Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
I have no trust in the AFL to do the right thing for us. I thoroughly expect if JSoS goes they will give us a 2nd rounder, if we are lucky. Just bookmark this.The only reason why the AFL would consider $1m as the limit for band one compo is because of TDK. Any other year, and 800k would be considered band 1.
If we matched it, SOS would walk away grinning like the Cheshire cat.I'd match but only if TdK understands that we want to maximise his return.
StKilda will need to deal, they have no choice and there first this year and next will do just fine.
I doubt that. Too much at stake now. He can't and won'tIf we matched it, SOS would walk away grinning like the Cheshire cat.

Not enough unfortunately.I have heard that it is a very shallow draft, but surely there's some good players in the first round?
We wouldn't get a first for JsosI have no trust in the AFL to do the right thing for us. I thoroughly expect if JSoS goes they will give us a 2nd rounder, if we are lucky. Just bookmark this.
Basically what I am saying is that he won’t get traded as there is no way swans will give a star player in return.If a team wants Charlie, they offer an A grade player plus a late first rounder or multiple first round picks over this and next year. He is currently contracted for 4 more years and someone has to pay to buy out his contract.
no, he gets the choice still if he wants to leave. It just makes St. Kilda pay for him. It would piss SOS offNo because if we match, he'll say thanks very much we blow up our salary cap.
Move on, he is gone.
Well, I think that TDK' contract would fall into the top .01%. Second only to NWM.

you're only thinking about the 1.7 and not the options with matching. If De Koning really wants to leave, you match it and then trade with St. Kilda and make them pay properly.Not Our Problem.
They have offered life changing money to TDK, Carlton isn't going to match it. Who do you want to lose from our top tier players? Walsh... because giving TDK 1.7 mill/year means we can't afford to offer Walsh a massive contract next year in his free agency year. I'd prefer to keep Walsh thanks.
what about if St Kilda say Don't worry about it then? lolyou're only thinking about the 1.7 and not the options with matching. If De Koning really wants to leave, you match it and then trade with St. Kilda and make them pay properly.
they have others out of contract as well. De Koning will soon learn that there is a difference when rucking to Cripps, Walsh etc and what the Saints haveThe strategy is to spend up now on marquee players and then bring more in as the cap rises. More so if they are front-loading these two big ones.
Then we keep him. Simple. St. Kilda are banking on the cap risingwhat about if St Kilda say Don't worry about it then? lol
He's a flog, isn't he?Finlayson wouldn't be the worst depth pick up in the world considering he'd be cheap you'd think.
Similar in his inconsistencies to Gov, but much, much cheaper.
We keep him on 1.7+ and have to trade Charlie or Harry for nothing (due to no room in our cap)Then we keep him. Simple. St. Kilda are banking on the cap rising
Saints fan searching for some attention. Must have thought we'd be up in arms about not paying a ruckman 1.7 x 8What's the bad luck?
Hun going with TDK and Charlie going to inform soon of their desire to leave.
