“We all” ?Since we all think that the scully and scrimshaw deals are BS, lets have a thread to keep track of how well they go and whether it turns out to be unders or not.
Suns would be dirty to keep Dream World on their books still

Yep, agree, i was nearly going to start another thread called "overs watch" to be about salary caps.My issue is with the AFL. They tick all of these deals off. Which means they knew exactly what GWS were doing. The AFL knew for some time that by the end of this season, GWS would need to dump $2m or whatever it is from their cap.
Of course this would result in high quality players going to Victorian clubs for huge unders. That undermines the entire equalisation system.
I can’t believe there is not more outrage about what’s gone on here.
“We all” ?
Did you think the same when the Hawks got former pick 3 O’Rourke?
And Scully is a 28 year old (next season) with the solitary elite trait of two way running - and a dodgy ankle to go with it. His 3 year contract practically had negative value. I would not have taken him to Adelaide on that deal.
Tin foil hat etc

Why should there be? The AFL allowed GWS to have as good of a shot as possible at getting a flag. If anything they should be applauded for growing up and allowing clubs much more freedom to do what they believe will get them success.
Now hopefully they stop the punishment for tanking/resting players, and stop trying to help s**t teams get out of the hole they've dug themselves into.
Because it results in “some” clubs getting A grade talent for massive unders. It has big impacts on the equalisation system that they set up.
and? GWS knew the risks, nor would I call that Scully trade massive unders.
Like I said, my issue is with the AFL. Its all the other clubs who don't get A grade talent for nothing that are affected.
