Yeah I do understand it.

If a RFA who wants to leave, a matched offer from their original club creates an extra step in the process, requiring further negotiation for a trade or a move into the draft to finalize the change of clubs.

You don't think there will be clubs trying to get Butters in 2027?

Why shouldn't we be one of them?
Wasn’t Danger an RFA when he crossed to Cats? Crows and Cats brokered a better deal than compo pick I think .

I would have no issues with the club selling their 26 and 27 first round picks for a stake in the 2025 draft. The first round of 2027 is all Tasmanian, it's been compromised. Mids the obvious agenda.

Yep. I'm sure there are plenty of examples.

Of course clubs will be coming for Butters, it would be madness for us not to try or for this not already being part of our thinking for 27.

2025 draft isn't great if reports are true. Should be loading up on 26. Should also only be trading away 26 if used to land a gun like butters. Agree 2027 will be all about tassie
 
When a player is a FA/or OOC, these deals get done one way or another. Even if its less than what they would prefer. So even if they force a trade, they would have to accept what you have. Or he goes into the draft, where he goes anywhere and someone gets him for nothing.

If he wants to come home, he's given 8 years of service, I think port would be reasonable. You couldn't have asked for much more than what he has given that club. You can also trade 2 years in advance.

I know you know your stuff, but this is like talking to kids.

The point is, Butters won't just come cheaply, he will come for x2 first rounders, at least. He is a trade target, not a free agent target. Losing x2 first round picks like we have done so often lately may happen again, it may, but we aren't getting him for cheap.

As opposed to Oliver who is being actively shopped by his club and they are gonna pay some of his salary. We'd be getting him super cheap in terms of resources.

2027 we have some FS/NGA players. But they should come fairly cheap.
But Tassie dont have too many picks in that draft, and some of them have to be traded for players. The afl want other clubs to have picks in the first round.

No one thinks he would cheap. He shouldn't be.

And no need to be so condescending with your opening line.
 
Think we will have to dedicate most of our draft capital towards midfielders for the next 2-3 years.

HDM and Allan were drafted as mids and it doesn't look like either of them will be in our starting midfield.

HDM is essentially fin 2.0, so he will in all likelihood get the chop once his contract is up.
 
I don't obviously agree with the opinion on the 2025 draft, I'm seeing names slide into 2nd round and some of these names competed exceptional well last year as underages in what was regarded as a strong draft.

I would prefer us wait on Jacob Blight and let him be a pre season SSP train on player, I don't trust his shoulders.
Might not have a Choice IF other teams are Interested
