So there are 7+ players 25yo+ per club on better contracts than Graham's newly signed Free Agency deal.
But ther is NOT 1.2 players 25yo+ per club on better deals than Harry Perryman and Josh Battle.
And there are NOT 3.5 players 25yo+ per club on more than Isaac Cumming.
By official player ratings Cummings, Graham and Perryman are similarly performed players over their careers.
So either Graham is not as good as he once was or is generally expected to deteriorate more rapidly than the others, OR
Graham was not genuinely in our best 22 in recent years, OR
Richmond has not offered him a good enough contract to retain him, which in the case of the club believing he is a best 22 player indefinitely would be a pretty bad list management error, OR
The AFL has rorted Richmond with the FA compensation, and/or we have the astonishing situation where Battle and Ferrymen are in the top 1.2 paid players 25yo+ per club in the AFL, and Cumming is in the top 3 per club.
Worst part of this is that Damo + all the other media people who have spoken out on how the compo has been ridiculously high will say how fair this deal in comparison to the others and applaud it instead of focusing on us being ****ed over again.
Just spreading the word to the homebodies that don't leave this board muchachoYou seriously gonna repost this as your own, you little shit you
That's not a bad deal.I reckon Shai Bolton + pick 32 for Freo's 10,11 & 18 is fair, I would walk away if they don't do that honestly, we need to stop being soft at the trade table, I could care less what the media personalities like Barrett say!
No chance !That's not a bad deal.

It's not complex.Sure, it could be a complex conspiracy within the AFL specifically aimed at screwing over Richmond whenever possible.
I told you he's a shiteater!
Smith via psdHope the Doggies really spit the dummy with Cats and refuse to trade. Would be hilarious if it fell to our PSD pick. Can't remember the last time someone ended up having to be drafted at pick 1 in the PSD due to a dispute.
Probably did, because I have a good understanding of how the AFL works out compensation.Did you say the same when Ellis got us pick 40 when he signed a huge (at the time) 600k 5 year deal. Probably equates to 800k+ deal now.
Any reason you're not including Adam Tomlinson in this free agency history?Sure, if you're that naive then good for you.
This is the first time in the history of AFL Free Agency that a 4 year deal hasn't got band 1, 2 or 3.
But yeah, believe what you want to believe. This is why the AFL get away with everything.
Haha, it's spelt Poindexter with a capital 'P', Champ.Read what I wrote poindexter. I said what did the club say after the Motlop compensation a year later? Gale rightly bitched and moaned after the Ellis compo..... they then explained the parameters to justify our compo. Motlops contract was inferior in every category yet resulted in a superior pick. That's when the club should've gone berserk throwing their insipid justification in their face, demanding the ledger be squared up.
If you believe that Jack Graham moved to Western Australia for less money than you're dumber than I thought.
The argument of increased TPP doesn't wash either as we got band 4, not band 3 to adjust for that.

I'm so glad I'm just a fan and not a member after reading those comments. I'd feel like a moron if I was a memberBrandon Ellis had 5 years @ $600k so more money and longer term and was AA u22 team every year also AA squad in the previous year yet we got far less than motlop and our Cuckold leadership said and did nothing.
They haven’t wheeled out Laura ever since she equated winning a media award with winning the Brownlow… because you can still win thoseWaiting for Laura Kane to come out and say
“You’ve got enough picks this draft, stop whinging Tigers”
Freo chasing Wagner.If GCS or Freo offer tasty draft picks if we pay part of Rioli or Bolton's salary we'd be stupid not to. We have tons of cap space and will have for a few years to come.
Ralph is as dumb as dogshit. The Swans wouldn't trade Warner this year for 2 x top 5 picks, as they want a flag now, not draft picks.“So what if the Shai Bolton deal gets really tough?” Ralph asked on Fox Footy’s Trading Day on Monday night.
“We know that Richmond is very grumpy – they want Picks 10 and 11. What if they (the Dockers) potentially go: ‘OK, Plan B. We’ll have a crack at Chad Warner to Fremantle. Picks 10, 11 and 18.’
“Is there any chance they say ‘we’ll just throw everything at Chad Warner and go and win a flag next year’?”
yeah right, it's that easy.

That's fine then, we go & speak to WC & see if we can do a deal for pick 3 for Bolton. Why Freo get the outstanding services of Warner after his outstanding game in the GF who helped the Swans win the premiership. Oh! hold on that's right Warner was a spud in the GF & the swans got flogged. Go for it Freo, enjoy being an average team that won't win a premiership.“So what if the Shai Bolton deal gets really tough?” Ralph asked on Fox Footy’s Trading Day on Monday night.

I don't know much about the guy, but I can comfortably say that Taranto won't be leaving.Anyone get access to Herald Sun paywall? Probably just clickbaitView attachment 2135215
