It sounds like you are agreeing with me- im saying it's not instantly irresponsible in all situations to offer a 26 year old 7 years.

What im NOT saying is that it's a good idea to always offer 26 year old guns long term deals.

I too think gws have been idiotic in signing up so many players up to long, big money deals.
I'm not saying it's always a good idea- but I am saying it can have its place depending on the circumstance.

For instance- our current circumstance is that we are entering our flag window with our list peaking in the next few years.
And we could easily accommodate a long term signing of a gun mid while still being able to look after re-signing the likes of steele, marshall, clark etc.


FYI- it appears the situation is even more messed up for GWS than I thought.
Kelly can exercise his option for 1 million a year x 8 years!

Wowzer.

Surely they will be highly motivated to move him on (ie pay some of his salary)?

I think you can only pay some of someone’s salary if you trade them while they’re still contracted (like Treloar last year). Not sure if that would apply for someone who is OOC but has a trigger-clause.

The annual money is probably not the issue. Guys choose one club over another who would have paid them more every year (best case in point being when Shiel reportedly chose Essendon at $800K PA over our supposed offer of around $1.2mil PA, or Dangerfield choosing Geelong for piles less money than he could have gotten elsewhere), but it’s the 8 years that would make it hard to compete with.
 
I thought it was for Byrnes?
Which Twomey then said could have been the steal of the Draft at that late selection.

Pretty sure he went with a late pick to the Tigers that would nearly have been able to be made up with points and still get Leo. He went really late. I think we just didn't rate him.

Bryrnes was pick 51 , Richmond bid on Biggy at 54, we took Connolly at 64, then Jack Bell in the rookie draft.


I'm not sure what the points would have been but you imagine you could have cobbled together a few late late picks and listed him if we'd wanted to. My Richmond mate says he looks okay but doesn't sound like he's killing it yet. He's meant to be a supreme athlete. He said he's ruck sized but would be better suited to a wing, he reckons he's super fast and has good hands.

nah there is definately no restriction on the old club paying part of the salary of an out of contract player.

It doesn't matter if the player is in or out of contract when agreeing to be traded- because all trades result in a brand new contract.

(The players status as OOC or contracted would only matter if clubs actually took over existing contracts of contracted players)

It's not the case that the new club ever actually "takes over" the contract of a contracted player.
They simply create a new one of the same value and length as the contracted player already has (while their old contract with their former club is terminated by mutual agreement)

For instance, with hannebury- it LOOKED like we "took over" his sydney contract, but we didn't really.
We simply agreed to create a new contract w hanners that happened to be exactly the same length and value as what sydney owed him.

Btw-If there was any such restriction, it would appear in section 9 (rules and limitations on player movements)


As you can see, the AFL rules around trades are entirely silent about the possibility of two clubs paying the wages of a player.

Lack of an express rule about these situations doesn't mean they can't happen (because of course they do happen often). All that means is that standard australian contract law governs it instead of a specific AFL rule.

And std contract law allows a contract where multiple parties pay the wages of an employee.

The only way a club could get into trouble is if they tried to directly pay (with cash etc) another club for a player or draft pick- ie with no player or draft pick exchange.
That would contravene section 9.4 of the AFL rules.

The way Crossley is starting to perform in the VFL he's probably going past all of them and would cost nothing

That’s not really the right way to think about it. Commercially it’s as if the players are contracted to the AFL, even though that’s not exactly the form.

So once a player signs a contract, an AFL entity (one of the clubs) is going to pay that money, one way or another. The fact that the counterparty changes is a meaningless detail in practice.

Money changing hands for part of a player’s contract isn’t their concern. They can have confidence that they get paid one way or the other. (Except in extraordinary circumstances like covid.)

He's more Marshall than Ryder though, he's a forward ruck more than a ruck forward. Most of those are guys are more true rucks. I think he'd be a good fit though, he's a big tough mean unit who will scare defences, as a combo with King it would be a a nice point of difference and he plays a more alpha type of footy that we lack. To me you'd take him and give him a go at least, nothing to lose by it.

Yes the afl fully fund total player payments of each club, so yes you can make the argument that the AFL are indirectly the employers of players.
But the clubs are their own legal entities (despite being in practice wholly reliant on the league). As such, players are still ultimately employees of the clubs- ie the clubs give them their pay cheques, tell them what to do and when... and control when they hire and fire them.

Player contracts are actually tripartite agreements- the player, the club and the league all sign and have set obligations and responsibilities. So it's a murky world.

But going back to the original point- all of that (ie where the players pay comes from etc) is irrelevant when looking at whether contracted players can be traded if the proposed trade involves 2 clubs using their TPP allocation to fund the players wage.
 
We rated him as a rookie so weren't going to match any bid that come for him in the draft.

That makes sense , would we have got him as CatB?
You can keep CatB's cheap for 3 years, whereas a player on the main list costs more and has a 2 year contract.
Richmond will need to decide whether to keep him or not end of year.
This is exactly why clubs are a bit reticent to take talls, especially development rucks, out of the draft.

My understanding is that Biggy played most of his footy as a ruck , but at 197, he's never going to struggle to be anything special.
Alabakis (spelling?) may well wash out , but if he makes it he's 211. Sandilands was crap when he started.

So are the other guys mentioned though. Coleman Jones and the guy from Adelaide are both similar types to Marshall.

Tbh, Crossley isn't a great key forward or a great tap ruck but neither is Marshall.

I think two Marshall types would be be able to work though. The fact both can have an influence forward and around the ground would cause some head aches.

I'd love another Ryder but there aren't many around.

I would add Marbior Chol ( free agents list) and an old Sandringham player Hayden McLean to that list. I’m surprised Darcy Fort is only 27.. thought he was much older.

We don't need bing we need mids!

We currently have pick 6, I'd also ask the question to the pies for a 1st round pick swap we get there 2021 and they get our 2022.

Giving us pick 3 and 6 currently.

If billings gets band 1 compo he can go too!

Take picks 3, 6 and 7 to draft and get at least 2 mids and maybe another fwd.

Why in the world would Collingwood do that ?

Here you go you have our 1st round pick and we will miss 12months development on a top 10 pick, just makes no sense

Collingwood don’t own their 1st
 
Pies don't have their 2021 first rounder. That's at GWS.


And no club would do that trade

I agree, its like " hey mate, loan me $100 and i'll give you something between $50 and $150 next year."
