Trade target discussion (merged thread)

[Conor_Dillon]

Surprised that we didn't even table an offer to Leuenberger...but that may be because of the uncertainty surrounding what we could offer etc.

[Plugger46]

Tom is very keen to stress that he's telling the truth which probably means that he isn't.

If the reports are right, then Buddy's salary increases by $500k next year plus we lose another $200k from our salary cap due to the the COLA transition, and then around another $200k the following year when we go to the rent allowance. So I'm not too sure we've got cap space to front end contracts. Furthermore, all those players that had COLA in their last contract will start 10% down due to the loss of COLA when we negotiate their next contract. We will have salary cap challenges for some time to come. It should ease once the AFLPA renegotiate a salary cap.

How much salary will be freed up with the retirements of Goodesy, Shaw and Pike (possibly) plus Jetta leaving?

Adcock yes.
Stevie J no. Neither as player nor coach.

+1

Goddard as a defender/distributor. Half arse idea, I think

Is there a 3rd Goddard I don't know about?.. No way he will get traded to the Swans.

[Dosser]

Goddard is currently on about $700k. Tell em he's dreaming.

[Conor_Dillon]

Goddard is a flog of the highest order. Hopefully he is traded off 360.

Though does give rise to many waiting for Goddard jokes

Tom Harley has announced that we are no longer interested in Leuenberger. Does this mean the Sinclair deal is almost done???

West Coast list manager confirmed Sydney had made an offer for Sinclair which the Eagles were currently not entertaining.

This Jetta thing may end up like the O'keefe thing with hawks a few years back and might stay

Yep, thats what I got out of it too

[707]

WCE won't do a straight swap of Sinclair for Jetta, want more - WTF? We are going to get screwed over Jetta, it's what happens when there's only one suitor :-(

Yep, why is he there ! Playing cards close to his chest , no need to give the press fodder. If he made statements and missed out it would make him look bad.
