Hi lads, excuse the intrusion. Would love to keep Battle, but clearly gone.
Obviously a pick in the 20s is a disaster our end. Are there any players on your list with either a bad contract or surplus to needs that come to mind that we could take on?
If we could provide a bit of salary cap relief, perhaps the Hawks could come up 50k
The whole system is a joke, would be devasting to go from pick 7 to late 20s over 50k.
I like Battle and think he's a good player but geez 850k seems steep anyway even with the cap increase.
I agree, that was a joke. At least it didn't hurt you too badly.Saints supporters claiming pick 21ish for Battle is a disaster????
try pick 18 for one of the greatest players of all time grrrrrrrr

If it came to that, we would be stupid not to look at a deal like that. We are actually light on in the small forward stakes.Yep, Harry Morrison is UFA but if he leaves we get no compo if battle is coming in. So prefer he is traded out. Or Sam Butler may want to play with his bro at Saints and he is behind quite a few in his preferred role.
So your 2nd pick or F2 should do fine.
PS : prefer to keep Harry as depth but I suspect he will look around. In that case, prefer a trade with Saints if we are not able to keep him.
The AFL are a joke so we should absolutely be doing a handshake deal. We give 900k for battle so you get pick 7. We give you Jai Serong who’s a good developing 3rd tall back who won’t get a game with battle and Barrass coming in for your r2 and a swap in our favour when he’s more like a r3 pick. Everyone including the players win.Hi lads, excuse the intrusion. Would love to keep Battle, but clearly gone.

So now they are quoting 800-850k where as Ralphy was previously guessing 950KHere is the latest in the Josh Battle saga according to Jon Ralph.

Now compare respective lists and overall finish between us in 2014 and St Kilda now.
Why is nuance so hard?

clearly the concept is beyond you.
Sounds like we are an 85% chance to get him according to thatHere is the latest in the Josh Battle saga according to Jon Ralph.

It’s an even Battle according to Ralphy.Sounds like we are an 85% chance to get him according to that![]()

They musn't think we would be talking to Battle!!!!!!!!Aka Saints want us to up the offer to get first round compensation and are leaking.
Gen Z kids will never know the joy of a fax machine set to redial thinking you’re number is a fellow fax machine and calling you all afternoon to share its lovely siren song.
Wonder if the AFL would veto something like that. They would've already seen our initial offer and if we all of a sudden ridiculously up it just to trigger band 1 and then all of a sudden there's also a trade between Hawthorn + the Saints then that would surely set off alarm bells. I mean it's not like we're Geelong where we can get away with thing shiesty stuffThe AFL are a joke so we should absolutely be doing a handshake deal. We give 900k for battle so you get pick 7.

No, we can offer him 1 year on 300k if he accepts it.Saints can’t match but I was under the impression the contract we offer him still must be equal or more than the contract they offer him.
So, in theory, they could offer him an inflated contract and force ours to be similar.
Ross likes playing games.
Free agency exists for the players to extract maximum value for themselves.I totally agree but **** i hate that clubs are legit using free agency to rort ridiculous compensations. If they think Battle is worth 900k they would have offered it already, trying to offer just enough to get other clubs to outbid and cause these massively over the top compensation picks is so stupid.
