Free Agency Harry Perryman - Joins Collingwood as UFA

[Snuffaluphagus]

We're paying Harry more so GWS get band 1 compo so they look after us with the Peatling trade.

Yeah, gotta get that 4 pick upgrade in an incredibly even draft, I'm sure it will come with a massive Peatling discount

 

[Revan11]

Why do UFAs get compo picks? Surely only reserved for RFAs?

 

[Northernsoul74]

$800k a year!!?? How can such an ordinary player get a contract worth $900k a year? Collingwood will not be able to fit his $1M a year salary and will have to pay half of his $1.1M a year salary for him to play elsewhere!

Because it will likely miraculously trigger band 1 compo. The clubs are 4 steps ahead of the afl.

 

[Giant Pete]

Allows them to continually bring in high end talent to refresh their list.

Fonti looks superb.

 

[Giant Pete]

Sam Edmund just said 6 x $900000 plus, with a possible option for a 7th.
Yew!

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Commiserations to Port.

Really???

Not sure he's an ordinary player, but he'll never be a superstar.

I'm not sure he's the player Collingwood need either

WTF? So you should lose best 18 players for nothing? Great idea.

We need plenty

 

[Orange Agent]

When you have the best player in the league only 3 seasons into his career and you have traded out your picks what else do you do? The 30+ group are on their last legs.

 

[CrowToon]

Really???

What do you mean?

 

[Revan11]

For UFAs yes

 

[Orange Agent]

For UFAs yes

One of the stupidest things I've read on here.

Great deal for Perryman. Nice work by his management.

Giants won’t miss him.

I’ll reserve judgement on the Pies side of the deal, but on face value it seems crazy for someone I’ve never thought of as anything other than an average footballer.

October 2 2024 -
"We look forward to you dominating our midfield for 6 years to come"

Round 1 2025 -
"Well John Nobles gone and we dont have anyone at half back so we will just need you to play there for a little bit"
"Okay how long"
"6 years"

J Daicos and Crisp will play half back next year

Good average role-player crazy money congrats Perryman set up for life.

Well take the orange sunnies off firstly mate. Just because someone’s opinion differs to your narrow view doesn’t make it stupid.

Compo in the first place for free agents defies what a free agent is. Literally doesn’t happen in any other sport. Dilutes the draft again in top of how super compromised it already is.

I can maybe understand RFAs when clubs can match, but the compo system is a rort. Just get rid of it completely or make a new way outside of the draft that clubs can be compensated.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I can maybe understand RFAs when clubs can match

If anything it should be the other way around, where there's ONLY compensation for UFAs, not RFAs.

GWS could claim that they deserve compensation for Perryman as a UFA leaving because there is nothing they can do to stop him.

As it currently stands, if Perryman was a RESTRICTED free agent, and GWS had the right to match, they could actively choose not to match and let him walk, and still get free agency compensation? Why would you compensate a team who's actively choosing not to keep the player they apparently are so hard done by to lose?

Makes no sense - It'd be like if you saw a guy stealing your TV and you just watched him leave your house with it, declined to file a police report because you didn't care about that old TV anyway, and then your insurance company still paid out your claim on it being stolen. You have to at least pretend you still want the thing for anyone to compensate you for losing it.

 

[Bevoman]

Really???

Port dodged a bullet

 

[TradeDraft]

Who said 900k reported is Correct?

Media has been wrong with going for Wages and be overs too

Wait for Club to announce it before we are sure what it is

 

[TradeDraft]

Also Port and GWS where willing to pay simmlar price with there Offers

 

[2notepockets]

Hope he stays fit so when they want to dump his salary in 3 years time he still has some suitors
