with pick 39 at the 2019 AFL Draft, they secured a youngster with an insatiable appetite for the contest. Warner attacks the ball and opponents with aggression and is relishing calling midfield bulls Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker

Pick 8 for Battle lol

Free agency compensation is completely broken and it's laughable the way that the AFL has allowed it to be exploited for years for clubs to get compensation that doesn't match the value of the outgoing player.

It should be similar to academy/FS where the club has to match the value of the compensation with draft points, perhaps with a slight discount. As it stands, every time there's a FA move, the 16 clubs that aren't involved are effectively chipping in to get the deal over the line by having their draft hand weakened. It's a farce.

whoops i posted on wrong thread

Genuine question - what makes you think that his girlfriend is happy to stay in Sydney?

Last report I read said one of the reasons he’s likely to go back is because his girlfriend wants to go back.

Because she is

 

[DavyRed]

Because she is

Well that’s good news, but you said your comment wasn’t based on any inside intel, hence my question.

Last report I read said one of the reasons he’s likely to go back is because his girlfriend wants to go back.

I've been told his GF wants to head back to Perth.

And honestly, if you're Chad and this lass says "honey, I want to go back to Perth" ... what are you gonna do?

 

[Dk007]

Boys boys I know how we can keep the chad.

Can someone please get some dirty on his missy so they will break up

Was an accident, just clean up with your mod powers

 

[Superstar swan]

If no request come this year, given the draft picks wce have , a well run club only allow him to play on here next year if there was a reasonable belief he will stay long term.

They could absolutely get pick 3 and 13 or whatever it ends up being from wce this year. That is a huge bounty to turn down when we won’t get close to that next year.

If he doesn’t request this year I’m not convinced it’s a certainty he will next year. This club like any has a lot of flaws, but poorly run is not one of them

Something seems fishy about this

The lack of a head shake for the poster for giving me a bad turn

Keeping the Swans $$$ in play. Smart, no matter how it plays out.

 

[S120]

I'd be stunned if he stays. Too much talk around it IMO for him to stay given WCE and Freo will come with enormous offers.

No player has ever "made up their minds" .... until it turns out they had.

 

[RUNVS]

I worry that we should have traded him a few months ago, and by not trading him we have given up almost all our leverage for the 2025 trade period.

 

[The King!]

I guess WA teams may have said well we get him for **** all in year so why overpay now anyway? maybe

Or you back yourself in to get him to stay , or let's win a flag with him then deal with it after may be the thinking.

I am sure he knows what he wants to do though more than likely or has strong feelings.

Just having someone who wants out hanging around doesn't work at times, I mean we saw this year a player half out the door sulking.

 

[Superstar swan]

Hmmm doesn’t sound good to me. Extremely non committal
