What salary cap?

I reckon Pendles and Sidebottom would be playing for unders with the expectation of lifetime careers. They both seem like smart operators and would benefit the club. I also think Beams would be getting way less than market rates as it seems he just wanted to play for the Pies.

The advantage a club like Collingwood has is the potential off field earnings. Scrubs get high profiles there. Media gigs, business connections post footy. None of these players are going short

More a 'salary guideline' for the Pies than a cap it seems.

I agree to a certain extent. I definitely don't think they are getting a million each. But by sheer weight of numbers there are quite a number of them that would be on big sums. Like Sydney when they had Jack, Kennedy, Hannerbury, Tippett, etc. on 700k+

Whereas we had Wells on what 650k?! and only Swallow and Goldie near him.

Yep. Treloar is a perfect example of this. DeGoey too - he can stuff up and in 2 months get an AFL rehab piece with him smiling and everyone saying he's a new man. If he was at a lesser club he'd be painted poorly for life.

Like West Coast and there - McGovern, redden, and another get full time wages for a development company

Judd incident all over again. Only difference is clubs are better at hiding it and the AFL are better at disregarding it.

They also had a dream run from the umpires, some really one sided decisions ruined the game IMO. The media will point to a 60 point score line and say it wouldn’t have changed the result which is a complete load of shite that they trot out every time to protect the system.

Overall that was great comment but I just wanted to highlight this.

Its a joke imo. Maybe we should have an inquiry into umpiring and gambling in footy.

Move along. Nothing to see here.





Don't trip on the carpet as you make your way out.

Get home heartbroken, watches Storm game for inspiration.

Same, plus the Victory game v Adelaide where Victory scored an inexplicably disallowed goal closely followed by Adelaide scoring for a 1-0 loss.

Even my six year old son greeted me this morning with his hand making an L sign on his forehead.

Baggies got up overnight. 3 - 2 to hull city

 

[muttley45]

Just for a giggle i took a multi of Freo/Saints/Richmond/Carlton, at this stage i'm a chance

 

[Roosurgence]

We are officially the worst team in the comp.

Even Carlton and Gold Coast have more to look forward to than we do.

Brad Scott that is your legacy. After ten years you have got us to rock bottom.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Another massive roughie salutes.

This makes me more pissed of about our shitness.

The funny thing is we are now considered the club you would be pissed losing to.

Welcome to rock bottom with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Yet the same old lines are continually fed out from the official channels, looking at the nmfc website these days makes me physically sick.

With so many teams a week to week proposition, I wish ours could pull it together even once. Upset wins everywhere, and the only one we won was because Crows were much more s**t than people realised, and needed to be to come out worse than North that night.

You own a Street if you play at the Filth by the end of your career?

 

[Reagan Smash]

Can Paul Roos at least try a little and hide his pro Melbourne bias

Preuss goes bang from 55 for his 2nd
