800k x 3 gives them band one very likely (Likely top 10-12 pick), that’s a pretty juicy return.

hard to get extraneous bonus picks to clubs now as the AFL signs off on each individual transaction
Yeah, it'd probably need to be around a superfluous player, or PERHAPS we move a really good 2nd from this year into a second next year.

There's surely an equivalent of Geelong get pick 11 for pick 23 that we could do.

This might have been mentioned already, but Draper wants to come back to SA. Good chance we snag him next year.
Strange given he re-signed until 2025 just prior to Christmas and the Don's seemingly on the up?

Look, if I'm honest I'd probably be supportive of any Tasmanian player going back.

Just hope we get proper compo ...
Oh, you poor deluded fool..

You think the VFL is gonna give us decent compo for any player we lose to tassie!..

If Jones did say yes to going and playing for a new Tassie team… Purple, Whateley, Kornes etc will be straight on the front foot poo pooing him, talking down any value in him and demanding Crows give him up for next to nothing for the “good of the game”..

Deep down you know it..

Jones could win the brownlow between now and then and those nasty, hate filled fxxks would still argue till the cows come home that he’s worth no more than a late second in compo.

Yeah I’d imagine IF Draper was to come home, it’d be as a Lycett replacement for the Pear. Missing piece etc etc
Can we then grab their Visentini? Mobile, athletic young ruck just starting to find his feet with it all ahead of him, can get forward as well.

Yeah good points. I suppose though the beauty of FA‘s is the lack of pick collateral used. if we are needing to pay Redman material overs (say 800K, probably 100-150k more than pure market value in a non FA situation) to get Bombers a Band 1 compo to stop Dodo matching and then ALSO reward them further with a juicy second (or pick upgrade etc), some of the attraction of getting Redman as a free agent is diminished. Still probably worth it but suddenly we are paying material overs on salary (for an important role but not a absolutely crucial one) AND giving up a decent pick. Would be OK with one but both isn’t optimal IMO

If we get him as a FA then that's the whole deal, we can't just give Essendon another pick as and extra even if we wanted to

Yes I am clear on the explicit rules. I am responding to previous messages from Megoman which alludes to Bombers maybe needing more just a Band 1 compo pick to not match. If they match we either lose Redman or have to pay up more than a second rounder and believe he is searching for some grey area to circumvent the rules so all parties satisfied
 
I kinda feel like we are only a few weeks away from the rumors about all our Vic kids being hunted by Vic clubs.

Wouldn't be surprised if a few clubs come sniffing around Sholl with the way he's been playing. Gollant would probably be high on that list as well.
