Must be still concussed thenAnd i will report spoke with Tigs today. And he is still adamant Baker is staying.
Captainblood71Nah no hints. Actually trying cross reference some stuff now.
If I had to pick one to keep it would be Baker. Probably only nets us a late first and would provide a lot of leadership staying on as skipper through the rebuild.Baker gone!
He'll get a round 2 compo.I was trying to work out how we could maximise a comp pick for him LOL
660 AFL players based on last year's figures. (AFL introduced 10% pay rises)
So, i guess that's about pick 40 for Graham if the rumours are true? can't see West Coast giving him more than 550K a year.
- 1st Round pick means top 5% (roughly 30 players) need to earn over $900K a season.
- End of 1st round pick next 10% (15%, roughly 100 players in total) need to earn over 700k a season.
- 2nd round compo pick next 15% (30%, roughly 200 players in total) need to earn over approx 550K a season
- No pick compo bottom 30% (roughly 200 players in total) so any player earning under 300K a season
- All other players earning between $300,001 to $550,000 would receive 3rd round pick after their pick
Yeah, I looked it up contract length isn't a factor for compo; however age of a player is. Considering Graham is 26 then that is close to perfect age wise. Let's hope its more than 550k hey![]()
I believe they are about to change the formula so that length is factored into the compo. Should be announced any day now.Yeah, not sure but read it in an AFL article, ill see if i can find the actual link.

or maybe Finn Callaghan im pretty sure we wanted to trade up in the 2021 trade to first get JHF, and then Callaghan
I think Bolton 90 % how often does a player not get were they want when they ask the question.What's the chance each of the players speculated to leave, are actually traded?
My guess is -
Baker 90% (Wants to go, can't stop him, WA clubs desperate for him)
Dusty 10% (1 game extension or retires)
Rioli 40% ( See Bolton below)
Graham 60% (Coach wants him out but hasn't enough value to warrant just giving him away)
Bolton 30% (Has a long contract and we will only let him go for a price other teams would not be willing to pay)
What do you think?
who is available
The next flag is atleast 6-7years of development in A-Grade talent
2025 is year 1

Huge for us
too much business to sort out in this draft to worry about something that may not come into the wheelhouseRight so if we want our NGA kid Tanner Armstrong, who is projected to go at pick 13 next year (yes I know there's a long way to go) we won't be able to match an opposing club's bid before our pick? Just wondering if this is how it'll work.
Agree though this year it is huge for us.
My understanding is we told Graham a while ago to explore his options. So he's not actually walking out on us. I can't say on Baker to be honest.Maybe that’s why Graham is likely to be picked up by WC or is this an indication that Freo is a done deal for Baker?
From a selfish point of view I’ve got a young fella that’s going to be old enough to start following the game properly in the next couple of years and if all these trades happen I need to quickly start thinking of strategies to keep him a Tiger because we’re going to suck hard
Armstrong is 2026, not next year.Right so if we want our NGA kid Tanner Armstrong, who is projected to go at pick 13 next year (yes I know there's a long way to go) we won't be able to match an opposing club's bid before our pick? Just wondering if this is how it'll work.
