    We know Hurley is on at least $800k plus, Hooker signed for $1million didn't he, same with Daniher and so it goes on.
    What's the cap?

      Hurley signed for well over $1mil a season. He declined our offer of $800k because Essendon substantially increased their offer. It's feasible that Essendon has 5 of the 10 highest paid players in the AFL, and still can offer the likes of Stringer $600k to come to them. When does it reach a point that it's so farcical that high profile people start making noise?

          It has to come to a head. They are so obviously diddling the cap. I'd love it if the players they traded in had to sit out a year.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Re: Stringer Trade Worth

            Hooker signed for 1m??? When did that happen?

            Stringer would be on 5-600k. Goddard on his last contact, would be amazed if it is above 5-600. Zaha would be about the same.

            Heppell should be on decent coin and i recall everyone saying they got Daniher cheaply so lock him in for 700 a season.

            Really think people are clutching at straws.

              Fair enough. I'm strongly inclined to believe Greystache, particularly on this. Strongly.

                This is from the HUN, end of April 2016:
                CALE Hooker has signed a five-year contract with Essendon.

                The Herald Sun understands talks between Hooker’s manager Tom Petroro and Bombers officials late last night clinched the deal.

                The Bombers increased their offer from a four-year deal to five years at about $750,000 a season.
                Two of those clubs offered six-year deals for the 27-year-old, meaning Hooker has rejected up to $1 million to remain a Bomber for the rest of his career.

                    Hooker re-signed a year ago on mega bucks. We know what Heppell is on as we offered him $800k but he knoecked it back for bigger dollars to stay.

                    Even if the 7 players Grey mentions are on an average of $700k, that is still $4.9 million. Ok let's say they are on $600k average, that is $4.2 million leaving not much for the rest of the group. It just doesn't add up even with the new cap of $12 million.

                            Is that the worst tattoo ever?

                            Interesting this tat might've been a last straw, and cost him staying.
                            Interesting his dropped mark in R23 2014 might've cost BMac.

                            I wonder whose going to get the 'last straw' being involved with JS?
