Free Agency Brad Crouch [joins St Kilda as a RFA for pick 23]

[CatToTheFuture]

The AFL's secret formula for free agency compensation

Length of contract is largely irrelevant, but a one-year age gap can make a big difference.

www.theage.com.au

explains it well in this article...

No it does not. "Just missed out" is not a quantifiable fact

 

[CatToTheFuture]

A free Brad Crouch would do wonders for Geelongs midfield in a finals like game....

Would let Dangerfield play up fwd without the midfield getting crushed

You could have 3 Brad's in there and it would not have changed the outcome tonight

 

[HairyO]

Genuinely struggling to see how a Bloke who wouldn’t be in the best 4/5 midfielders of most top 8 teams would be worth such massive coin

Just as baffling as 3rd year players who cant get games apparently being worth 1st round picks.

Its the silly season.

 

[Bearded Clam]

No it does not. "Just missed out" is not a quantifiable fact

Nothing that is said on these draft, trade & Free Agency threads are “quantifiable” facts..

That is quantifiably incorrect

Should have had Josh Jenkins as he is a straight kick for goal

There hasn't been a time yet where a club yet has matched a bid to force a trade. They have all gone straight to trade before a bid with mutual agreement from the club. The most likely case is to avoid compensation loss. Even danger wasn't bid on. Geelong agreed to go straight to trade. I can only remember 1 player bid matched and they didn't get traded. I think if crows match a bid it is because brad and crows agreed on his worth and he stays. I don't think that will happen now. I think it will be either crows tell him he no longer has a place there or he will accept a 1 year offer at crows. If you look into the article about the tigers interests. It said it the interest was before the drug incident.

Crows made it clear to the Cats they would match for Dangerfield.... hence was done by a trade.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

After BCrouch drug bust.
His value is diminished. So Adelaide will have to keep him or accept very late first round if lucky.
Geelong could be generous enough to cough up their last first round pick. (16) which would be just a bit better than end of first round(20) or second round(22).
Those picks will also be pushed back due to GWS compensation for Williams and Corr. And during the draft a lot of the Academy players set to be bid on fairly early.
Adelaide should just keep him now.

Yes, the drug bust now means we get to keep Brouch on a little less money...

To be less honest , nobody actually care , people just looking for disagreement and reaction trying to win the argument , nothing to do with little less or more . Is all about reaction .From reaction 2 erection .

Pick 2, nicely powdered, mmm

Pick 20, nicely powdered, mmm

Fixed it for you.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Fixed it for you.

LOL, you're right, reckon he'll be staying and getting a club imposed penalty. Think the only pick 2 we'll get is one in 2021 for finishing ahead of Wooden Spooner North!

Wouldn’t be a bad outcome. Just don’t let Brad and Tyson near the new recruits.

Tyson is a richmond plant - sent there to ensure Richmond get Crouch on the cheap however possible..it almost worked

What was it 69 points??????

 

[The 747]

Yeah idk I think Tom Lynch may have him covered.

I think Buddy Franklin might have them both covered, just quietly.

 

[foxdog50]

Crow till I die you been very vocal in Crouch, but in all seriously... Where do think Crouch will be playing in 2021? And what will you get in return in pick wise..

I think the illicit drug issue will be a non issue when it comes to clubs tabling offers after watching the dust settle and seeing rational heads in the media comment..not the partisans like the 5 minute fireman or rucci who are always conflicted.

I think he will get an offer around the $700k mark for 4-5 years and that will be one that is a grey area on FA. Could fall just inside band 1 if over $700k or band 2 if under or years are less.

I think the crows will look to match a deal that they feel wont be band 1 and will swallow his contract length. It may then become a trade and if geelong if i was the club i would be saying pick 11 + or no deal. Where that goes who knows. If it is port then crouch stays as tgey have nothing of value in terms of draft picks and cant use any of the drafts as a threat.

But the gut feel is he stays

Fair enough, like your view and if that's your belief..... I may dis agree with part of that, but thats your views though

Crows fans can continue to dream on in this thread, some laughable things getting thrown around...

Crouch remains a “very good midfielder” but wasn’t worth enough to see Adelaide gain a first-round compensation pick if he left.

He vales Crouch around $500,000 per season and on a deal fewer than four years.

Laughable. Keep clutching those straws.
