Bosman is right....this was touched on last night on 3AW when Healy and Sheahan got stuck into that dimwit Adrian Anderson who appears to know nothing about football at all. Healy put it to him that if we cut/trade Whitnall/Campo/Lance that we might not be able to get up to 92.5 % of the cap and would breach the enterprise agreement the players have with the AFL....Healy said it was stupid that a cashed strapped club like us should be forced to spend 92.5% if they didnt have to and we should be allowed to pay less due to our circumstances.....Anderson didnt know what the minimum figure was and tried to avoid the question by saying its our fault for having too many backloaded contracts...if we dont get some talent like Kosi in we could end up paying a load of average players way in excess of what they are worth and just throwing money down the drain..the salary cap is absurd just like the drafting system...
Could it be time to get the PSD taken to court and outlawed in favour of free agency?????
Perhaps we should offer Kosi a million bucks next year, the $350k p/a for the 3 after that.
WE'RE JUST PLAYING BY THE AFL'S RULES!!!
I reckon you're onto something there, why not get our payments down as low as poss, then pay ,eg, Kosi- $1,000,0000, then $100,000 x 2 years?
