Hot Topic Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

Cooney's Mega Trade for the day.

Stick to burger rings you

I was thinking more along these lines Aph

 

[manang magoos]

WTAF?

Absolutely BS

Pick 8 for Battle

He's an UFA what a farce!

The AFL looooooooove looking after the Saints.

Pathetic.

 

[Yubby]

That's so disappointing for us sliding back. Likely to happen for GWS and Perryman too.

 

[manang magoos]

What the actual ****, seriously

Outrageous

You watch GWS get the same for Perryman

You wouldn’t pick either at that number in the national draft in a million years

Well Perryman is the bigger deal, so definitely. Fortunately the GWS pick is after ours.

What a farce! If you want something back for your player, sign him up. Free agency should not disadvantage 16 other clubs

AFL throwing the whiney Joe Dirts a bone because they were sad. Pathetic.

Exactly. The AFL are just following their process here. Hawthorn are the one's that have triggered such a high pick.

They are obviously paying a huge amount here. Having said that, we don't know the structure of the deal over the course of the contract. Also, I trust the Hawks will get the most out of him and turn him into a player worthy of the contract. At least, let's wait and see.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Feel sorry for pick 8 whoever it be.

 

[Benaly28]

Guys here there is no Petracca,No Petracca here,Petracca not here.

The annual amount is reportedly not that high. They changed the system this year to factor in contract length rather then just annual average salary.

But if this means clubs can just offer 7 year deals on moderate money to trigger band 1 compo then that's a big problem. Makes it much easier to take advantage.

I’m stoked the Hawks have paid that much for a frankly unremarkable defender

Will need lots to retain:
Dear, Newcombe, Day, Moore etc.

Plus they’re signing Barass for a lot too, who is a good defender (one I’d have liked) but not amazing by any stretch

Doesn't the 'points system' the AFL use stop accruing points after year 5. So a 7 year contract is the same as a 5 year one.

Saints get pick 8 for Battle …

Madness

The formula needs major surgery…wonder what their president will say.

The "points system" is not real, it's just a mechanism for the AFL to give handouts to their favourite clubs like the expansion teams, any northern club, St Kilda, Collingwood, Essendon etc.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Free Agency Compensation needs to be abolished.

Mind boggling that they don't factor in a player's achievements/status in the game...

 

[ESKIE]

It’s AFL makey uppey

 

[SirSanchez]

All our hard work, investment and time and resource put into trades and list management is at risk due to the whims of the idiotic and imbecilic afl throwing out ridiculous picks for an UFA.
I hate that they hate our club so much. And favour their little pet clubs.
