Back to the thread. Its either Eagles or Sydney really. He isnt giving up 5+ mill cos he likes Caleb Serong. Freo simply wont even get in the same ball park as our financial offer
That 1st year will be $2m.
End of the day all those players traded in or as free agents plus all those academy kids need to get what they are worth.
And the Eagles have a mountain of cap space to front load and beat any offer the Swans or Freo can put up.
It's how the salary cap works.
End of the day it's his choice to move or stay in any case. And it sounds like he and his partner are looking to move back to WA. If the Swans had of won the flag it may well have happened last trade period.
example of how you guys are overtaking your youth.

Literally every single AFL fan whose ever supported a club does this. Not too sure why people call it such a gotcha moment.
In reality when it comes to Eagles/Freo the truth is always the middle ground.
Ginbey wont win a Brownlow but he will play 300+ games at a very high level which is a very good result for us. Pretending it isnt because he wont win a Brownlow Medal like Ben Cousins is a absurd take

I agree that West Coast will be able to offer more money than either Sydney or Fremantle for Chad Warner, I think that's beyond doubt - but the same was true for North when they were trying to buy everyone and nobody was interested.
There are some intangibles to it, but I do think commercially it will be better for Warner to go to West Coast. He'd win a brownlow medal there.

Every fan overrates their young players for sure.
You realize only one player played more than 300 games in West Coast history?

If West Coast have a semi-reasonable year, then I could see Warner going there. If they are bottom 3 again, then it might be a tough sell.

Yep. Ginbey would be the only player who I think could do it from recent times just because he is strong and versatile.
That's why they got Baker, Graham and Owies.
Three Big Factors to weigh in on the decision.
Money - WC
Location - WC & Freo
Competitive team in the near term - Sydney & Freo
If he wants Sydney he’ll be signing before Finals in 2025.

If it helps, they can make Serong part of the deal. I won't mind....
