I wandered in to the Kulgera Roadhouse bar for happy hour and the last half was showing on a fairly small TV.  There were three Adelaide supporters in the bar and five Carlton supporters.  They gave it to us when Eddie scored but it was great to have the last laugh.

My view of the action wasn't that good, the position of the screen rather than the number of beers, but it seemed to me that Dangerfield lacks awareness for a bloke who is supposed to be a gun  :-\

Great win by the boys, particularly with Henderson not getting near the ball.  It was particularly pleasing to see Docherty, Menzel and Everitt doing well and Thomas went pretty close to earning his pay.

Nice part of the world DJC ?

Definitely!  I've been to Lake Eyre, the Oodnadatta Track, Alice Springs, and Chambers Pillar, then drove back down the Old Ghan Railway line.  Getting to Kulgera and seeing the boys win was a bonus.  ;D

Based on the fine the club gave him last year and the rules in the player contracts which specifies the fine conditions, his salary is about 500k. It may be backloaded so maybe more this year.

Even at the lowest end, those 2 combined are likely to provide better value in the way of an earlier draft pick, an additional spot on the list, and additional currency to throw at a top notch player. With Kruizer especially, it's gotta be better value for the club to cash in rather than having his wage and list spot tied up in a recovery ward.

Waite is on veterans list, so, only half of his salary counts towards salary cap.  Any new player would have 100% of salary under cap

Not true it's changed, you can have as many players on the VL as you want but each only gets a 100k discount off the cap.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Hmmmm ok, so if he's on veterans list and Judd's already taken a massive cut we should already have some serious margin left in our cap?

Ever read a match report in the SA press?

No Carlton players get a mention and the focus is on the Crows getting their act together to secure a finals spot.  At least the Melbourne press is more or less neutral.
