List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[Pragmatic Shill]

 

[danielnajdek]

Sounds like tampering to me.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Actually when you think about if his salary is around the $1m mark that’s 3 x young gun salaries. So we’d be giving up two first round pick, 2 established players, 2 draftees we would have used on the picks plus three young guns for his salary.

Even as one of the board’s biggest advocate for bringing Houston in I can’t quite justify the cost of 2 picks and 7 players.

Don’t forget we’re also giving up JFN’s 5 future kids and their children! So it’s going to cost us over 20 players just for Houston. The club has gone too far.

Next stop is Houston.

and when you factor in future FS of those potential draftees, that could blow out to 12 players.

Everyone sooking about the Perryman and Battle compo

If they get Pick 2 for a plodder like Graham that’s a sign that the compo system is cooked 100%

Both of the guys listed at the top are much better players than him

 

[TakingThePies]

He's better than Frampton

He's really not. They're about the same.

damn it, beat me to it

 

[TakingThePies]

Isn't that draft tampering?

 

[Soups]

Should have kept that one to himself

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Next stop is Houston.

The key there will be somehow prying 12(14) out of Gold Coast

Then maybe we can get Port involved with Richards

Perryman, Houston and a delisted free agent or someone like Tomlinson as another UFA would be a fantastic off season in an off season with no first rounder

 

[unplugged]

He has lost a lot of credibility with this thought bubble.

The fact Graham isn't worth any money over $500k p/a and you have no ability to restructure a free agent's contract... yuck.

 

[Jafo]

Wow. Pick 2.

Where does this leave Bolton?

It's a scam if you'd ask me

Decent chance of this happening I reckon.

 

[nahnah]

I'm emotionally invested in Houston now

Fingers crossed

There really is no reason the compensation picks should come after a team’s own pick. They should be end of round if anything at all. If the AFL wants to help struggling clubs they can still give priority picks wherever they want. It’s just yet another example of a poorly thought system by the AFL that makes the draft even more problematic (biggest culprit are academies and that will become abundantly clear in the next few years).

 

[gerryg400]

Wouldn’t Norf jump in and take Baker?

 

[sr36]

Why wouldn't Eagles just cut Richmond out of it. Give a standard contract for Graham and persuade Baker to nominate for the psd. Better for them as they wouldn't be stuck with a horrible contract.

 

[Jen2310]

Wouldn’t Norf jump in and take Baker?

Probably not when he's made it clear he is going home for family reasons
Its why he isn't on the open marker, but only to WA clubs and have nominated the eagles

 

[left at home]

It’s chess with a pigeon mate! Remember Saturday? There’s no point trying to explain it they’ve made up their mind.

 

[unplugged]

F5ing for that Houston drop

Or they could be given additional compensation based on the ladder position and contract bands. So if you set bottom of the first round as the starting point,then allocate picks accordingly.
