I can't take all the credit. The real praise should go to the jester factory masquerading as a well run organization.Brilliant
You have talked about Freeman & Shaz as both being on 93k base. I corrected you a week ago on Shaz so very disappointing that you are still sprouting the same stuff. Unknown Identity even posted the extract from CBA player agreement. Please look at it again and note the bit about 'number of senior matches in previous year'. 93k is for 16+ matches in previous year. Shaz & Freeman played nil senior matches so are both on 73k base.
(There are also errors in your post about academy players 2 pages back but I'm not going to point them out if you don't take on board feedback). If you don't understand things than better to ask questions than mislead other posters.
thanks for posting this. $250k is a lot if the base wage but not so much (for a first round talent) if is base & match payments. Personally I suspect figures bandied around are more likely to be base + match.
Goodyear! He will be the next Swan!Yeah I'm not sure Freeman out and Aish in is a good result unless we have someone with elite foot speed marked in this years draft pool or via trade.
Obviously if we had a crystal ball and knew if Freeman will ever get on the park would be handy.
Elite speed is something we need.
You can dream...but keep it to the ones about Miranda KerrGoodyear! He will be the next Swan!
I can dream can't I???
And he will be banned for 2 of those yearsMelksham to the Dees on 1.6 million over 4 years.

Pfft! He is Melkshit.He has Potential and that is not a Massive Contract compared the one Treloar will get from us

Okay, so GWS want Hopper through their academy.
Let's say Hopper attracts a bid in the top 5 (which is where he seems to be rated), GWS then need to come up with 1,502* points to get him. Given GWS currently have pick 8 - which has a point value of 1,551 - they can get him at that pick. However, if Carlton were to get a band 1 compo pick for Kreuzer if we say offered him a biggish contract, suddenly all picks drop a spot and GWS end up with pick 9 which is worth 1,469 which is now not enough to get Hopper. So our 1st pick - whether that remains at 7 or drops to 8 - will be crucial in GWS getting Hopper.
It's certainly within our grasp to effect the draft in terms of it dropping down a cog. If we offered Kreuzer a juicy contract, that would activate band 1 and push GWS out of the frame to nab Hopper with their first round pick. Our 1st pick drops down too but we retain at pick 7 or 8 the points that GWS need to get Hopper. But even if we don't take Kreuzer and the AFL dishes out a compo pick to Brisbane and everyone drops down, the same logic applies. GWS would still need our pick 8 points to get him.
To put it another way, GWS need our pick 7(8) which is why Richmond's nonsense talk about blowing us out of the water with 2 first rounders is a sham. Their pick 12 (13) is not going to help GWS land Hopper. And in this draft it's a bit of a shabby pick anyway.
GWS want our first round for Hopper. If the draft order remains unchanged, all the sweeter for GWS. They can use their pick 8 to nominate for Hopper while using our pick 7 in the draft.
This is why people should stop shitting themselves about being involved in some bidding war with Richmond. Our first and a second round pick is more than enough to get the job done.
* the points required for pick 5 is 1878 but once a 20% discount is applied to academy players the figure becomes 1,502

Guys, we've had a request from BF Admin for posters on the Pies board to stop tagging in opposition fans to our threads, including - or especially - Richmond fans. Its got to stop. And no pretending that its for the purpose of friendly banter or genuine discussion. You all know the latter is OK, but that's not what's happening.
I will repeat this message on other threads.
Shadow boxer. He throws a lot of punches but non of them land.Pfft! He is Melkshit.
WHO?No to slow, I have someone else in mind.
$400k per year is absurd for a player of Melksham's modest talent no matter which way you spin it.He has Potential and that is not a Massive Contract compared the one Treloar will get from us
But we can still bag Brisbane can't we?

Your two bolded statements are incorrect based on below rules
"in order to pay for the player, the Nominating Club’s next available pick move backwards in the draft order to the value of the points
required.
•If the points required are greater than the value of the next available pick, the remaining points are subtracted from the Nominating Club’s
next selection and so on"

I reckon it's worth rookie listing him or Harvey, I remember the port fans wanting them to playI would love us to Sign Mason Shaw as a De-Listed Free Agent
