Loves the club so much he’s leaving to go play 10 minutes down the road for reportedly the same money.
How long is this going to carry on for FHS?You know now too that because Ralph has opened his big mouth that every other supporter will say we have a handout if it is in fact Band 1. In a way, yea who cares, but I’m already sick of the yap about St Kilda
That last sentence of the AFL will this year take in consideration length of a contract will help our cause.
How long is this going to carry on for FHS?
When does it have to be settled?
We are all done with the speculation.
Enough already.
Might have to take a break from Big FootyBattle may announce next week ... and the compensation will not be officially confirmed until the signing period. Going to be a looooooooong 5-6 weeks.
Surely 850 over 6 years is enough to trigger band one. But it would be so st kilda to be on the wrong side of a rule change againThat last sentence of the AFL will this year take in consideration length of a contract will help our cause.
Edited for accuracy.......Yeah, shut up, we are trying to have irrational melts and air our unfounded grievances.

Christ how are the melts.
The Club will be very aware of what they need to do, and who they need to speak to, in order to receive Tier 1 compo.
Exactly how they worked through the Gresham situation last year.
Have a little faith, these Operators know how to play the game!

The HS article just repeats what others have said, but adds that it would be highly unlikely the Saints let Battle go for a end of first round compensation. People need to stop with the 'chicken little' statements and trust the club. There is no way they are letting Josh go for that and Hawthorn will come tot he party to ensure the salary triggers a first round compensation pick.
Its a very different scenario to Gresham last year, his salary was no where close to triggering the top compensation. Plus the club had correctly come to the conclusion that he was significantly over rated for the $$$ he wanted, which has proven to be absolutley correct with his games at Essendon.
Don't worry mate , there a few very special operators on here who think they know a hell of a lot more than the club
We don't get any say, he's unrestricted. Josh might sign for $150k a year and we get SFA compo.be highly unlikely the Saints let Battle go for a end of first round compensation
If we get band 2 then that will be a one way love.His daughter might play for the Saints one day. Let them run through the banner if they want to. Could even chair him off.
The guy obvisously loves the club. But this is the modern game, get the big bucks for your family while you can.

Maybe his daughter is the one leaving the club?Sam Edmund reporting that Battle has made a request to the club to run through the banner on Sunday with his daughter. It is game 123 for him.![]()
As I posted last night.
There are 4 triggers
Will be max points on contract years (new from this year)
Will max points on age
Will be very close on guaranteed value.
So even if salary is “band 2” the above should bump the compo to B1

I think he just wants to play at Hawthorn.The same money, really? OK I've been out of the loop on this but that's a bit strange. Have the club told him to look elsewhere so we get picks?
After listening to Ross' press conference when asked a question on Josh i'd say he knows he's gone.

I don't understand what they have to do with Battle leaving.If Battle fails to generate Band 1, Lethlean and Gallagher will both become even more reviled than they currently are.
Dumb and Dumber (On football talent/ list management) sadly maintained the poor standard of Trout and Bains before them and all have been a blight on our club.
