Then there is an irresistible force -immovable object paradox. Because no way Brisbane let him leave for a second round compensation pick.

Band 2 is end of the 1st round. Band 3 is a 2nd round pick, straight after their normal pick.

That said, there's very little difference between the two, given where Brisbane is going to finish on the ladder.

No you keep ignoring how the AFL interpret such guidelines they set for themselves and how they consistently manipulate them to suit their agenda. They are a law unto themselves and answer to no body else. There are no conspiracies or fantasies but they consistently will manipulate a rules/guidelines that have a grey area to suit their agenda. You cannot define materially anomalous in this instance. Its a case by case basis. You are saying $800k is fair yet $950k is materially anomalous...a mere 18% above fair? Where is the line drawn? I would have thought 30-50% above fair would be more out of the ordinary and anomaly. Everyone thought Betts at $550k a year was way over his worth. Most had him valued at $400-$450k. Thats 22-38% above what everyone said was fair. Is that materially anomalous?

My point is 'materially anomalous' is up for debate and I guarantee you if the AFL sees fit it will suit their agenda.

You are ignorant and naive to believe bodies such as the AFL, NBA, FIFA, MLB do not continuously manipulate situations to suit their own agenda.

Conspiracy theory, blah blah blah.

[Elite Crow]

I won't believe it until the horse trainer confirms it

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

It's a frenzy! Give it to us redhorse (so to speak)

 

[earlsta]

I wanna hear what type of fish are lurking around the waters at west lakes.
Are we not signing Lever to mega bucks because Josh Kelly is coming?

 

[Elite Crow]

Look can we stop with the posts asking what reshorses news is. If he intended on sharing it he's already been asked and ignored them.

I would be more interested in knowing who redhorses alias is.

Alias?

Just the one?

 

[Squiba]

Well this just got a hell of a lot more interesting than theoretical band compensation for Brisbane.

Pretty obvious it's Sanders.

Yes

 

[Mismatched]

Agreed. I thought Brisbane might be keen on letting him go since they are going through a rebuild and Rocky doesnt seem to be the best role model at times.
But for only a second round pick? Hell no.
Brisbane still has a hard time of finding players wanting to stick around and Rocky actually wants to.

Does he want to stay though? He did, opened up contract talks early with Brisbane to show some leadership in the hope others would follow. Also give them some good news when the going was tough, instead Brisbane essentially spat in his face with a heavily reduced offer compared to his last and he hasn't entered negotiations since. He then gets pasted by his club for his leadership style, professionalism and relieved of captaincy. Probably a pretty bitter pill to swallow after he'd been so vocal in the media about remaining loyal to his club and backing his club in.

Does he really want to stay in Brisbane? and for that matter, do Brisbane actually want him to stay?

Red horse arrives!
Doesn't provide any goss..
Disappointed man.

 

[BirdmanAFC]

He's not "definitely best 22" and never has been.

So DMac is better than him?

Obviously if Rockliff actually gets a contract offer in the top 5%, he will generate band 1 compensation. What I'm suggesting is that a) no club would give him that sort of contract (assumed to be $900k+ per year) and b) the AFL wouldn't bend the rules to give Brisbane band 1 compensation if he actually falls into band 2 compensation.

Couldn't agree more. Brisbane shopped him around last year and no one wanted to touch him. They've offered him an initial contract to start negotiations which is LESS than his current contract.

There's no way any club are paying 900k for Rockliff. He'd be lucky to get 650k at best.
