Speculation Harley Reid [OOC 2026]

[The 747]

Agreed, but my point was that you can't trust the AFL

True

 

[Chief Hopper]

Only Essendon will give anything worth while for Harley in a trade.

If he goes to Geelong then WC should get ready to receive passed around draft scraps.

Then we match. Simple as that.

You clearly don't know why the FA system was designed to be the way that it is.

Then if Adelaide are smart they would just walk away

 

[jdstorm]

You do realise if you match and force a trade Crows aren't paying a 1st rounder for him based on his output from the past two years.

Go ask some Swans fans how they feel about trading out of contract players to the Crows.

Will likely depend on who finishes higher/lower on the ladder.

Essendon has the cap space to match a ridiculous contract and Adelaide won’t be able to walk him to the pre season draft if Essendon are worse than they are (possible)

if that’s the situation Adelaide paying overs to get the player they want and having it not cost them draft picks makes a lot of sense given the current system even if it is a massively stupid system.

If Essendon manage their typical mid table finish they probably just keep draper. He’s decent and they’d be better off keeping him and upgrading at other spots

Are we talking about the same Sam Draper?

Lol Band 1

If Adelaide were trading for Sam Draper I would be hoping we would use a pick around 40. Must be close to the worst starting ruck in the league

If Harley is going to smash that many chocolates every off season no one is going to pay 3 first rounders for him. Training photos first session back are ………disappointing.

Just a dirty bulk

Cool you should all just not bother anymore and stop offering him contracts

People say this but I can't recall any situations where it was wildly out of line with their public info about it

What was the TPP at the time though? Feel like it was about half what it is now

Again, salary cap change meant his contract was being measured against existing contracts which were signed under a smaller cap.
