Free Agency Jack Graham - Heads to West Coast as FA

[Barrybran]

If you ****ers got us pick 2 for Graham I'd happily swap it with 4 in the Baker deal. What a rort that would be

Hmmm that's not bad actually

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Id do the trade version of this

Jack Graham gets 5 years 5 mill (just to be sure)
West Coast Eagles trade pick 26 for Liam Baker, 32 and 42

Richmond get pick 2 and 26 for Liam Baker, 32 and 42. This is equivalent of Pick 4 for Liam Baker

Seems a win for Richmond, Eagles and most importantly Jack Grahams wife

It also means it pushes the picks back 1 more and those flogs with Academy & FS picks use more points.

 

[WilloTree]

Honestly though he retired in 2023. Meh.

You could be onto something.

Eagles could do the same with North Melbourne too.

Big bid for Josh Rotham which nets us pick 5.
Eagles trade pick picks 13,26,30 for Zac Fisher
North trade pick 13,26,30 for Houston (Port cover some of Houston’s salary)

So deal is

Eagles get pick 5 and Zac Fisher for 13,26,30
North get Houston and Rotham for Zac Fisher
Port get 13,26,30 for Houston

North giving up 2 mill on salary space over 5 years basically to get Houston for cheap . Eagles take on Zac Fisher plus dump a ton of picks to get pick 5 as Thanks . Port gets picks to get trades done

We could also for example set it so Liam Baker gets less wages then he agreed on the proviso that Jack Graham and Liam Baker purchase a few Hungry Jacks franchise together upon which Liam Baker buys Jack Graham out of the investment further down the line for 1 dollar, essentially meaning Eagles retain the salary cap we want by Jack Graham forking over 1.5 mill to Liam Baker post career with the discounted sales on the Hungry Jacks franchises

So lets say we offered Liam Baker 4 years 2.8 mill right now. We change this to 4 years 1.6 mill instead.

Jack Graham and Liam Baker purchase a set of Hungry Jacks franchises together for 3 million dollars. A secret secondary contract exists which states that Jack Graham must sell his 50% share to Liam Baker for 1 dollar in 2030. End salaries are

Jack Graham - 5 years 3.5 mill
Liam Baker - 4 years 3.1 mill

Geelong would be proud of me

Great idea. And the AFL will never know about any of it............

What’s with these stupid ‘back scratching’ scenarios?

That ain’t how it works.

Those stupid back scratching scenarios could benefit both clubs. Bonus points for forcing the AFL's hand to address free agency compensation.

You're a ****ing genius, call Pyke, make it happen

Yes, would certainly be the last season you see it if our clubs did this and pulled it off!!

Would be the last season the AFL could possibly defeand their dodgy curupt system.

It wont happen because even the AFL arent that stupid (dodgy yes, stupid no). And the secret herbs and spices formula always means they get what they want, not what clubs what even with actual precendence.

You just know if Eagles did this theyd give Richmond a 3rd rounder as compensation out of spite for the situation too.

 

[THE_GUN]

I like it but with one slight change, we redraft baker in the psd and send some flowers and a box of chocolates to mini and Clarke.

Or to make it up we could always trade them Kamdyn McIntosh cheaply for pick #23

But Liam only likes KFC
could you work that into this deal

 

[ep2018]

Get the feeling the reason this is taking so long is we're working with Richmond to alter his deal to help tigers get better compo for him and get a lesser price on Baker. Definitely not as extreme as the pick 2 compo suggestion but similar all the same.

If not pick #2
Band 2 & Band 3 is hardly any difference to Richmond

100% on board with making the AFL look silly here.

Tigers can pay more of Baker's salary to help the Eagles pay Graham more.

How? He doesn’t have a contract.

It will be band 4 to band 3 which is a huge difference

If you think Graham on 4 years 2.2 mill is band 3, you are way off base

okay, so no salary considerations in a trade then?

From what I've heard over the weekend it will be Band 3 so we will get Pick 25

How good would the manipulation be if we overpaid on graham's salary, with Richmond taking up some of Baker's salary to offset.

Free agency compensation is a sham and should be made to look as much

Richmond can not take any salary for Baker as he is uncontracted
