Official 2012 Trade Period Discussion (#2)

Doesn't a trade need to happen for that to happen?

You can sign with a club, just need to make the trade a CP

Exactly my point, the signing isn't "official" unless a deal is completed.

Well the Tippett deal certainly isn't "holding everything else up for the week", in fact pretty much every rumoured trade has already happened before the end of the 2nd week.

Well the signing of the contract is confirmed and Cats will announce details of the trade within an hour, after reaching agreement today.
whatever

Well aren't you a positive, fun sole.
Whatever.............

That is your opinion. Two year deal, 28 year old, not v large coin (I think < $350k was reported).
That'll be not dissimilar to what Byrnes conned out of the Dees

28 years old is young under free agency. You do realise that if you are under 26 you can't even be a free agent, right?

Rivers and Moloney are both significantly better than Byrnes, and although Moloney had a down year he is still a decent player. I'd say 2nd round and 3rd round would be what they get.

I'm not sure it's a big deal.
No offence intended.

At the most.
But contract length and remuneration are very important when assessing value. So the Byrnes contract will be roughly = Rivers.

 

[FRUMPY]

Hmac did a good job to get a 3 year contract. For an injury riddled player, bit of a risk by the cats.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Hmac for pick 36.
North should have a fair bit of cap space now
To use on, umm, Ben Jacobs

Rivers is probably the best free agent out of this period aside from Goddard, probably him or Pearce. Surely his 5th position and 2nd position in the BnF awards would have some bearing compared to Byrnes 2 games this year. Sure, they may be on similar coin, but the AFL would have to look into it a little more than just money.

Has Lachy Hansen re-signed yet?

 

[TheKanga]

Apparently we have interest in Hines from Gold Coast as well.

You'd think so, yes. But as we saw with Scully, the contract sum is very important when determining compo, and these compo picks won't be anywhere near as generous.
Just saying.

Geelong have traded pick 36 for Hamish McIntosh.

Trust me, as a St Kilda fan I know these compo picks are no where near as generous, but these are probably Melbourne's best 2 players from 2011, a 2nd and 3rd round is not exactly generous.

Sure, I get that.
Hope they get proper value.

The quality of the player has nothing to do with the compensation according to the afl website.

IMO Rivers and Byrnes will most likely cancel each other out, while Moloney will gain Melbourne a second round pick.
