2017 Trade and FA thread

Or this

Is that a willy just below the implant? Must be why they call it a cochlear implant lol.

I reckon it would take something like that to get him out of Brisbane...that would be a significant difference, around $450k extra over 3 years plus the guaranteed 4th year money.

Obviously we will see after the medical.

Could be a win/win though...we need a player like him and get him for free. Have the money willing to take the risk.

Brisbane get pick 18 to trade for Charlie Cameron and add him to your impressive group of youngsters. Sort of a symbol of a new era without rockliff around who was a former captain. Maybe get someone like miles for cheap to help with the inside role.

$450k sounds like a lot but it becomes half that after tax and I understand the manager cut is higher when a player goes to a new club (could be wrong but I've heard it in the past). If your talking about $225k net over 3 year not sure that's enough for a move when he's just finished a new house here and his family is settled.

 

[Brett C]

Is he ? Wouldn't mind if we had a dip then

We have very little forward pressure as it is. Menzel only knows one way and that's to play for himself

Speaking of housing, the cost of a decent house in Melbourne would normally be higher than Brisvegas. It's surely like trading in a car for a new one- it's the walk out the door price at the end of the day.

Had a mate's daughter looking at a 3 bedroom townhouse for $975,000. Tommy's mansion isnt a three bedroom townhouse......

 

[POBT]

Excuse me while I kiss this guy...

That's cool man. I voted yes.

#1Flog Barrett said on triple m melbourne earlier that Port are now favourite to land Rockliff. My only take on the change is that the expectation is becoming clearer he is leaving.

If that's the case, hopefully we match an offer and force them to trade their 2018 first rounder

 

[Lazza16]

Well spotted.

LOL!

I am often also guilty when I hear the word Richmond.......... I think I hear Brisbane but I haven't listened to this particular take.

Portt Melbourne?

 

[jackess]

Port won't want to lose their compensation from losing Trengove

Pretty sure he said he was off to Carlton yesterday....

Offers coming in for him are roughly 4 years at 400k a year roughly. So compensation would be minimal.

 

[Grizzly86]

Port won't care about Carlton's first round pick shuffling back one spot... Bid high!!!

3 x 500/600k with a conditional 4th and not having to relocate would start to look pretty attractive you would think.

Isn't the 4years at 400k for Trengrove not Rockliff?

 

[CarterS]

Saad available from GC? I'd be all over him. Blues apparently interested.

Yeah. The post I was replying to was ambiguous but on re-reading it I can see that's what was meant.

Doesn't he want to return to Victoria?

 

[CarterS]

Heard that, don't know a whole lot about it.

 

[LongLion]

I thought this was the whole idea of free agency. Whether the season has officially ended or not is a mere technicality. In fact, the sooner it is resolved the better for all concerned. My only worry is having to stomach him in a Blues jumper.

Yea, don't like the blue jumper bit. Almost any other team preferred

 

[Cockliff38]

We were always up against it but missing out on Kennedy sucks. Would've been a nice addition to the midfield

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Pretty hard to coax a Riverina boy north when the big Victorian clubs are circling. When we can do that we'll know we have made it.

Pretty sure the blues make a play for EVERYONE come trade week.

The only trade I think they have come out on top recently was with us, Sam docherty
