How long until Clokes is classed as a veteran this would relieve some cap pressure, maybe we have front ended Pendles so we can get a big name in 2015 free agent group

What he's on now is irrelevant, it's what he's leaving for that the compo is based on.
Yeah, I was just suggesting that we don't have the choice to match any offer*. He can just go. I don't think the reported 1.2 million over three years would be a 2nd round pick but we can only hope it is. Of course, if we pick up a free agent it is a mute point really.

*
A player has served eight or more seasons of AFL football at one club, is NOT one of the top 25 per cent highest-paid players at his club, and is now out of contract for the first time since reaching eight seasons of service. (Unrestricted Free Agent)

The player is eligible to field offers from all rival AFL clubs.

If he wishes to change clubs, the player must decide on the best offer of his choice from one rival club.

His club does NOT have the right to match the presented offer, and the player can move AUTOMATICALLY to the new club of his choice.

His original club will receive a compensation pick for the loss of the player, on an AFL-determined formula to apply where clubs lose more free agents than they gain in any single transfer period.

I'm not necessarily bothered about players of the calibre of goldsack etc leaving the club, however it creates a bad perception.

We want to be a destination club for quality players.

If Beam does leave, god forbid, we will be in total rebuild mode. Would want a juddesque deal to get it done too (pick 4 and Aish/Taylor/or involve another club). Don't believe it at this stage though

If he leaves on $400k per year, with the solid season he's had, we will get a second rounder.

That would dull the pain of losing one of my favorite underrated players.
I believe we signed Young on a 3yr deal worth around $1M in total. Hawthorn got nothing in compensation.

We'll be lucky to get a 3rd rounder on a 3 year deal at $400k p.a.

nah, young got a third round compensation. i reckon we'd do well to get an end of second round compensation for goldy which would be about pick 40.

Right you are. Just checked. I thought Hawthorn were spewing that they got no compo that year. Must have been someone else.

Rumour coming out of ponsford stand tonight is that Port were heavily into Broomy but switched their attention onto Goldsack after it became known that Broomy had put pen to paper with the Pies this week.

I keep hearing more and more that beams will seek a trade up to Brisbane. I hope for our sake that this isn't the case but it is gathering momentum.
Yeah that rumour is like the Sam Reid to us rumour. It crops up every year because supposedly there are go home & sibling factors, but comes to nothing in the end.
