Message: [QUOTE="dukey, post: 2305543, member: 2046"] Nothing will come of this. The reason GWS and GC have been allowed to sign RL players on huge salaries is because of the marketing value. They hope that Hunt will attract Qlders and Folau will attract the Polynesians in Western Sydney. Who is Inglis going to attract to an established team in the heart of a city that doesn't even know who he is? The AFL won't be able to justify letting a Melbourne based club sign Inglis for huge dollars. It won't bring any new fans to Essendon, and furthermore it will just set a precedent for all the other clubs. Carlton to AFL - "We want to sign this top Gaelic player from Ireland, but he wants $1 million a year. What? We can't? Well, you let Essendon sign Greg Inglis, and you footed the bill." Richmond to AFL - "We want to sign etc, but he wants etc. You let Essendon sign Greg Inglis..." [/QUOTE]
