Jack Graham, listen to me when I say this to you. You.are.trash

You sure you aren't a Richmond supporter?

 

[THE_GUN]

3rd rounder.

Thats even too much

 

[Obeanie1]

You sure you aren't a Richmond supporter?

We ask ourselves that question about him alot.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Hearing he is not coming anymore ! Thank **** for that .
Probably means Baker is going to freo now too .

Disappointing. The compo would have been a beautiful rort.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Disappointing. The compo would have been a beautiful rort.

Have a feeling he was using us to get a better deal. Had a few players do that to us this year like English and garcia from the dogs

 

[Obeanie1]

Disappointing. The compo would have been a beautiful rort.

Likely means Bolton is gone, Rioli and Baker as well and the club recognised it needs to retain him to help the kids and rebuild. Not problems increasing his salary.

 

[stallon]

Disappointing. The compo would have been a beautiful rort.

Band 4 compo probably isnt worth losing him tbh

 

[tigs2010]

Band 4 compo probably isnt worth losing him tbh

Yep. 3 we should have just pulled our contract. 4 we definitely should be holding. We already have 1800 points or so to try get Brissys 1100 point pick. Another pick 40 is pointless.

 

[THE_GUN]

Still a while to go for the eagles to up their offer and convince JGTI to change his mind

 

[Jen2310]

Apparantely he is waiting to get clarity on the new WC coach before announcing his departure.

will hold off on a decision on his future until West Coast has more clarity on its next coach.
Graham has received a four-year offer to join the Eagles as a free agent, meaning West Coast do not have to give up anything in a trade.

But the Eagles’ coach search, which has dragged on after a series of knock backs from a large group of top candidates, has complicated matters.

It would be hard for Graham to accept the Eagles’ offer without knowing who the club’s next coach will be for 2025.

Graham has to make a call by the first week of October when the free agency window opens but he will want to know who is coaching West Coast before making a decision.

The Eagles have widened their net after top assistants Ashley Hansen

But a further delay into next month could cost the Eagles’ recruiting mission.

all requested trades out of Punt Rd.

Richmond is likely to receive a second-round compensation pick for Graham, pending his salary and contract at West Coast, if he accepted the Eagles’ offer.

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/liam-baker-requests-trade-from-richmond-to-western-australian-club/news-story/b17bab4090c3855a1ff7ab2583560c1d

Just trying to get an extra 100k

Eagles are desperate and will pay it as well
10 players to delist and no coach in sight and no picks to get talent

They need every freebie they can get

 

[Daka]

Rightly or wrongly, I could see us getting pick 22 for Graham leaving in compensation we are on the bottom of the ladder & that's usually taken into consideration with the AFL herbs & spices.

 

[banzai]

Yep. 3 we should have just pulled our contract. 4 we definitely should be holding. We already have 1800 points or so to try get Brissys 1100 point pick. Another pick 40 is pointless.

Why bother holding even if we get no compo? You cant play him alongside Hopper and Taranto. Even if he plays out of the midfield in more a Lambert role, we just need more speed in the team. Prestia is playing on and there is also Ross (who Id prefer over Graham). It's just way too many plodders already. Clear out room for the mids we draft to get first 22 spots.

 

[THE_GUN]

Just a thought
Richmond offer JGTI $800k x 3 years
Eagles then offer Graham $1 million x 4 years and Richmond dont match
then only offer Richmond a F3 for Baker which of course Richmond refuse and hang up the phone
AFL mediator gets involved and eagles say they are rebuilding and cant give a better pick (Carlton/Martin)
Things dont work out and Baker enters the PSD with $850k on his head and only wanting a WA team (not just eagles)
and he ends up at the eagles for free.

 

[4tune8]

I think that people need to get their heads around what the TPP's are doing. Currently $15.8m (average $440k) rising to $18.5m in 2027 (average $520k)
Given that all the news centres around a 4 year deal, then that deal will have those increases in payments built into the contract. I think that the current level of payment is $560k to trigger band 3 compensation and it's not inconceivable that Graham would attract a contract that just a bit over what the average player gets.

 

[THE_GUN]

Interesting picture from the RFC website i just received showing players with their fathers

Rioli , Bolton , Baker not in the pictures but Jack Graham

was there in the full kit

 

[THE_GUN]

Richmond have upped their offer to match the 4 years eagles have offered to Graham and want him to stay at the Tigers

 

[Coach_Required]

Ruined my day

 

[Dangerousfield]

Going to have too many draft picks so worked out they might need a handful of senior players as well. Looking to me like a three peat of Wooden Spoons to go with the three modern day flags

Possibly but maybe they just rate the guy highly back from the 2017 days where he totally destroyed the crows and their super star sloan.

Not to mention quality person and great leader
