Not against that we have the cap spaceNorth should offer Battle a million a year, and then trade 2 for 7 and 8.
Only one problemNot against that we have the cap space
Would blow hawks offer off the table
Hawks already getting barrass
And saints win out of it
What if Saints match because you guys don't provide band 1 remuneration?Only one problem
He wants to be a Hawk
Also, who actually wants to play for North?Only one problem
He wants to be a Hawk
Also, who actually wants to play for North?
That's several rungs below St Kilda
For the 1000’th time, as terrible it is by St Kilda (worthy of sacking the list manager to be honest) Battle is a UFAWhat if Saints match because you guys don't provide band 1 remuneration?
Wouldn’t matterWhat if Saints match because you guys don't provide band 1 remuneration?
Free agent. Not restrictedWhat if Saints match because you guys don't provide band 1 remuneration?
I phrased it poorly.Wouldn’t matter
Is UFA
Keep up
But the flip side to that I want players without non trade clauses starting from when Tasmania enter the league be able to be traded by teams without consent.
If players want free agency clubs need to have another mechanism to help there list.
North should offer Battle a million a year, and then trade 2 for 7 and 8.
Has he decided yet ?
Choice has been madeI phrased it poorly.
It won't matter in the sense that Saints won't get a chance to match like an RFA.
But I mean if Saints offer as much as the Hawks, Battle will have to make a choice.
I used to think that.I agree with you there. Problem is players aren't paid enough and the AFL won't stump up more. Thus the last EBA.
Can't force trade a kid on 90k across the country. They aren't on half a mil multi year rookie contracts minimum like in the USA leagues.
I used to think that.
But every club has coteries for support and families that take new players in until they get settled.
There is far to much power given to the players at the moment
FA is a wonderful mechanism but the clubs need a mechanism aswell

Major clue he wants outYes.
We just have to wait to see what that decision is.
Spoiler. Banner Request is a major clue.
In relation to the compo.Disagree too much power to the players, or "coterie support" is the answer.
We are far away from non consent trades because 1. Player wages are too low 2. League structure is far too small. Compare it to leagues overseas that can be traded against their will.
Hell it was only the recent EBA that clubs now have mandatory levels of medical back room staff...
To keep it relevant to Battle, in the current state of the league, it's only fair to compensate teams who lose quality players. Whether that is a pick 2 or pick 17 for an A grade player is determined entirely on how shit the team is at that state of time. It's relatively as fair as things can be right now.
Barrass was an inconsiderate bastard by announcing us earlyat a guess, I'd say nothing will be announced until Hawks are out of the finals race.
Oh look, how about that, the saints matchedWhat if Saints match because you guys don't provide band 1 remuneration?
