News Joe Richards nominates Port Adelaide

Could be a touch of the Matty Whites about him.

We shall see.

Now that would be nice

Now that St Kilda have raised concerns with Soldo's knee, he's only worth a half eaten bag of chips. Wow not going so well for us this year with Perryman & Cumming going to other clubs, so much for the destination club Port and the Hinkley effect.

Not really fussed with Richards, picked up in the 2022 draft at 48 as a mature age player. Nothing great in these stats, if had runs on the board and a clean bill of health, then yeah.

This works if he nominates terms and no other club is prepared to meet those terms. Not sure that’s the case here.

That's why you game the contract to help ensure the result.

Say we're offering him $500k a year for 3 years. Richards ought not to care too much how he gets that $1.5M - it's not like there's a secret tax-efficient way to structure the deal. So we offer it as $800k in one year, and $350k in the other two. Probably front-load the contract. Richards stipulates that contract when he nominates for the draft. Then it doesn't matter if another team can match $1.5M over 3 years - if they can't cover the $800k he's due in one year then they can't draft him.

The rule used to be that if you nominated them for the draft, you must offer a them a main list position. Which means we'd need to clear a spot for him, but our interest in him and the benefit he offers surely comes from the ability to add an extra player to our max list size by using that CatB category.

The rule also used to be that you can nominate them for the Rookie Draft after the main draft and we automatically get that player and as he's NGA he's automatically CatB, same as F/S

Isn't the rule also that if you don't nominate them then you can't match a bid if one comes?

Keep in mind that if someone does cut our lunch at the PSD its very much a situation of...
