Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Brucie Buffer]

Surely the band compo that gets triggered will be moved up with the increase of the salary cap and clubs throwing more money around for average players

 

[Yardie]

they could conceivably get pick 1 and 2 this year (zuurhar compo)...

...and pick 1 and 2 next year (LDU compo)

that would go with the 2 and 3 Wardlaw and Sheezel

and the 3 and 4 McKercher and Duursma


that would be 8 top 4 picks in 4 years


astonishing

We need to be in the ear of the AFL about this and how it impacts our rebuild. Basically along the lines of you may be sorting out North but potentially could have us in the same position as them in the near future.

Surely we are offering Weitering insane $$$.

Mornington Peninsula boy, Unrestricted Free Agent in 2025.

Will take significant cash to get him across from Carlton who are contending but we would have it and we would keep our draft capital. Carlton have some players on massive contracts too. We could offer hundreds of thousands per year higher than Carlton that may turn his head.

The guy has spent his entire career battling it out to get from the bottom of the ladder to finals… coming to the Hawks would be doing it all over again.

That's why the $'s would need to be significant

Might be after some dollars he lost in being scammed. He is in the top 3 defenders in the competition.

Carlton always “find” a way to top up salary for required players.

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Our offer was structured to trigger band2 compo. Essendon upped their offer late.

Do you enjoy just making stuff up?

No chance he would leave Carlton for us.

Will take Carlton to have an ASADA investigation, all their premiership points removed and every player there bar Weitering be suspended for 12 months.

If that happens, then he might look at moving clubs.

So you’re saying theirs a chance? All in

Carlton are a team that historically finds ways of getting money to players - he'll get a VISY ambassador role, there's no way he's coming

 

[Nugett]

Do people genuinely believe Cam Zurhaar is going to net North pick 2? Not even the corrupt AFL can engineer that.

They are still rewarding Gold Coast with their academy picks… Just for being shite for a while

If your a seasoned hand out club, like North, Gold Coast, St. Kilda, GWS ect you get the benefits as the AFL wants to protect its investment. If your a “big four” club, you generally get looked after with favourable draws. When your middle of the road, club like us, that doesn’t get a lot of hand outs not considered “top four” you get screwed!

So yes the AFL will engineer a top compensation pick for Zuurhaar.

 

[onthemoney]

Is Melican talk purely hypothetical? Haven't seen anything in the news about him linked to us?

 

[Sixpence]

Is Melican talk purely hypothetical? Haven't seen anything in the news about him linked to us?

Yeh, pretty sure it's just due to him being a free agent.

They can’t there will be too much backlash McKay had to get 850 for them to be able to engineer it prior to the CBA rise Zurhaar would need to be offered close to a million a year. Anyone that does that good luck to them.

 

[tl92]

The fact north have already put a contract in front of Zurhaar tells you they want to keep him, unlike Mckay. So you’d think they’d be matching any offer and don’t expect band 1 compo.

What a strange situation. I suppose they shouldn't say those things, because they would have some inside information and that would make things awkward for all the players involved and Bevo.

But on the other hand, just lol.

Gun players just do not leave top clubs for bottom clubs for money.

By the end of next year the wheel has hopefully turned. If it does we will gain interest from FA and players coming across via trades etc including somebody like Weitering.

Draper being an absolute space cadet of the highest order is the least surprising thing to come out of this season.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I remember Nick Malceski doing it. Then playing like a bloke who was cashing in a paycheck and had lost all passion for the game.

And Brandon Ellis.

If you can call them guns.
