Imagine if this was Rachele with our club, he would be getting sacked in the morning
The issue with Rachele is he doesn't back it up. He talks the talk, can't walk the walk.
Kicking goals and helping your club win finals buys a lot of leeway.

Going to be hard for the Cats to get an early 1st rounder, so surely they will need to give up a future 1st too?
They set the trade value when dealing with West Coast for Kelly
Rachele kicked 30 goals to Ginnivan 25. Hawks a much easier team to be a forward in this season. Helps when your team is playing well.

Think you might be missing something. Players could probably get more at other clubs however the continued level of success is what attracts them.
Think if you could earn say $750k a season rather than $1m a season but play finals and be a top 4 side what would you go with. I’d take the team success every time.

Was that person ever seen again?
Yes but then when they retire apparently their huge salary off the books means they can afford new million dollar a year players.

He may be out of contract but he isn’t a free agent. If the clubs can’t come to agreement he has to nominate for the pre-season draft with his salary request and then see what happens. You have two Melbourne clubs in positions 1 & 2 so good luck with that Bailey.
Personally I think its great. The longer he stays at Port Power the better.
It does expose how utterly pathetic and corrupt the AFL media is though. Two days of criticism, then suddenly they report that he's 'in demand' and a big chance at club X. It happens over and over again. They did it earlier this year and have started it again this week. Suddenly he's a big chance at West Coast.
Not one media person is able to call it out for what it is.

We should be yelling from the rooftops we have the cap space and the want for his skillset and we will draft him if he nominates..richmond and north probably the same. That will focus minds on what the dogs and Smith think they will do

He has every Melbourne club ahead of Geelong and I think Carlton or Collingwood would look tempting to the Smith camp
A deal will get done for Smith but if he did go to the draft he would end up at Geelong or at least a club he has nominated No way another club drafts him without his consent.
It's refreshing to have a player on the move who is actually out of contract.

Certainly, a lot of $ value in those 10. Good to have a nonexistent salary cap.

Love to know what he thought Gold Coast had little leverage when Rankine wanted to come home

To nominate for the draft he has to name his price and go to the club which selects him. If in the preseason draft, you would pick him, pay his wage for one year, then trade him to Geelong or whoever else wants him. Its a free hit.
The Gold Coast board doesn't even have a thread for discussing their B&F.
But who is going to pull the trigger? Remember that they have to use a draft pick on him, in what is reputed to be a strong draft. Then there's no guarantee of getting a better pick off Geelong next year.
It could end up being a repeat of the Luke Ball situation. St Kilda didn't like the pick that Collingwood were offering and refused to trade. Ball delisted himself and nominated for the ND. Collingwood then picked him in the ND, using the exact same pick that they were offering St Kilda. Collingwood got the player they wanted, at the price they were offering - St Kilda got nothing.
I get the logic and there would be rumours but I don't think any club would actually do it. Anyway I think they will work out a trade somehow. Player Manager tend to make things happen.

The Tim Kelly trade was unfair if you think about it as a crows fan.
What did the eagles hand over to get Tim Kelly? Pick 14, pick 22 and a Future 1st rounder? Seems like a heavy price at the time.
Patrick Dangerfield spent 8 seasons. Left as a free agent but crows forced the cats to do a trade. Cats handed up a mid 1st, mid 2nd and Dean gore.
This was 2015 trade week.
Had it been a year later with future picks involved, crows easily would of got a mid 1st and a future 1st at a bare minimum

Fortunately the cops got him before the bikes did. He got arrested by the cops and served time in jail.

Have St Kilda and Collingwood done any trades since?
No idea. Probably - it was 10+ years ago.

Adelaide haven't done any trades with West Coast or Essendon in the last 10 years. I wouldn't read too much into it.In 2021 they traded for draft picks.
