Can the Roos still get Rawlings

[PJK]

This theory is being developed by Roos fans.
Kangaroos are at 92.5% of the salary cap, so could get Rawlings to nominate his going rate plus the last 7.5% of the cap, and then agree he would agree to forego the large extra payment. This amount could not be accommadated under most clubs salary cap and so they could not draft him. The Dogs are also in North's position so he would probably fit, but Rawlings would make them pay the full amount, which they probably wouldn't.
Shifty, but in the spirit of what went on today.
IT COULD WORK

Shifty but stupid, because that amount would count on the TPP for his entire contract with the Roos.

 

[PJK]

what if he nominated a one year contract and then renegotiated again in a years time?

 

[Borgsta]

For a one year contract the Bulldogs may as well pick him up.

Also North wont be running at 92.5% of the TPP after they pick up players in the draft.

 

[PJK]

good for team harmony - Rawlings collecting a million cash and asking to be traded at the end of the year.

 

[scooter600x]

I think it could work - if Rawlings was ****ed off enough or wanted to get to North badly enough.

7 1/2% of $6M is $450K.

It's a longshot. The question is 'Is their list already full?'

The Roos list isn't full.. and probably won't be full after the National draft either.

Go Roos

Have room there as well. I believe we are currently paying 92.5%- and if we aren't - well we would be pretty low, we won't be paying all of Corey's contract, haven't got Carey to worry about, haven't got Martyn, or JMcCartney.. got a pretty young list.. and I think Archer or King or someone is able to go onto the Vets list in 04, not sure tho.

Go Roos

You didn't want him as much as what we did and you have been trumped. We have done our sums and he will sign for 2 or 3 seasons with the Doggies
He is a bit of a character and will enjoy his time at the Doghouse.

You are right, we might go for Stevens or Ray Hall

If Jade states that he will go into the preseason draft and state that he will only sign for 1 year on $500,000 for that year, then any club that recruits him, MUST pay what he demanded.

I'm not seeing your point here but I can tell you that he will be 27yo this time next year and he would be taking a very silly risk if he was to sign a one year deal.
$900,000 + over three years is far better than $500,000 for one season because of the injury factor. This will not be lost on the 26yo player and his manager.

 

[Toffeeman]

Exactly old school. Next we bring Brady to the Dogs and both the Rawlings are playing together as desired. The funny thing is Roo fans think that Rawlings had his heart set on playing for the roos where he had his heart set on playing with his brother. This can still happen in 2005, it will be easier for us to offer a trade for brady than North for Jade. and even if they do offer a trade for jade we will still get a quality player in return.

If Jade states he wants a 1 year contract on $500,000 for that year, any club which picks him up, HAS to pay him what he wants.

We would have after the trading/delisting, upwards of $800,000 free in our cap. If Jade asked for a 1 year contract on $800,000, could/would you lot pay him?

 

[tashibatts]

Why would North deal with the dogs after they have been royally screwed by the Dogs/Hawks?

And who says Brady would leave the Roos anyway?
(Who says he is out of contract?)


Go Roos

Jason, You are clutching at straws. You have missed him because you didn't put in the best offer. The Kangas do not have the cap room you think either.

Tim Harrington has just said North are resigned to the fact that they have miised out on him.

Yes, I am listening to him. He seems like a realist the supporters however, are not.

Here's my tip, the bottom 4 teams will go into a ballot next season for the first 4 selections in the PS draft however, they wont run the ballot until after the trade period.
Problem, if there is one, solved.

There's no way the Dogs would have struck the deal they did if they didn't know for sure that they had the first pick.

Absolute rubbish. The Roos have alot of room in their cap. Only paying 92.5%, plus the delistings/retirements leave room.

I was aware that it was stopped but if the AFL cop some criticism they might reach a compromise with the players union.
Run the ballot after the trade period, simple fix.
