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

Remove this Banner Ad

The media sets a narrative. Clueless if you think not. They take a strong stance either side of an issue and that creates talking points. You are very simple if you think that doesn't happen. In this particular case I don’t think Crouch is worth 800k people have spoken about. But he’s a good mid who is a free agent. Teams pay slightly overs to get them out of a club and not cost them draft comp. I think it will be 650-750k. Depending on the team. And the deal will most likely be 4 maybe 5. That certainly puts them close to first rd compo. The 5th yr and the slight overs will decide that. But if a club can afford it and are in the window I say go for it. Doesn’t cost you anything in the draft and you can still get youth in. I think I’m a side where he’s the 2-3 best mid that’s a strong middle line and that’s where big games are won. We shall wait and see who takes the punt, I’m sure the next 3 weeks of finals will have a say in that.

Poster were arguing that the narrative was created in order to drive down a players value so the club they support would pick them up cheaply.

Direct your simpleminded insults and grammar elsewhere ESL boy.

250 in a single thread, they are rookie stats.
Where I am from you get a tiny bridge tattoo under your left eye for every 5000 trolls you take part in.
Including my another accounts I am a 5bridger son, step up.
Haha I remember the Dangerfield thread quite well, Marty must have a shiteload of Tatts under his left eye!
 
This isn’t true. As a 26 year old with bonus points applied, Brad would need to be in the top 15% of earners aged 25 and over to be in the ballpark for band 1 free agency compensation.


All over 25s are allocated points for (guaranteed) salary (0-100) and age (0-12). This gives them the total points they are judged on. The range being 0-112.

The players in the top 5% of total points get band 1 compo.

edit: if you assume an even age distribution at the top of the income earners, then Crouch would need to be in the top 9% salary-wise to be in the top 5% formula-wise. Happy to explain further.

Im not surprised I was arguing with insanely dumb posters who thought damger was coming for free and we would except a crappy compo pick when Adelaide could force a trade, i guess was justified and right a trade was required

Lets see how this plays out likelihood is very similar if we don't get what we watt out of the compo pick it will be a trade exactly the same as the danger deal

Luckily the chairman of the AFC said in a pre match lunch we will have pick 2, wonder what he means by that

it means you are bidding with pick 1? (only slightly serious)

You receive band one for being in the top 5%. Brad will get a small bonus for his age, but he'd still need to be close to that 5% of earners.

That puts him somewhere in the top 30 to 40 paid players in order to get it. $750k would get him very close, but it's hard to predict.

Whichever team wants him - St Kilda, Geelong, Carlton, Essendon - will have to weigh up whether it's worth the extra $50k to $100k in order to ensure the Crows don't match.

Hey tell us again how we'd have to give up two first rounders plus a great player for Dangerfield.....

Has to be guaranteed money too, can’t be incentivized. If anyone gives him 4-5 years at 750 without games played clauses they’re ****ing morons

WTF it was no trade we dont need to trade he is a FA

The trade was always going tobe greater than the compo that was the discussion

That will be the case again if its not band 1 it will be a trade that nets us greater than band 2

Seriously it's not that hard to understand

He'd clearly knocked back half a dozen bourbon's before saying that.

Sure, if you must.

I don't think we will get pick 2 for Brouch & he likely remains a Crow... or less likely a club in the premiership window like the Cats trade for him... as we are not going to let our best mid go for pick 21... which will likely slide further with all the bid matching.

Chapman was speaking out of his arse as he has no say in FA compensation.

No, we have posting very different likely scenarios.

You keep banging on about pick 2 or trade for 2x 1st rounders, which isn't happening.
 
So lets clarify the bet

If he goes as an RFA

I have adelaide receiving band 1

You have adelaide receiving band 2

If he is traded what do say of the outcome

Here we go Marty, you keep banging on about pick 2...as a few posts like this.

Imo, it won't be pick 2 FA compo... so we are not thinking the same likely scenarios!

Yes I am banging on about pick 2 or band 1 and i still believe we can get it for the obvious reason

But nothing about trading for two first rounders where the F did you get that from

In that made up world of yours

There was a Crows supporter who suggested it... & I assumed it was you... given you have been banging on about pick 2 like it's a given.

Apologies if it wasn't you as can't be bothered going though the whole thread to see who it was.
