talk trash about other clubs here.

It's kind of like going into someones house and calling them an asshole, it's much ruder than doing it in your own house or on the street.

thank you for succinctly highlighting the 'culture problem' of bigfooty -

by the way, even if your premise is true, that doesn't mean you need to be rude to the opposition supporter who posted a legitimate contribution to the thread

I always wonder whether it goes through players minds about how clubs overlooked them in the draft, but another club gave them a look in. Shooter and Snake are prime candidates for that. We saw something in them and took the gamble. Particularly moreso in Shooter's case. I'm sure Lever would have been pickedup within another half dozen picks.

Stay loyal to the club that gave you a look in, farken!

While you're at it get "The Rover" a compass will you......Romsey a Western Suburb of Melbourne........not the last time I drove that route.
Isn't Romsey north of Melbourne? Beginning of the snow fields? Or am I thinking of another town

Would love to keep Jake, but if he goes and we get good compensation then its not the end of the world. We've consistently lost backline players over the years and yet we still have one of the better back 6 units going around. There will be other intercept marking players in upcoming drafts for us to groom.

With that said, $700K/year for 4 should be enough to get it done for Lever at his age. The stay price should always be 15-20% below the leave price, especially on a first contract, and if $850K is the leave price i'd be happy to go as high as $700K. If we start paying full market FA price to retain players we are going to massive salary cap strife in 2-5 years.

Correct if its purely about coin, he is 100% staying someone would pay $800K for Jake he would stay for $750K

If he is being paid $300-$400 now we are looking for $350 per annum incraese or extra cap room

With an extra $2 Million cap room, there is no way he is leaving for the fact we cant afford him, we could pay him more if we wanted

PS Gov is the same scenario

Nah, that's bullshit. Another clubs poster comes in here offering some input. Sure we don't like the article and the god knows who the source is (about as credible as most of these no name sources) but geez, some of you are really unwelcoming bastards and deserve a spray.

I was just living up to his accusation that we were touchy, I thought I'd validate that claim for him.

Wake up you guys. This idiot 'Doggy' is trying to rack up some"internet cred" on the Bulldogs board by telling everyone what a clever troll he is and how Adelaide fans are reacting.

It's school holidays in Victoria, and clowns with an IQ of less than 60 posting on our board to get a rise should be just ignored or reported.

Best way to deal with a troll is to ignore them. When no one replies to their comments or engages with them they will disappear.

Reporting them is a win for them.

Trust me, I know
