The article states we have lodged the paperwork for Pearce to join us.
That sounds like it is the formalizing of the deal and obviously means Pearce has agreed.
If that is the case , the club can sure keep important deals confidential .
I think Lyon said earlier on the club had a surprise or two in store.

Is this us going for the Sydney type "outside speed"... Pop it over DPs head, run into goal....
Haven't quite got my head around RFA yet, but my understanding is a player can only nominate 1 offer and then their current club gets a chance to match it.
If this is his 1 offer then the earliness of this offer makes it look like he's been our target for awhile.

Great mover, huge tank, suffers badly with a tag, which he won't be a chance of getting with us. I like it. Gives us pace and line breaking, a nice compliment to our heavy, contested ball winning, sometimes 1 paced midfield.
If this happens can we also trade the "ee" in Clancee for the y in Danyle? I know this who would leave Daneele with three es (Maybe we could give him a nickname eel) but at least Clancy would look right...
SEN saying that if Port can match the offer, Pearce is obliged to stay at Port.

Anyone think we should chase Sydney's Jesse white?
I imagine it'll be higher than a lot of people will be comfortable with. He's a restricted free agent, meaning he is already top 25% of Port (and they still have to pay 92% of the cap) and we don't want Port to match the offer. I wouldn't be surprised at $350K+

Freo is one smooth operator. This came out of no where. Loving the Professionalism of Freo these days.

He's not obliged too, according to the AFL site rules if Port match then he has to wait for a trade to be worked out or go in the draft.

That's how free agency works for a restricted free agent. If he still wants to leave he will have to be traded or go into the draft.
It'll probably be 4 years and around 1.8 - 2 mill. Players don't move for peanuts, and at 350k per annum, Port would be falling over themselves to sign him up. Remember average wage including rookies is around the 250k mark. He'd be in the top 10 players at Port.
That was the point I was making.

Don't think so Gauc, he's not likely to command that and I doubt we'd offer it. He's a nice compliment to us but he's not that far above what we have already to tie up that cash. He's not that highly regarded at Port either. He was droppped more than once this year from memory. I think he's a front running type which might not suit them at the moment.
If I were guessing, I'd say around 2-3 at $400-450k each year. We'll see I guess.

He is the first person opposition teams tag at port. He will run riot at Freo with Hill, Fyfe and Mundy getting all the tags. Ross The Boss will sort out he's softness. Good get if we can get him.
He's already proven to be in the top 25% of players paid at the club because he's a restricted free agent. I think people forget how big the salary cap is, A$8,780,000 with a salary floor of A$8,121,500 for 2011. Probably more now. It's big, clubs have to spend over 8 mill a year on their players minimum.
Most club have 10 or so players on minimum payment which is 75k-100k depending on how many games they play.
Leaving 7.5 mill to be spread amongst 30 players. That's 250k a pop averaged over the top 30, if Pearce is paid in the top 10, he'll definitely be getting around 500k, no problem what so ever.

True but that was a deal signed a while ago now based on better performances than those of recent times. Also before Boak, Trengrove, Butcher and I'm sure a few others got paid too.
I'll bet you a Monte Carlo he gets closer to $450k than $800k.
I guess it really depends on what they have offered him this time around though. If he's been asked to take a pay cut, then maybe we are simply offering less of a pay cut.
Am I correct in thinking we can load the first year of, say, a three year contract, seeing we have the majority of our stars signed through to 2014, in order to take the offer out of reach of PAFC, then bring Danyle in line with what his actual market value is for 2014 onward?
