just saw the Dogs got Suns pick #4 -

were we too slow or did they offer more than we could/would?

Dogs gave them 3x first rounders, massive overs. Can't compete with that

They gave GC 10, 17 and a Future 1st rounder. If we offered GC 3 first rounders for a 5 pick upgrade, many here would be wanting Reid's head on a pike. (And rightly so)

We're now in play for pick 10 and/or 17 with our second rounders + Doedee compo (19)

 

[Crow till I die]

I'd say we are 3rd wheel in that group. North can stump up 14 and their end of 1st round compo for 10 and it beats anything we can offer without dipping in to next year

 

[kirky]

The whole SANFL game qualification being reduced was a fight they (and we) should have picked 15 years ago. Can't be many more like big Jim still having kids late in their 40s.

Thought the same thing - we have been in the AFL for over 30+ years.

How many SANFL players are left fathering kids at this point?

Depends if GC want extra points this year

If North are offering up 14 and more to move up to 10 they are idiots

Jon Ralph said AFC offered Doedee 2 x $250k, wtf?

 

[FR0GGY]

Ah, that’s right. AFC get a leg up from the AFL for the first time ever and everybody has a whinge.

Well. Whinge it up mfers.

It’s not even a leg up

 

[Drummond]

Absolutely time to play hard ball. McAdam is seen as best 22 here and I don’t believe he hates the club or playing group, just wanted the better deal at Melbourne. We have already upped our offer to 3 years, so if we get closer on the money maybe he ends up staying if Melbourne don’t satisfy our requirements.

So in other words, his agent is a genius.

Jon Ralph said AFC offered Doedee 2 x $250k, wtf?

No he didn't. You may have misread that

 

[JennyTalia]

Jon Ralph said AFC offered Doedee 2 x $250k, wtf?

I think it was 250k less per year than the previous offer

 

[Peter Doherty]

No he didn't. You may have misread that

Watch Trading Day, pretty sure that's what he said. Then said Brisbane's offer was 3x Adelaide's.

 

[bonehilda]

Pick 22 for Esava and the Cats still might be posturing for more Villainous arse club

What will the trade for bow and arrow look like, BZT and…?

 

[Shuestar13]

Freo definitely have an issue with player retention.

I wonder if they'd be interested in McHenry.

Haha, that made me laugh
What a club honestly. Send McHenry there, they have a fixation on missing and replacement pieces, much like Port Power.

 

[50BC]

Thought the same thing - we have been in the AFL for over 30+ years.

You would think the window would close with the Michalanney's. Ports window is 6 years behind ours so maybe for them it's open a crack.

Probably has Colin Young as a manager. He steers every client he has out of Fremantle.

 

[PeterSalt]

$700K over 5 years probably is 3x more than what what we offered based on a 2 year contract

 

[Runnin Blue]

It’s not even a leg up

For us it is.

 

[dogs105]

Watch Trading Day, pretty sure that's what he said. Then said Brisbane's offer was 3x Adelaide's.

He misread it then. Report was offer dropped by 250K

 

[Peter Doherty]

$700K over 5 years probably is 3x more than what what we offered based on a 2 year contract

Here's what he said, apologies just audio.

 

[FR0GGY]

For us it is.

How? Seems like he got a very sizeable contract?

 

[PeterSalt]

Here's what he said, apologies just audio.

He also said that Billy Frampton was extremely valuable in Collingwood's GF win .. sounds like BS to me

 

[Carn The Texan]

Here's what he said, apologies just audio.

"Billy Frampton, who played such a valuable role in the grand final" stop right there. I need a moment to compose myself.

Duursma is a total spud. BZT for him should be a straight swap.
