News Brad Crouch to Saints (STK make offer; Band 3, ADL to match?)

[Bearded Clam]

Simon Lethlean would have a copy of the formula from his previous role at the AFL, it will get Band 1 by a handful of dollars.

Work on other picks now, pick 9 & 21 to Swans for pick 4?

he probably would’ve already contacted his former colleagues and had them confirm whats required..

Does that leave the Swans with enough points to match any bid on Campbell in the top 5?

 

[GROTTO]

we should make it an unwritten rule on this board that whenever Dursma’s name is mentioned the now famous gif must accompany said comment...

View attachment 998167

What I need is a gif of Duursma giving crap to Lynch and in the same gif, hatching an egg by dropping the 2020 Premiership.

Make it happen someone please.

Its a looooonngg summer ahead.

Do they enough points for them to match for Campbell even if it cost them pick 9 + a very late pick for points? You would do it if you were Sydney.

Channel 9 reporting st Kilda threatening to pull out if adelaide force a trade.

If Adelaide match, he stays. There will be no "forcing a trade". Saints know that, they're not "threatening to pull out", they just know what will happen.

Barrett: "Pick 2 is not fair because every other team gets bumped back 1 spot in the draft"

Errr... yeah, because this is the first time in AFL history that a compensation pick has been given to a club.

What a dolt. Rendell sounds like he wants to belt him.

Ever since I heard it was St Kilda x 5 years I was confident it was Band 1, and still am.

 

[hey shorty]

Saints list manager flat out said if we match the offer "Brad won't be coming our way"

Really ???

 

[ams4crows]

Saints will be my second favourite team if they offer enough to get us Pick 2

I will buy a Saints scarf if we get pick 2

Faaaaaaark, noooooooo.... you said “Duursma” in your comment and didnt add the gif... no soup for you.




Damn... of all people to fail me on this Grotto, i thought you’d be the last...

Just plays into the boards theory of Pick 2 or he stays

Saints also have to be careful, pulling out basically says to any future prospective RFA that signing with the Saints could very well be meaningless because they won't go all the way to get you in if their hand is forced.

 

[conVINCEd]

Well they kind of do, don’t they? They announce that they are exploring their options under free agency so clubs know they they are approachable.

Players only ‘announce’ that because they’ve agreed on a deal with another club, the offers don’t only start coming into after a player tells the media he’s exploring free agency. That’s nuts.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

And kick the winning goal against the Saints and Port Power.

 

[Sanders]

Sanders obviously knows that. The point is, we chose to go ahead and do a trade, rather than choosing not to trade and going onto the free agency process.

If we had wanted to match, we would have avoided doing the trade. By doing the trade, we chose to avoid that option. There was no obligation to do the trade.

we don’t choose. Geelong got to choose, all we control is once a signed free agent contract is lodged with the AFL

Enjoy your player then, you should have offered him his worth in the first place.

 

[hey shorty]

Obviously your club doesn't think he's worth much if you aren't prepared to trade.

Campbell won't be bid on top 5 which if we did the deal would comprise WB/JUH, Crows 1,2,4 and Norf. Earliest would be Hawks at pick 6 or more likely later than that.

JUH, McDonald, Hollands, Phillips, DGB, Tilthorpe (us) top 6 players, imagine three of those in one swoop!

If Swans aren't really keen on a player at 4, they may settle for matching Campbell with our pick 9, then getting a player with our 22 the first pick of the second round, plus Gulden later in the second round. Will mean no deficit in 2021 for them. I'd be enquiring.

Hahaha! You'll get Crouch for 800k which will get us pick 2 and everyone is happy (apart from Damo)

Correct. He said Saints need to make sure it’s a band 1 offer or they won’t get their guy because they need their trade capital for non free agents they’re getting in.

 

[Drewie11]

It’s official

 

[Sanders]

What are you talking about? If you don't nominate and take up the FA, how will other clubs know to bid for you.
Hint....search for the word nominate and no need to apologies and thank me, I'm used to correcting your post for a while now.

[Thetrader15]

I put it to you that channel 9 don't know sh*t

That's because there are so many machinations at play

We were prepared to offer the contract he wanted if he wanted to leave , as was his entitlement.
You really don't get it do you?
