This problem was put to you by me a few weeks ago and you laughed it off and accused me sarcastically of not "thinking laterally". Your response of what to do with the cash was simply to pay our younger players more money in the hope of reaching the required 92.5%.

Now you come out all concerned and finally it hits, "shit, maybe we can't make the 92.5%!" as if you only just thought of this now?!?

i know this thread is meant to be 'tongue in cheek' ...

but can someone confirm whether the min salary cap requirement is actually 95% for clubs not dipping into the CBF; and 92.5% for clubs like kangas and WB who are receiving assistance from the ALF.

maxy, I think you'll find the answer should be somewhere in HERE.

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...
