-The suggestions of coaches getting paid out as being the same as players being paid out is farcical at best.
One is soft cap which is rarely used in full and the other is salary cap which is tight and heavily scrutinised.
- Trading on LOB is a more realistic scenario, like Setterfield last year.
- The other issue regarding the need to bring in two rookies is not as linear as suggested.
Why can't one or two of the current rookies be promoted and then there is space to add the 2 rookies, especially if we are trading out players etc.
- Regarding salary cap space, clubs only go to Ireland if your space is tight or the talent in Australia is not there and there is plenty of talent in Australia at the moment.
- I get we are moving players on and creating space but we may also be eyeing of more mature talent to trade in this year at a cost (Gresham) or we are looking to lock in developing players longer.
And Bondi if you actually know something say you know rather than the ambiguous comments like LOB won't be here at the end of the year or next.
Which one is it, because we all know his contract ends next year anyway, stop sitting on the fence as you've stated.
Yeah right Cru.
I find most of your points have been discussed and the point about caps is not farcical...they are contracts and they are caps. Full stop. Yes we know Ratten is a coach. yes we know Stewart is a player. get it. Its a friggin contract. Your tone is mischievous.
We've discussed the rookie upgrades, we've discussed everything you state, and mate, if you want to quote me, quote me, where did I post what you suggest? Find it. Then I will answer it. You may be representing what I said very wrong.
You're making up stuff and for that reason I couldn't be stuffed pulling you up on every point and revelations you see. You're a smart fella but find where i said what you suggested and we'll discuss that next, if you could be stuffed.
I've got guests and we're having a laugh.
Soooooo...........you don't know anything then?
You speak about contracts as if you are the only one who understands them. I've been in business for over 25 years, I think I know how contracts work.
But we are not really speaking about contracts are we, we are speaking about wasting valuable salary cap space and the suggestion of paying out a contract for nothing in return.
If our list management and Austin do this then we really need to be asking, can they do their job properly.
And yes, I can't be stuffed quoting you...........I'm sure you can read your posts on the last two pages to see what you wrote if you can't remember.
As for you having guests over, aside from the absolute weirdness of the comment, may I suggest if you are posting on TC while you have guests over you may need to find more entertaining ones.
No mate, you need them explained, so I do, just for you, and you've read the lat 2 pages of posts and still don't get it
I've known people in business for 50 years who still don't understand contracts, because they have so much money, they will pay someone to find a way to get what they want.
I'm telling you that paying out LOBs contract is cheap and not ludicrous as you think. It creates a spot on the list. Why not wait till season is finished and see what happens. Given what you continue to post (your beliefs/ fixation on LOB etc), you will be surprised and somewhat shocked to see what Carlton and other teams do and can do during Trade time, including delistings; there's always surprises, and reasons for them, perhaps out of your scope.
As for my guests, I tell you what, you'd love to be here partying with us, its a lot of fun fun fun ... I showed a couple of them TC and BF and to have a laugh at what some people post. They laughed at yours, because you just don't get simple models...despite having them explained to you for weeks.
Enjoy the Finals. Don't let the thought of losing LOB for nothing spoil the opportunity.
So you are only guessing.
Fair enough, you should've just come out and said it.
To pay out a minimal rookie contract and lose salary cap space for zero in return is ludicrous, no matter what BS you want to spin on it.
Trade yes, even a Setterfield type trade, totally plausible.
Sounds like fun fun fun, you seem to be going for a bit of group bias there mate, very Trump like.
If that makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.
Though I hope you had the toupee to match.
However, the thought of inviting people over to my place to talk about social media or forum conversations about football for self validation is an extremely weird concept to me, but hey each to their own, you do you.
I guess my guests are little more diverse and interesting, so I will apologise to you now that I have never mentioned you to them and probably won't because as above.
All that being said, I guess it's safe to say we will have to agree to disagree on this topic, still.
Now cheer up you're an alright bloke, a bit out there but who isn't and you seem like a good egg that bleeds blue too.
And it's finals Baby!!
