we paid for Daniher 800k over 3 seasons not sure how it’s a leg up
Where’s the leg up? They’re reportedly paying Daniher $200k more a year than Crouch.

I was surprised maybe a little bemused at the band 1 outcome. But at the end of the day we get our guy. Keep our picks. You guys get half decent compo. So a win win in reality. Not sure why others are so upset.
Firstly I accept is was a mistake about Lions giving up a 1st rounder...

So now there's a hoo-ha over Joe's latest contract extension.
Whispers swirl over Daniher’s ‘manipulable’ mega-deal
‘Bad smell’: Whispers swirl over Lions star’s mega deal
I didn't follow this too closely when it happened, but apparently Lions were originally going to offer Joe a $3m 5yr deal (average $600k).
Essendon said if the compo wasn't good enough that they'd match, so the deal ends up being $2.5m over 3yrs and triggers an acceptable compo for Essendon.
After 1yr at the club, he then signs a 2 year extension?
While they haven't technically done anything wrong and the AFL have signed off on the new deal, it's pretty obvious that they worked the system and took advantage of a loophole to make sure both Essendon and Brisbane were happy with the initial deal.
I'm sure this will all blow over and the AFL won't comment publicly about it.
I can see both points of view, but that's partially Essendon's fault for not dealing him the year prior when they could have got a bigger return without the PSD even factoring into it.
Yes. Win win for both clubs. Not really a loophole though. All clubs know what the compo will be once they see a contract and the contracts are put in front of them to decide whether they match or not. That article mentions algorithms, but i don't think its that complicated. Think the only ones that got their calculations mixed up were Adelaide when they thought St Kildas deal for Brad Crouch would net them a better compo pickSo now there's a hoo-ha over Joe's latest contract extension.

Well it mentions that their initial deal was for $3m over 5 years and that this wouldn't have got Essendon the compo they were after, so it was re-worked into more money (average) across 3 years to hit the trigger.
Or at least apply it evenly across the competition.
Yeah we agree that they used the system to advantage and to get an easy win win situation. I guess i can call it a loophole too, although id add its a very obvious one available to every single club. So not sure if any clubs are actually questioning it or the bloke that wrote the article just needed to add that in so he had an article to write.
Brad Crouch was a longer deal on less money per year though. Or did the saints offer to change it to 3 x 800 to help the crows?
Yes if the crows took a players salary (Dunstan).
But the Crows wouldn't take Dunstan? That seems like a missed opportunity. Pick 2 and Dunstan for Brad Crouch who was leaving anyway?
No. The crows were proposing that deal.
