List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.3

So we re-rookie Crouch and pay his 500k or whatever it is so we can have an extra main list spot for the draft?

Yep, we were paying his $500k either way but at least now we open up another draft pick.

Somebody above said only half his salary would fall under the cap.now, I didn't think that was the case but if it was that would be a bonus, I'd probably be happy to pass that onto NWM to keep him happy with the SA clubs sniffing around.

Has something happened??

When you re rookie a player you also renegotiate the contract, I’d say he’s taken a haircut with triggers

Only trouble with LDU is that North is likely to match any offer we make even the $1.5M being bandied around

Maybe that is why we are interested in trading out our F1 basically doing a Geelong we can't trade what we don't have so you are better taking the Free Agency Compo that forcing a trade.

There at least seems to be some credibility to this now though I still think if North start to improve and if we stumble into 2025 we will be out of the picture. Some talk he doesn't want the limelight/burden that being the highest paid player at Collingwood or Carlton would bring might be less heat at the Saints though he is still going to be the highest paid player in the AFL so will carry it's own burden.

Norff will still have to be spending 95% of the cap and they can only of bribed the players they traded in this year. With our youth heavy list we should be able to afford a very big contract and with compromised drafts on the horizon it may just tip them to accepting band 1 compo rather than what is effective going to be a bunch of picks outside the top 20.

I doubt it, even if we de-listed him we have to pay his contract. No reason in the world for him to accept a pay cut.

Band 1 would be infinitely better for North than trading with us.

Kinda figured we'd be a very good chance of getting Brayshaw but that now looks less and less likely. LDU is the one that would make the most difference to our team, he's just the type of player we lack. Him, Steele, Macrawdaddy with Pou and the younger crew plus a couple of top ten picks and some injury luck would definitely speed up the process and see us contending sooner rather than later. Hopefully with Luke our fortunes will change in regard to landing the proverbial big fish. Really though for this coming season, I just hope we can have more players available for longer. Injuries haven't allowed us to see what we can really do with what we've got, fingers crossed we do a lot better next year and have most of the list available.

We have to make it extremely tempting for him.
And that means wins.
So yes, hopefully we can keep out best players on the park because looked a different team second half of the year.

Yes. That contract will have specific financial specifications including match payment clauses. There is no chance he's taken anything less then what's owed on it and nor should he.
