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.
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.
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...
(which is also why nobody will do it)

Hence why we should walk him to the PSD.Keep in mind that if someone does cut our lunch at the PSD its very much a situation of...

That's about what he's worth.
I don't think there's anything stopping him from nominating for the National Draft instead of or in addition to the Pre-Season Draft. It would just be a matter of us and his manager working out the best way to walk him into our list.

Welcome to Port Adelaide Joe Richards
Well at least he's not Rory Atkins
Welcome Joe.
We're in need of a serious goal kicking small forward who can apply pressure and rack up good possessions.
Good luck.

I come in peace, I'm not here to cause trouble. (hate the crows if that helps?

Richards has to be one of the hungriest youngsters we played this year and quite frankly I think towards the end of our season he was hard done by with consistent opportunity. I'm sad to see him go but I hope you guys can give him a good home as he takes his game further. He's quick, has a higher footy IQ given the amount of games he's played and he's confident in his ability.

He isn't a youngster

If he's so good, how come he's in his prime and couldn't even crack your best 22 when you missed finals?

I appreciate Port fans are hurting and the trade wasn't what you would have hoped.
I honestly reckon you guys have grabbed a potenitally great player in Joe Richards. At times this year due to injury, we had to play a variety of players with little to no experience. Lachie Sullivan, Ed Allan, Harvey Harrison, Reef McInnes etc..
Of that crop, Joe Richards was a massive standout. His composure when he had the ball and ability to read the play, for a bloke who had no senior footy experience really stood out. Of the players with limited experience on our list, he was the one I personally didn't want to let go.
Clearly Port saw something in him when they offered him a 3 year deal months back, and the Pies did too as we matched the deal but he still nominated Port. He won best young player at the Pies BnF this year.
A snapshot of his first game here, I recommend watching it if you get time. Everytime he touched the ball was class:

Brownlow Medallist
No matter how it’s spun he’s an untried player which will have a limited ceiling due to his age. Most players hit their ceiling at 26.
He is worth nothing really
