Free Agency Zac Williams [joins Carlton as an RFA for a 1st round compensation pick]

[PMBangers]

This isn't a 'my club is better than yours' contest, keep discussion relevant to Zac Williams please

 

[fishncripps]

'Huge money' by the blues, but if he stayed and signed for 50k less a year with the Giants no one would bat an eyelid

 

[jezzajay]

Tom Morris has said 6 x $800 - $900

so its gospel than cos Tom Morris says so...derp

 

[Stratton24]

so its gospel than cos Tom Morris says so...derp

GWS have seen the contract and reported it to Tom

 

[Bunk Moreland]

So it's wrong?

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Geeeez... you would assume this would raise a few eyebrows among the Blues playing list. Has injury history and is coming off a just okay year.

Treloar is being booted for being on that money.

 

[jezzajay]

So it's wrong?

I don’t know...do you?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I don’t know...do you?

Happy to go with Morris, he’s pretty good.

 

[jezzajay]

Happy to go with Morris, he’s pretty good.

Nothing but a mouth piece.

 

[FairKouta]

Happy to go with Morris, he’s pretty good.

Lol except when he reports negatively on your mob.

 

[Vindicater]

Surely that is fake news.

 

[La Dispute]

800k is too high, yet Essendon are offering a 5-year, almost 1 million contract to a backup ruckman?

Interesting.

Great pickup by the Blues. Fits our needs to a tee.

 

[refresh]

Morris can't possibly be correct. Surely.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Lol except when he reports negatively on your mob.

What did he report negatively about my mob?

 

[Drewie11]

Wow

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

That’s a massive deal for a hbf jesus

We are going to play him primarily as a midfielder Jesus

 

[FairKouta]

What did he report negatively about my mob?

Figuratively speaking good friend.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Carlton accountant is going to have to get funky with the numbers next year when Cripps is off contract. if these Williams and Saad numbers are correct.

Cripps is already most likely a million dollar player give or take. How much more does he need?

FWIW him leaving won’t be based on money.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Keeps his feet in the wet.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

I'm actually paid up to $900k a year too

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Didn't Carlton lodge the paperwork before the Cats did for Smith?

What's taking the AFL so long as appears to be a straightforward band 1.

He's a restricted free agent. so the Giants have 3 days to decide whether or not to match the bid. Compensation will be announced when they don't.

Smith was unrestricted.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

If he performs as a mid then he's worth that IMO, he can play, time will tell

Hey what happened to your signature, it hasn't been a year yet.

 

[Milanista28]

Hey what happened to your signature, it hasn't been a year yet.

Deal was till end of finals?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Deal was till end of finals?

??? Thought it was a year.

Ok, so GWS know what the compo is then.

Not sure why the AFL don't announce the compo before GWS decide what to do, as would make it more transparent.
