List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[gtrain23]

I love all the doom and gloom about this young fella

We turned frampton and Oleg into premiership players

No faith at all in our club

Peatling next, just a matter of waiting till trade period starts

He was a lock in one of the best sides in the comp. It's a very astute pick up

 

[cakewalk06]

Yeah whilst referencing 300 times that hes a 'half back" thats being offered "crazy money" after "never having a top 3 Best and Fairest finish". Salty Richmond w***er can never write a rational article about us without a few sneaky jabs

For the rest of this career (if he goes to Pies), every time Perryman is mentioned by Ralph and other special journos you will also get a breakdown of how much they think he is being paid.

 

[manicpie]

Imagine if we somehow pinch Houston from Carlton. It will be like floating to the top of the bubble chimney at the chocolate factory

Yikes.

Yikes.

No yikes, bargain

I want more

6 year deal Jon Ralph says

Both Port and GWS offered 6yr terms too so it’s not like we went over and beyond.

Probably helped that he was a pies fan growing up and a lot more stable knowing that Fly will be here longer than Ken.
The added lure of midfield minutes also helps

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Ok now that that’s done…

 

[soreplums]

I’m not too worried about the money reported. There’s always a media tax that inflates the actual contract.

Remember the melts when McStay was signed? That contract is chump change now pretty much.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I’m not too worried about the money reported. There’s always a media tax that inflates the actual contract.

They also have no idea what we can actually afford, or the ways that we can structure the deal to reduce the impact of the extra money that's functionally a free agency signing bonus.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Remember the melts when McStay was signed? That contract is chump change now pretty much.

The cap has gone up by 25%, and this contract is 25% higher, so it's essentially the same as the McStay contract.

 

[BigVic]

Perry for free and for 6 years. Will take it and he is good mates with Bobby Hill plus a Pies fan when he was a kid

You’ve drawn a penis with a stick.

I think it's fair enough for Pies fans to be wary of long term contracts given our history. Particularly in this case because this Perryman is not a star player. I understand it's the going rate, doesn't mean I can't be a little nervous. 6 years is decent stint.

Edit. HS now saying 7 years.

 

[Axl the great]

I enjoy the fact we went after someone and they chose us.

I mean, imagine being North and going after ten players each year and getting no one.

I would comfortably assume that to be nonsense

 

[Scodog10]

I’m not too worried about the money reported. There’s always a media tax that inflates the actual contract.

Out of curiosity when has this ever happened? Let alone on a consistent enough basis for there to be a “media tax”.

The journalists get this from the clubs that have either missed out or are going to miss out (in the case of Perryman probably the Giants). It’s a small industry that publishes the contract payments of the top 100 paid players every year. The numbers and terms being bandied about for these guys by the media are at worst in the ballpark there’s little to no mayo in most if not all reported cases.

The accuracy of reporting FA moves is doubly important because of the restrictions on restructuring the contract after the fact.

 

[peter9789]

Perryman as an unrestricted free agent is the silver lining. No draft cost, just salary and with 25% increase circa $800k salary is equivalent to $600k - its still slight overs for me but you need to pay overs to get them in. Good move by the club.

Assuming we will head to the draft and do deals on Noble and Richards and see if we can snag anyone else. We must have a KPD in our sights - hoping we can pull a rabbit out of the hat here.

Doubt we are any chance to land Houston given what Port will want for him.

Never believe the reported dollars

Those numbers are always wildly inflated

Players joke about them all the time in interviews and show appearances

If you were to believe the numbers reported by footy journos, you’d think every clubs cap was eleventy billion dollars
