Unrestricted Free Agent Jack Graham

[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

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.

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.

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