Im confident that Nasiah is getting the majority of his contract now.

I shared that exerpt they wrote about Battle when he left the Saints.

They didnt attract anyone of quality which means had he signed on at a fairly sizable contract lets say 1 million this season, that would likely account for an underspend.  If it was more of that, they can very much start paying Nasiah his 2 million per season now.  Thats all well and good for him and the club, but TDK will eventually become a boat anchor weighing down on the list as his team mates start wondering, where is my mega pay deal (particularly if he isnt as durable).

Was reported TDK is getting a 2mil 'signing bonus' up front. That would be a good 'trick' to fill some cap space quickly and save yourself some $'s long term.

I suspect him and NAS have front ended contracts to fill the gap in salary cap SOS created, and anyone else coming in will help flesh out the cap later on.

This attribution to sos is false. 

Why has he created a gap in their cap? 

Im curious.  There's a lot of SOS did this going on, but I reckon you'd have a hard time finding his salary dumps.  Battle left.  Thats the gap.

I think EB said that Marshall is on F all the next two years, was heavily front loaded, that's why they won't release him.
Suck a steaming dog $$$$ sniffers...if Marshall wants out, he'll get out.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Its impossible to know exactly who did what and when.

SOS has history of doing this as a list manager and its no real stretch to suggest he's done it again.
Was part of it in play before he got there? Absolutely, there'd be some contracts in play already that he inherited.

Maybe its simply that, as we well know, SOS is a stubborn bastard and maybe he simply gets players to sign on for less.
I've thrown up about 10 different things that any club can do at any time....yet these only seem to happen at clubs SOS is in charge of. Purely a coincidence? Possibly. More likely to be his influence than not though.

Brisbane all the way please.

If nothing else for Omacs benefit.

Id like to see him get a flag more than any other player in this finals series. 

Wonder if he is interested in going home.  Went to ringwood secondary college, and played in the eastern football league before getting rookie listed by Brisbane.

Brisbane is the least offensive winner for mine....hoping for that.
Pies getting 17 would be worse case scenario.

Yes, Brisbane for me as well. 2nd choice would be Geelong.

2nd choice Hawks.....just to give hope for teams that finish 8th.

Hey brother and sister Baggers, my charity has Patty Kinnersley as our key note speaker in the next couple of weeks at our MENtal Brekky held at St Pats Ballarat. Any pertinent questions my fellow Baggers?

I don't really have any questions, but good on you for continuing with this great cause. You've written about it over the years and great to see it's still going.

Like Paul, no questions but I hope your MENtal Brekky is a great success 👏

Bravo on this initiative, Hanwell.

I know I have a question (or 15) but am curious as to what Patty will be speaking on. Our Watch (Patty is CEO) seems focussed on violence against women and children and MENtal seems focussed on fathers with a mental illness. I would be really interested on Patty's perspective as to why the number one cause of death in men under 40 years is suicide? Is there a very concerning relationship between men with a mental illness and domestic violence? What initiatives are available in the Greater Ballarat Region for men with a mental illness?

As you probably know I work and have worked for a few decades in mental health, particularly male mental health with a focus on addiction, leadership, PTSD and anxiety disorders. I'd be happy to have a chat with you on the dogger... feel free to PM me.

Keep up the great and important work. Cheers... Baggers.
