Free Agency Brad Crouch [joins St Kilda as a RFA for pick 23]

[Stevi_Tigers]

Afl making shit up

Ellis 3 mil over 5 pick 39
Lycett 3 mil over 5 pick 20
Crouch 2.4mil over 4 pick 23

Seems legit

 

[Verdun]

That's what it will be

Based on?

 

[Kyuss]

Well if the deal is 600k surely the compo is pick 39 odd like Ellis

Or the mighty afl just making sh*t up as usual

That they do. But the compo will always be better for lower teams as its tied to their finishing position.

 

[The Underdogs]

Should have offered more than what you did though

Why? Don’t get me wrong, I’d like for us to have Brad Crouch

, but he’s got a shit reputation and he’s not a superstar. If crows match good on them, he can walk. Worse case we don’t get him and save our $ for Josh Kelly etc next year.

it’s based on your finishing position. Wahh wahh 3 premierships in 4 years the AFL has it in for you....

Seems legit

That they do. But the compo will always be better for lower teams as its tied to their finishing position.

How can two guys earning the same cash over the same deal be different bands makes zero sense especially when the worse compo is also younger

 

[FrankDrebin]

Well if the deal is 600k surely the compo is pick 39 odd like Ellis

Or the mighty afl just making sh*t up as usual

Both got the same band didnt they?

Ellis would have been Pick 22 if the Tigers had finished last - exact same compo as Crows (it's tied to finishing position)

 

[THE_GUN]

He will stay on his current wage

Can't really complain

It would be great for saints to overpay but they probably did the right thing long term for them

Jesus you have made some massive statements in this thread , Now lets see if all the names you mentioned like Brads Manager and the Crows list manager back up your claims. I really wouldnt be surprised if Crows dont match the bid and let him walk and be done with him.

It all comes down to 1 thing , What the $$$ value of the player is and what he deserves to be paid and the ffact that Brad wants $$$ does not mean he will get them. But If Adelaide had the offer of $650k on the table no club would have considered him and St Kilda is the only club that came near that with Geelong/Richmond offers well below this.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Both got the same band didnt they?

Ellis was band 3 Lycett band 2

 

[arsene wenger1]

I was under the impression reading this thread on and off last few days pick 2 was a given? What happened?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Ellis would have been Pick 22 if the Tigers had finished last - exact same compo as Crows (it's tied to finishing position)

Lycett got end of first round Ellis got band 3 for the exact same deal both after winning flags

Band one or two would of been the same pick for Richmond

 

[Dees 87]

thanks saints for the lowball, I guess we retain him for cheap? Very strange.

I thought (absolutely could be wrong) that the club were wary of a longer term contract ?

 

[philthy05]

Lycett got band 2 (end of first round) Steve you’ve gotten really confused by this compo band thing.

 

[triggering bro]

Strong rumours on our board that we are not budging on the contract. It will be around 600 x 4 with a trigger giving the Crows band 2. However, as I’ve mentioned a number of times, a follow up trade of the Crows compo pick plus a late pick for Saints FRP 15 could occur on the back end. I anticipate the Crows posters to mock the idea like they previously have but I think I will have the last laugh. Sorry Crows.

The wheels are in motion.

 

[Mr Pickles]

Where is every clown that posted 750-800k per year?

Creating new accounts so maybe they can throw a dart next time and claim to be ITK

 

[Kyuss]

If Adelaide get Band 3 its pick 23. Band 2 or 3 to them is basically the same as Band 1 to the premiers.

 

[Wojcinski]

Its rather irrelevant we will receive pick 2 everyone knows it

Afl making sh*t up

Ellis 3 mil over 5 pick 39
Lycett 3 mil over 5 pick 20
Crouch 2.4mil over 4 pick 23

Seems legit

You don't get how it works, do you?

 

[Longmembrey]

Well if the deal is 600k surely the compo is pick 39 odd like Ellis

Or the mighty afl just making sh*t up as usual

Well it effectively equates to Ellis as you finished 18 places higher on the ladder

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Such a shit system. If I was Adelaide, would be filthy but at the same time, if Hawthorns pick got pushedback I'd be steaming. Other teams picks which have nothing to do with the player move shouldn't be pushed back as a result of something completely periphery

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

You don't get how it works, do you?

I’m talking about why is Lycett a band higher than two comparable deals

 

[Shadow89]

Lycett got end of first round Ellis got band 3 for the exact same deal both after winning flags

Band one or two would of been the same pick for Richmond

We're talking about Ellis and Crouch - that was what your original gripe was about - which is relevant to this thread. Lycett is another matter to be discussed in a different forum

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Well it effectively equates to Ellis as you finished 18 places higher on the ladder

Yeah I ****ed up the crouch part that’s on me. Just don’t get how Lycett is a whole band higher than both with comparable deals
