Nick is signed until 2029, Josh until 2030. If they are to lure either of those guys, they\u2019re going to have to stump up when it comes to draft picks. But they do have the money to do it.\u201d The Devils have a sign-on bonus fund of $5 million that will sit outside the salary cap, to be used by the Devils in their first two years to land big names, with a maximum spend of $3 million in either year. Devils CEO Brendon Gale told Seven: \u201cThat\u2019s Roger Curtis, he\u2019s on our board, and his house is about three down the road from that coffee shop. He coincidentally ran into the Daicoses, and he happens to be a mad Collingwood fan. I don\u2019t quite know why they\u2019re here, but let me just say this: why wouldn\u2019t they be here? This is an incredible place, it\u2019s 25 degrees, there\u2019s not a cloud in the sky, there\u2019s golf, there\u2019s fishing, there\u2019s food, wine \u2014 it\u2019s an incredible place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick Daicos, Josh Daicos and Peter Daicos had a &#8220;coincidental&#8221; meeting in Tasmania over the bye weekend in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-668453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
