No, Beaussie, the Swans can't fit him under their salary cap.

He's going to GWS.

Ah no, Sydney bound

Is he a good player pHyR3? Google some of his work

Yeah, but he has not shown much form for most of 2013. His second half has been average at best.

True, although he hasn't had to with Roughead and Gunston doing so well. Apparently this negotiation with Sydney has been going on all year. I bet that's played heavily on his mind too.

Nope, the AFL will put the brakes on it because it's a salary cap breach. No way can they pay that much. No way.

GWS it is.

Not a question of form is it.

Probably the biggest AFL highlights package i've every watched, 7 minutes. He's pretty decent, is he the best? Doesnt seem that AFL is as conducive to brilliance as NRL though to be honest, he's got a nice step, good kicker, and decent in the air but in comparison to Barba's efforts, Simona's, Nofoaluma's, Inglis. i dunno, seems kind of the same old to me.

Your not seriously comparing the skill set of people that throw the ball to someone who, kicks the ball, marks the ball, can bounce the ball and hand pass the ball 30 meters?

Heard on AFL360 contract will be back ended, with retirement of Bolton, Mattner and Morton, the transfers of White and Mumford they will have enough. The future retirements of LRT, Goodes, Reece Shaw and O'Keefe it seems he will squeeze in - also there will be natural increase in cap with CPI anyway. Looks like he's Sydney bound for 9 years. At 10 mil thats 1.11 mil per year, which would be less than GWS offer (Bolton on approx 400k(less 110k for vet list, which means someone will be added to vet list), Mattner 300k, Morton 150k, White 300k and Mummy 500k looks like he will squeeze in - they will elevate Brandon Jack, Rampe and Biggs, take Llyod Peris and have number 14th pick in the draft - so everything looking like it will works.

find me anything that matches this, i was looking through AFL highlights yesterday with a friend and we couldn't find anything. A couple of steps which were good, some of the marks were decent too but nothing like in NRL.

All depends what you're brought up on. Get a video of Daniel motlop doing some tricks and Gary Albert at Geelong. I think an AFL player has to do a lot more with the ball than an nrl player as mentioned though but nrl players are no doubt skilled as well in different areas . Two completely different sports so silly to compare
