Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XVII

[Vindicater]

who wins tonight? i'm kind of hoping port win. i think it'll ultimately make everything more amusing. the childish fans melting down over them winning will be amazing to read through

Hawks will smash them I reckon.

Thank the lord!

Dustin Martin has reached out to GC and is open to "exploring" joining the Suns.

honestly i'm so surprised right now. absolutely shocked

 

[joey_jo_jo]

so do Richmond get anything out of this or can he walk to Suns as a DFA?

DFA, no?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Turns 34 next year ..what a silly move

 

[joey_jo_jo]

DFA, no?

Thats what I assumed, seems a pretty shit deal for the tigers.

Why?

He's won them 3 Premierships, a Brownlow, and a Norm Smith.

He's clearly 'done' as a Richmond player.

What more do they need?

 

[Pweter]

AFL.com.au saying unrestricted FA

I doubt he'll be getting paid mega bucks so given he's an unrestricted FA it'll be compo based, and given the AFL formula is water tight and completely not made up to suit any scenario, pretty sure Richmond will be getting betting a 1st round pick, if not 2 or 3 of them.

 

[crackers65]

You know Port v Hawks isn't the GF right?

And that Sam Mitchell is the Hawks coach?

It’s hawthorn we are talking about here. How can any sane person go for hawthorn. To use Koch as a reason shows people have short memories. Kennett, the most aggravating hawk of them all!

 

[dank420_]

Dimma recycling the players he had had enough of... I think he's lost it guys.

If he loves his old club so much he couldve been honest about his desire to move north and let them work out a trade with the suns instead of this fake retirement so Suns can pick him up for nothing.

He's getting traded for a token pick, Richmond will have a raft of high picks. It's pretty meaningless IMO.

UFA means no compo I'm pretty sure, only a DFA attracts compo?

edit: confusing DFA and RFA

No, all free agent movements are assessed as to whether they attract compensation based on the value of the new contract. Unrestricted free agents are outside the highest paid players at the old club or they have served 10 years at one club.

Richmond would get compensation from the AFL if his new contract with GC is worth enough, although that's unlikely Richmond could get anything better than a 4th round pick.

I hope Hawthorn make it to the GF only to lose by a narrow margin to a team like GWS.

 

[ghostdog]

Koch winning a flag is too much for me to bear. Go Hawks (eww). Hoping GWS knock off Lions

Lions don't deserve. Dare I say they have a touch of Essington the way they switch off. Joe and Connor brought the pox with them.

i come in peace essedon fans.

matt taberner has retired. you can now rest easy at night.

thank you. it was legit one of the first thing i thought of when he retired. will forever be one of my favourite dockers tbh. gained the nickname wayne (carey) after his first preseason as mcpharlin and pavlich found it weird he would occasionally turn into carey.

then would also be one of the most stupid players on the footy field. plus a real weird unit offield. giving sean darcy the nickname onions cause he thought it was funny.

 

[brutus76]

AFL brass with tweak their magic formula so Richmond get a nice pick for a washed up 33yo

 

[mike ross]

Go Hawks. Smash the pretenders.

 

[Vindicater]

Go Hawks. Smash the pretenders.

I have a soft spot for Port so I hope they win but I reckon Hawks by 40+
