I'm not struggling... Far from it.

I understand that the offer has to be submitted to the AFL, signed by the player and the offering the club first. Otherwise, there is no offer.., and no need for matching.

The question is, what constitutes matching? Terms and restrictive conditions relating to the length of contract is not the same as matching an offer of a length of contract that is unconditional.

Go back and read my first post that you responded to. It is my belief that on a strict reading of the rule, if the offer was matched on all the elements as set out in the rule, even if there was a right of termination added in, it would still technically constitute a matching offer.

However I am pretty sure the GC would readily use his discretionary powers to rule that it is not a matching offer in actuality. Happy now?

A lot of panic about Frampton possibly costing us a 3rd and Hill a 2nd.

If we are a genuine chance at bringing in the 5 players linked to us, plus our own 1st, plus the possible 1st/2nd for Grundy, there's a likelihood we wouldn't use those picks in the draft anyway.

I'm not fussed with late picks this year

future 2nd/3rd in what looks to be a good draft next year. I think thats the issue. But we could deal with that next year, always bring picks forward if came to be.
 
Ollie Henry (Collingwood)

“For all the links to Geelong, I wonder how that trade would actually happen because Collingwood will want a handsome return for a player who was a first round pick a few years ago,” he said.

“He kicked 21 goals this year…yes he fell out of favour late in the season, but they’re not just going to hand him over.

“Can the Cats get this done considering everything else that is going on (with their other deal)?”

If Mr Edmund changing his tune?

I did wonder if it was possible, did Geelong cool on Ollie and put their efforts into Bowes instead?

Either that or they think they can do all three.
 
we currently have picks 42 and 47 for this year..... hill and frampton.....probably overkill for frampton....get a pick 50 or similar back...
 
So, are we all set for the Cats to emerge as a bidder for DeGoey, to replace Selwood and boost their quest for back-to-back Premierships?

Having missed out on Hopper, they're gonna be very keen for an A-grade midfielder top-up trade.

Oh yeah, he'll fit in down there, with their players taking unders to keep the band together!!

As long as jordy is happy to play for $600K a year

This is what I don't get... On the Geelong board they've basically got them all locked in. Oliver is the last they need from a list point of view and they absolutely need us to play ball to get it done.

Look at what they did in transforming the previously-wild Tyson Stengle. They'd be confident of getting the best out of DeGoey too, if they can find the dollars to lure him.

I have no doubt that the Cats will want to land a big fish to keep their run going. No rebuilding through the draft for them. Their window is right now. Who are the gettable big fish left out there? Parish? Mitchell? DeGoey? I know which of that trio I'd be chasing if I were the Cats!

Much happier now, and better than your condescending and belittling replies previously.
I can understand your view, but my view is that adding a clause to the term does not constitute an identical term.

Same as getting a 5 year warranty with unlimited Km's on a new car, versus a warranty that says "we also give you 5 years, so long as you don't drive more than 1,000 ks in that period". That period of warranty is also dependent on something else rather than strictly time.

Anyway, differing views, and that's what keeps lawyers and courts busy, and contract negotiations fun:cool:

You’re a brave man going in to argue about contract law with a (former) solicitor who specialised in contract law.

Former solicitor? Yeah well, Grundy used to be an AA ruckman…

… LOL too far? :D

If Geelong are super keen on this Bowes pick 7 deal , that would surely soak up any cap space with Bruhn and Henry

Your bolding and all caps of a word that isn't in the rule deserved a belittling. The car warranty example is nonsense. I gave you the get out which is the AFL's discretionary powers.

I reckon he’d be a fair chance to be a walk up start next year for them alongside Stengle, Cameron and Hawkins.

Other than those three I don’t think anyone else is guaranteed a game.

One would expect what is posted on the official AFL website regarding the RFA matching process would be correct.
No, i didn't look at the wording in the CBA, but i expected the context and wording to be correct on their website.
But i still wouldn't expect your belittling.

Anyway, again, your opinion on the warranty example doesn't surprise me. Same, same.
