Luko’s preference is Port (offer around 3.6m over 4 years). Cumming will be a crow. Come at me

I've finally found you, I knew you were a closet Port Power supporter

 

[GreyCrow]

It's always around this time.

Yeah I think 1st payment - if on the drip - comes out late October so a need to give time to get numbers in

 

[LoBu]

Have a look at how the Victorian media see other clubs paying and absolute premium for Richmond players to help their rebuild. Just look at that pick trade they spitball with Brisbane..like get stuffed VFL media. Complete fan fiction being peddled as journalism.

How six trades can revitalise Richmond’s list in one offseason

2024 wasn’t a lot of fun for Richmond, but by following this blueprint they won’t stay anchored to the bottom of the ladder for long!

It's fanciful but it's hardly vic media, just a guy on wordpress

I don't like the email I received. Doesn't specify what my membership even is. Just says it will be taking out a certain amount next month. This was the first year I signed up, so I'm not happy that there isn't more information or an option to just opt out on the site. Have to call them.

No way Port could get that contract as well as Perryman’s contract under the cap

Houston leaving will negate Luko's contract at the least

Maybe Perryman is not going to Port?

View attachment 2115766

Mmmm ....Either Trigger13 has been exposed .....or he's plagiarised a Port Board post & insinuated it's 1st hand information

Always good to give due credit to the original poster

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Houston leaving will negate Luko's contract at the least

It's going to be a difficult juggle, if any Houston trade goes down to the wire on the last day .....if a lot of things hang off Houston, how will these other trades / contracts get done in time

 

[Golumless]

Cant believe McHenry would be still trying to stay with us...it's against HIS interests!? Our highly contested game does not suit a small gut running guy who's good at doing short hit-ups. He's be way better off at clubs with more open running game plans, like Collingwood or GWS to make two. The guy's mad not to try and get out, gonna sink his career by not making a move. Even just playing seconds for a year in the Eastern states where he'd dominate and make the headlines and likely be picked up mid year makes way more sense than trying to continue with us? Surely someone in the club that's all about "prioritizing others" has said this to him?

Why? It's clear if he's trying to stay with us when out of contract in mid-to-late September, he doesn't have a gig elsewhere and is unwanted. There is no doubt his agent would have asked every club in the league and made it clear he was available, as they would for everyone out of contract and wanting to continue in the AFL.

And it's always better to be on an AFL list then in the VFL/SANFL, because you're always one (usually bad) injury to someone else away from the opportunities to revive a career. Whereas, once you're out, there are no guarantees that even dominating the second tiers gets you another look in.

Yep..although you would imagine they could stall the luko trade until houston was done

Of course they could

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Houston trade could go down to the wire ....

 

[dplggr47]

Houston trade could go down to the wire ....

Well, Luko's preference was to stay at GC ...

They don’t have the drat pick to satisfy Gold Coast and they certainly don’t have the cap if the get Perryman

 

[FR0GGY]

They’ll get him for a song in the end.
Gold Coast have pushed him out.

 

[Cromulant]

Yeah they do

 

[Danger in Texas]

They don’t have the drat pick to satisfy Gold Coast and they certainly don’t have the cap if the get Perryman

They’ll have the pick if Houston leaves, I imagine the Power will get two mid-to-late firsts for him

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

and let's be fair.. they're a lot better at this stuff than us.

Eh, offer long enough contracts and it's doable. Especially if Houston is off the books.

 

[BunjiMC]

Even more cap space and picks if Butters leaves.

 

[crow2crow]

nobody cares

 

[Golumless]

Even more cap space and picks if Butters leaves.

And that's the other thing. If you think Butters is gone once he hits FA, you're all in now whilst you have that trio of midfielders.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They’ll have the pick if Houston leaves, I imagine the Power will get two mid-to-late firsts for him

No chance.

Houston is worth closer to a late 1st rounder.

 

[Crowked]

I know it hasn’t really kicked off yet but it’s difficult to imagine how we are going to get enough talent in the door to make a significant difference.

If our only additions are ANB and Cumming through FA and trading we won’t be playing finals again next season. That’ll be 8 freakin seasons!!

It’s getting very hard to give a shot about the club or AFL in general.
