[quote="sax"][quote="ace"][quote="Beno88"]How can this Barrett rabbit have any idea about St.Kilda's salary cap and player payment situation when there are currently only 33 players on the senior list and 3 rookies??!! [/quote]
It is rather simple actually
St Kilda needs $294,500 to meet the minimum payments for the 6 main draft recruits, and $99,600 for 6 more rookies = $394,100
St Kilda needs to be under $7,299,650 now, to be able to make all 12 selections.
Therefore however much St Kilda is under this figure is available to pay Cousins &/or Carroll above the minimum of $62,700 plus $2,700 per match.[/quote]
I think you'll find rookies aren't counted under salary cap[/quote]
Yes Sax you are right.
A rookie only counts as 50% if he is a nominated rookie (making up the number of players to 40).

St Kilda needs $294,500 to meet the minimum payments for the 6 main draft recruits, and $0 for 6 more rookies = $311,100
St Kilda needs to be under $7,432,450 now, to be able to make all 12 selections.
Therefore however much St Kilda is under this figure is available to pay Cousins &/or Carroll above the minimum of $62,700 plus $2,700 per match.
Unless the club agree to pay a player more these are the minimum
Base payments
Existing player more than 2 years, 29 players = $62,700 x 29 = $1,818,300
Existing veteran player, 1 player = $62,700 x 1 x50% = $31,350
2nd year 1st round pick, 1 game 2008, 1 player = $59,300 x 1 = $59,300
2nd year 3rd+ round pick, 0 game 2008, 2 players = $48,700 x 2 = $97,400
2009 1st round pick, 1 player = $55,500 x 1 = $55,500
2009 3rd+ round pick, 5 players = 47,800 x 5 = $239,000
Nominated rookies, 1 rookie = $33,200 x 1 x 50% = $16,600
Match payments
22 matches x 22 players = $2,700 x 22 x 22 = $1,306,800
Note match payment for McEvoy = $3,000 and Steven & Connors each $2,900
Total minimum payments = $3,624,250
Total player payments cap = $7,693,750 of which 92.5% = $7,116,719 must be paid.
Available payments over the minimum = $4,069,500
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.
