AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
for those that may not know David Walls is the son of richmond ex coach and Carlton Hall of Famer, Robert Walls, our worst coach in my memory the northey/walls swap i still have nightmares about.
as a Channel 7 commentator Walls also gave Fremantle players all the votes when the Tigers flogged them by 16 goals.
Playing rosters vs talent pool I probably a bit different though.the system around Free Agency is one of the dumbest ive seen in any sport.
Why not just do it like the US. You lose a player through Free Agency, you get nothing but the cap space? The NBA trading system works very well IMO - not this winning lotto on compo picks - if you lose a player in free agency for nothing, then that is poor list management

We can't just copy and paste because a system works somewhere else, we need to make something that suits our circumstances.
Something needs to change though.
We can't pay any of Baker's wages because he is not contracted.Wce to pay JGTI 950k
Agree too pay 50% of Bakes wage to throw the afl hounds off both clubs.
Simple.
But he should be getting somewhere near Isaac Cumming deal. That was band 2, which would be pick 21.Ah thanks, Graham won’t get near that (legitimately)
Yes it has problems, but the US system has its own problems. Can space means nothing when no one wants to come to our team.the system around Free Agency is one of the dumbest ive seen in any sport.

Fyfe also got the 3 Brownlow votes that day, if we are talking about the same game.for those that may not know David Walls is the son of richmond ex coach and Carlton Hall of Famer, Robert Walls, our worst coach in my memory the northey/walls swap i still have nightmares about.

sounds bout right...... fyfe, sandilands, lochie neale from sketchy memoryFyfe also got the 3 Brownlow votes that day, if we are talking about the same game.
Can not believe GWS has that draft hand after losing 3 average role players...No it would be before norths two compo pick's from last year which are now held by Swans and GC
So it would be pick 21 straight after lions pick 20. Swans pick 21 would go to 22 and GC pick 22 would go to 23 and our first pick of the second round would be 24

I remember getting the whole Eagles midfield to play alongside a freshly drafted Deledio once for a packet of chips
Tim Taranto. Jacob Hopper come to mind.By comparison to other leading player trades in recent years , there aren’t too many better , I think we’d take 9/16
Dees have offered their future 1st for GCs pick 13. That'll probably end up a top 5 pick.
Chol 4 years @ 450k. Got us Band 4.If Graham goes to Westcoast.
Band 1 = pick 2. 1st rnd pick.
Band 2 = pick 21. End of 1st rnd.
Band 3 = pick 25. 2nd rnd pick.
Band 4 = pick 39. End of 2nd rnd.
Band 5 = pick 40. 3 rnd pick.
Bands 1, 3 & 5 are after your pick in that round based on your finishing position at the end of the season.
With previous Richmond free agents leaving the AFL usually down grade our compensation. So I suspect we will be lucky to get band3.

please read the previous 40 pagesWould we entertain the idea of trading lynch to Brisbane for a future first there is every chance they could have a premiership hangover I don’t think they have B2B in them
Hi **** the afl for the battle compo bye
On a serious note the compo system needs to go - clubs will simply trade players the year before and get a fairer value for them than the AFL handing out unpredictable political rubbish.
The carry on about compensation picks is full of hypocrisy.
We've got posters complaining about 'spuds' from other sides netting their teams band 1/2 compensation, but then also wanting our own 'spud' in Graham to net us band 2 or 3 compensation if he departs.
The reasoning for the compensation picks is quite simple, the players are subject to bidding wars, which elevates their contract value and eventually their current club is going to reach a point where letting them depart is worth more than having them stay, both due to them being uncomfortable in paying the money required and the pick they get in return.
As mentioned we're in the same position with Graham. We want him to stay, but aren't going to overpay for that to happen, so have been upping our offer to either match or better what WCE are offering. Eventually we'll reach a point where it's better for us to allow him to depart and take the compensation.
IMO the reason we haven't seen a deal for Graham being tabled yet is because the 2 clubs decided to hold off to see what sort of compensation others got so they could then do a deal that nets us a band 2 or 3 pick but doesn't force the Eagles to overpay for him or we can then make an offer that allows us to re-sign him without overpaying ourselves.
FWIW I expect that we'll see his decision being made across the weekend and Graham likely departs for the Eagles and gets us a band 2/3 pick and we'll then do a pretty simple deal for Baker, which I wouldn't be shocked to see it being their 2024 & 2025 R2 picks.

It's only fair if we get a band 2, he is more accomplished player than Perryman & Cumming.The carry on about compensation picks is full of hypocrisy.
