They ain't going to spend that money and risk losing butters

Don’t know why this keeps getting mentioned. We have a ton of cap space which is evident by the fact we were throwing over 1M a year at NWM this year. We wouldn’t be doing that if it meant we wouldn’t then have the cash to throw at Butters 12 months later.

We obviously didn’t get NAS. That money is still there though and available regardless of how much we had already planned to put to Butters. It’s not like they haven’t planned for his extension when considering NWM this year… or that it would have to have meant one or the other.

Its not how much Port are prepared to offer butters, its how much other clubs will that port are going to have to try and match to force a trade if he wants back to victoria. There is the real possibility of sides throwing 10 year $20 million + deals his way. But by all means squeeze you cap and take Ah Chee, as you say, its all good and port will be prepared for it even if a million + down in cap due to Ah Chee that they never factored in till now

The salary cap is also increasing which it’s been reported we haven’t included those increases into the current contracts, meaning we have an automatic pool of cash available.

Then including this year we cleared off Willie, Boak, Finlayson and Burtons contracts, which being conservative frees up 1.5M a year and Soldo (thank god), next year 600k off the books.

We are aware monster offers will be coming for Butters. There will be plenty there to match and go after another player, just as we did with NWM without blowing the cap apart.
 
Going to say the exact same thing I’ve already said on here. Look at the father son game requirement for SA, now compare that to WA, then to Vic.

Brisbane benefit off the Vic scheme, since they used to be Fitzroy.

Why is one state 200 games, vs 150, vs 100? So yeah, I guess when a father son for that actually plays AFL for Adelaide, which has happened once in history rolls around, I guess that’s too much
Crows started 1991 so have 100 game access for all players since then. Lions F/S come from the 2001-03 3peat era. Poor breeding stock clearly!

You got pick 14 for baker I bet if they offered you around 36 and 54 you would have an issue
Doubt it.
2 flags for a rookie whatever we got would be cream on top.
You got 2 flags out of Ah Chee.
Goes with your blessing not that hard surely.
 
Lions weren’t acting like 2 year olds having tantrums we were only looking for a good deal
2 flags not a good deal?
But like I said the Crows aren't angels in this saga either.
Pick 16 in this years draft for a 2x premiership player is quite fair i think.

no, thats not how it works or your club would of got pick 40 for baker and not 14

Richmond also got 3 first rounders for Shai Bolton with 1 back
Richmond also got 6 and 23 for rioli

This thread has been both entertaining and utterly embarrassing from both parties.
And the Powa supporters dipping their oar in not much better actually!!

What's the highlight of the Powa's trade period apart from digging up unwanted spuds from other clubs in the potato patch like Wehr, Durdin and Brodie? Going all out for a SANFL Premiership?

Bolton & Rioli were contracted so we had the upper hand.
Bakes well West Coast to their credit could've given us pick 99 or psd but chose the respectful way.
As a young Don Coloene once said.

what the **** are you on about, they didnt offer pick 16

they offered a future second

He said in his post, that Adelaide should have offered pick 16 and it would have been OK.

A good deal or fair doesn’t really matter when a player is out of contract. Brisbane has no problem offering unders for out of contract players as they know clubs essentially don’t have a choice. Many Brisbane fans will delight that I should mention the Dunkley trade as the basis of my disgust of Brisbane in this episode. regardless of the team I support, his trade is a quintessential example of Brisbane’s hypocrisy.

Just a spiteful and arrogant club - sabotaged themselves and brought down a two-time premiership hero with them.

This is the ah Chee thread not the 2022 dunkley thread that was 3 years ago, you also got future first and 21 sounds pretty decent to me
