We essentially got McCarthy, Logue, Darcy, Brad Hill, Ryan, Duman and Cox for Weller and our picks that year
Oh and we also got Joel Hamling

Goodbye to the most overrated FFC player of the decade. Lots of hype, can run, can't kick consistently and selfish (i.e constantly calls for the sideways handball for a play on and hasn't actually looked to see he can't play on)
Get a load at this clown clubs are going to off load first rounders and pay him up to 900,000 a season and this amateur keyboard warrior reckons he’s a dud lol.

So I am. 2016 was using the compo pick from Mayne, yes?

Because players haven't been overpaid before when traded? Remember Shane Woewoeful? Or Kurt Tippet? Tom Boyd? Tom Scully? Dale Thomas? I mean the list goes on.
To get this straight. What are we emailing them about?
I'd be emailing about our player retention and the ability for other clubs to get in our players ears.
Three consecutive years of us losing a key part of our future and/or midfield (Weller, Neale, BHill and Langdon).
We got a good deal for Weller but it doesn't change the fact that we had invested a shed load into him and he walked. Same with Neale, BHill and Langdon.
Players poached by clubs that weren't going well at the time as well.
Gold Coast, Brisbane, Saints and Melbourne.

What do the$e four club$ have in common?
All team$ have ca$h to $pend on good player$.
Not all teams lose this caliber of player.
It's clearly a player retention issue though.
Guys like Pav, Mundy and Fyfey have turned down more money than we could afford on a regular basis.
That doesn't seem to be the case now. Once weakness is identified then teams will be asking questions of our player more frequently. Surely this can't be a good thing.

Yes. I hope there is an article in two to three years talking about how a young superstar of Freo is all down to a pick #40 in 2007.
#40 - Chris Mayne - 172 games for Freo
Free agency compensation traded to Hawks for Brad Hill
Brad Hill traded for pick #5 and 2020 1st for our 2020 2nd.
#5 - Gun freo hero wins flag.

You'll be suggesting that if players are going to leave after we have invested so much into them that you expect very high returns, and when contracted you expect even more.
Demand three top ten picks. Suggest that to accept less will be an embarrassment and that the club needs to make it clear that poaching our players with big money deals will cost them the farm in trade.
When you're already one of the top earners of your club, the difference between being stinking filthy rich or filthy rich is not really that great of an incentive on its own. it's the guys who are the middle/lower earners at a club that will most likely make decisions dictated by salary.
They are the East Coast equivalent of Fremantle?

Just in addition to this, because you're right, Pavlich heavily benefited from veterans list rules allowing half his contract to be outside the cap. Mundy not so much but still roughly $120,000 extra a year we were able to pay him without impacting the salary cap.
Both were rewards post their most marketable periods but both had already established a valuable brand that they were able to cash in on. The players who move clubs don't have such a legend unless they are superstar brownlow medalists.
Nathan Fyfe will make a lot of money from being a single club, superstar of the AFL. I expect the veterans list rules to change again by his time coming around though.

1 in 5 disposals is a turnover. That's not even counting 50/50 disputes on ball.
Not true.
Pav: Behind the scenes Powerbroker kept Pav in Perth. He was given a lot more than just his playing salary.
Mundy: He only turned down more money and a move to Vic because his wife is WA-born. It was a non-negotiable within the Mundy household.
Fyfe: He is making the same, if not more, than he would have at any other club.

From Perthnow
“So back in June/July we had a conversation with Peter (Bell) and it was an honest conversation saying that Brad for family reasons would like to move back to Melbourne.
“You obviously like to keep that private and confidential, so I don’t know how that snuck out.”
Love how Colin Young claims to not know how it snuck out????
