Traded Josh Battle - Joins Hawthorn as UFA

[Jeremias]

Infractions and thread bans have been handed out.

Keep it civil and on topic, or keep it to yourself.

Thanks.

 

[bzparkes]

You can't tell me Brad Hill just liked the look of the place...

 

[HairyO]

How are Hawthorn affording 6 years at $900k+?

A few dodgy dealings down at Waverley/Dingley I suspect.

If we were doing dodgy deals he would be getting $700k a year plus a farm.

Pick 8 for a GOP defender is brilliant work by the AFL.

[blueboy25]

Lol, he was born in SA. He may have grown up in Melbourne but he's not from there.

His family's mostly all in Perth also + he was a Port supporter.

Next to zero chance he moves to Melbourne when most of his family's in Perth.

No chance he would go to St Kilda and I can't see him leaving Perth but to say most of his family are in Perth is not really correct.

His older brother lives in Perth and his grandparents live in Esperance.

His parents, uncle, most of his cousins and his other brother are all in Melbourne.

 

[Falchoon]

The AFL can get firmly ****ed in the ass with this bull shit.

There’s not a ****ing chance in hell Horks are paying battle enough for Band 1.

multiplied by age criteria.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Is it too late to invite Battle to the BNF?

Thank you Hawthorn

 

[TheFourPillars]

And you know what I have to say to those clubs
Buck up
Get over it
About time we had a win

Pick 8 is not a win mate. Its a number in the draft.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Pick 8 is nice, but the real prize is the salt delivery.

The real prize is when you select the next Billings

 

[T2B_]

Holy shit the AFL gave St Kilda an almighty blowey

 

[Taylor]

The AFL has released how it's worked out, they just haven't released the rankings by which the points value is compared to since it will give away the salaries of the players on the list.

Was always going to be Band 1 and i posted that about 3 weeks ago

Team structure the deal to get the compo as its a 6 year deal only the 5 years matter

just front end the deal for the first 5 years and its done
was always going to be band 1

His older brother lives in Perth and his grandparents live in Esperance.

They must travel a lot then.

The other week on the pod, Hamish said 'Where would he be going 'home' to? Everyone's here."

 

[Falchoon]

It's been well established our offer is less than 900k and Cal Twomey has just said that the Giants will get band 1 aswell.

Looks like the threshold for Band 1 is less than 900k and not more as first anticipated.

AFL making rules as they go along nothing new here

The compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on:

1. The new contract of the free agent;
2. The age of the free agent.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Lol, why would Brayshaw move to Melbourne and St Kilda, of all clubs?

Because Perth is an absolute back water shyte hole... and he wants to play finals.

 

[triggering bro]

Pick 8 is not a win mate. It’s a number in the draft.

No but avoiding paying a third defender Jeremy Cameron money is.

 

[bzparkes]

Because Perth is an absolute back water shyte hole...

So's Melbourne.

And he was born in SA and is a Port supporter.

 

[T2B_]

Dont hate the Saints, hate the system. Saints would be doing a merry jig and so they should.

 

[Mindfury]

stavro goated tbh

 

[Mindfury]

Is it too late to invite Battle to the BNF?

we'll text him now

 

[HairyO]

multiplied by age criteria.

Perryman is a year younger and apparently the offer was more. So does this mean GWS get pick 1 ?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

You’ve gotta be joking

 

[Falchoon]

Perryman is a year younger and apparently the offer was more. So does this mean GWS get pick 1 ?

It means Band 1 and Band 1 is awarded directly after your first place in the draft order.

 

[projectv]

When it's announced, Band 2 will be a giggle

Did you giggle?
