Confirmed Harry Perryman [to Collingwood as UFA]

[Nvent]

If GWS get Band 1 and St Kilda get Band 2, the Saints CEO is going to lose his shit.

Apparently we were interested in Perryman earlier in the year which baffles me. We have half a dozen of him on our list.

Think all clubs do he’s really just a vanilla player.

I mean, he is probably better than vanilla, but the numbers being talked about are crazy.

We will know soon enough though, when GWS get their compensation.

For signing a free agent to make the side better? What’s up your bum

Devaluing our picks with stupid contracts though Hawks have hurt us more.

More tongue in cheek than anything but I'll accept an admittance of being wrong for those of you getting antsy on the 900k talked about previously

Freo pick going back 1

Ah yes I forgot they were the only side affected

Nice.

Love this deal.

The absurdity of a team getting compo when an UNRESTRICTED free agent leaves is so, so, so dumb. The AFL is run by the smoothest of brains. When will this be fixed, if ever?

It’d be interesting to see how many free agents non traditional market teams lose compared to traditional ones.

Anyone who thinks the AFL doesn't use compensation picks as an equalisation lever to pull is insane.

Established player leaving a developing interstate club, they were always getting a tier 1 pick.

As it should… we have several players in their prime leaving on absurd money.

Compo for an UNRESTRICTED is dumb as rocks.

We have the worst trade/draft rules of any sport in existence. It's truly ridiculous

Contracted players nominating where they want to go, unrestricted players leaving getting clubs compo. It's laughable. AFL needs to grow up big time

Battle was band 1 for a supposed $800k deal so there’s still no actual evidence that Perryman got a $900k deal outside of media hyperbole.

 

[PatternAgainstUser]

It's a lean free agent market this year.

Perryman is more Swiss army knife than a difference maker, but good luck to the Pies.

Joins Schulz and McStay as capable role players on big contracts.

We do seem to pick and choose when the reported numbers suite us dont we

Simple. Do what they do in the NBA and disclose all payments.
