You have to pay the full cap so its got to go to someone.


Another stupid rule, should be able to roll over any excess cap into future seasons stops spuds getting paid overs.

No they wouldn't because another club could be doing exactly the same thing and you break the bank for doughnuts.

Having Brisbane pay basically the same as North doesn't really make sense imo

He's kicked 360 more goals than me, but seriously, how did this bloke play for 11 years at the level?

2 metres tall and a pretty much flawless physique, I can see why.

Has kicked 10 in a game, managed 14 Brownlow votes in 2017 in a struggling side, i wonder how he would've gone if he played in a more successful side from the get-go. If his body held up better he could've been anything, I think it was between the ears that let him down, was definitely dangerous enough when the ball was on it's way in.

Random one but does it annoy anyone else that so many teams don't have the club's logo on their guernsey anymore.....
