I wonder how close Yarran and Rattan were?

This is terrible.
You have the Crows giving up two reasonable to good players for garbage, and then say completely inaccurate things about GWS, who don't have to lose players.

This seems about right, and Port is at 105% of the cap, right? That's been widely reported.

Gysberts atleast played 15 games in his second year.

100 - 7
And where do you expect these top 4 clubs are going to get a pick in the top 15 from?

Dont the top 4 have picks 15, 16, 17 & 18.
F/A compo generally bumps those picks up a couple of spots.

Who apart from Dangerfield (who may stay or crows may match the bid) would attract a first round compensation.
I'd say that about it this year. Years gone past their are generally at least 2 compo picks from 2 - 14 but theres only the possiblity of one.
That's unless someone overpays for Leunberger and the AFL feel sorry for the lions.
at his best scott selwood may have.Unfortunately for the eagles he is nowhere near his best

If Lachie Henderson leaves Carlton may find themselves with another first round pick

Yeah we were allowed to go up to 105% this season. Not sure if we are went all the way up to 105% though. (5% would be 500k right?)
I remember David King saying he had sources that before the trade period last year we had 1.2mil free space (including the 5% extra) and we ended up spending 1.05mil of that 1.2mil. Ryder (600k), drafted 4 kids (400k) and 1 rookie (50k).
Obviously David King might be making stuff up but if it's the truth then we may be about 350k over at the moment.
Butcher and Cornes (600k) then makes us around 250k under the cap (pending other delistings and not mentioning back ended/front loaded contracts).

Not a FA though, so won't bump down picks.

Port would have been stupid not to use the extra cap space while it was available - even if it meant front loading contracts of players to spend as much as possible this year, but meaning there was more available in the 100% in 2016 onwards.
EDIT: People are getting too hung up on this 105% stuff. If a club is within the rules allowed to spend 10.5 million in year one, and 10 million in years 2 and three, it would be stupid of them NOT to structure contracts and spend the whole 10.5 million in the first year, other wise there 500K of cap space available to them (over the three years) that they have not used.

Not a FA. Must be a trade. So no bumping with FA unless it's Kruezer for Carlton
Because we underpaid the cap one year , we then had to repay the extra the next year. So if you pay 95 then you cannot pay 100 next year but must pay 105. At least that's what i thought. So we haven't had to pay 105 to cover all our players , just the way we have loaded our payments. Probably underpaid one year so we can use 105 percent in a year we want to recruit a player ie Ryder , and front load his contract.
That's the beauty of being a strong club, you have a lot of players that are perfectly capable but can't break into the team. So you simply shed one to a mid-table team in return for a first round pick upgrade, then on-trade the pick for another gun.
Example? Can't remmber any trades of that ilk.
You go for Melbourne and can't remember the Dom Tyson trade?
Melbourne weren't exactly what you would call a mid table club though, I can't think of a lower 1st rounder being upgraded to a mid first using a fringe player.
Are you just bored and looking for an argument on the internet? Can we just agree that trades do in fact happen in exchange for pick upgrades? Or have you made it today's mission to bicker needlessly with a stranger over technicalities?
Well, you said it was dead simple for a top 4 club to trade up their 1st rounder; i'ts never happended as far as I can tell, don't get upset

*sigh* the old "u mad?" approach? Seriously? That's probably a sign I should stop talking to you, but I'll give you a hypothetical for the sake of it:
Craig Bird has been in and out of the Swans line up this year, but is a proven solid player. Do you think if the Swans packaged him and 17 in exchange for pick 15, that any club in their right mind would say no?
Yeah you probably should. Do you have any examples that have actually happened though? Sydney would probably just trade him for a ~2nd rounder instead of that scenario IMO. The 'Tyson deal' is a rare beast. It only happened because GWS had their heart set on Kelly and knew 100% they could get him with pick 2.
