$1.85 million over 8 years for a $800k ruckman who is injured more often than not.
Thats insane. Genuinely insane.
Good luck to Tom. No way he could turn that down. Congrats
Not seeing the bad luck here. When you start losing players over the next couple of years, it'll be you guys crying.Bad luck gents x
We are not matching the bid. There is no ****ing upside in us matching the bid. If we matched the bid, Tom will turn around and say thank you very much, I'm staying at Carlton. Then we're stuck with an 8 year, 1.7m/year contract.you're only thinking about the 1.7 and not the options with matching. If De Koning really wants to leave, you match it and then trade with St. Kilda and make them pay properly.
The Shitstains basically have a 2 year window to try and make themselves relevant before:St Kilda fans thinking they're a destination club after finally landing a player who's never been amongst the top 50 players in the game and throwing generational wealth at him just to say yes.

He'd net us a band 2, end of first round.JSOS would probably net us a second rounder
Don’t forget their boom recruit Paddy Dow!Stocker and Carroll back.
Good luck for next year.Bad luck gents x
'St Kilda' and 'relevant' are two words rarely seen in the same sentence....Good luck for next year.
Tom might lift you from 12th to 9th.
Hell you will even be relevant in the media for a few weeks, which will be a nice change.
Go and watch your one and only black and white grand final victoryWhat would you guys be hoping for in a trade for Charlie?
Top 15 pick?
Then should our compensation be much higher than pick 9 given it probably ranks as the biggest FA signing in the history. 1.8 x 8?To receive Band 1 compensation in the AFL, a departing player's contract needs to fall within the top five percent of player contracts in the league, based on average guaranteed value and age, and the contract value must align with the most recent salary cap.
This compensation is based on a comparison to existing contracts, with clubs needing to meet this threshold to secure a high draft pick, such as the compensation pick after their own first-round pick.
Hes never been good enough as a tap ruckmen to become truly elite as a ruck.They're banking on the potential he's shown become actual talent and he becomes one of the premier ruckmen in the league. We've been banking on that for the last 8 years and all he's shown is that potential.
If the Aints put in a bid on Dean, It'd eat our TDK compo pick and move that back to the 20s.If we get an end of 1st round comp pick for jsos ..what else would we need in terms of picks to match a saints bid on Dean
Sorry..assuming we trade the tdk pickIf the Aints put in a bid on Dean, It'd eat our TDK compo pick and move that back to the 20s.
Must be a nice problem to have. Enjoy your lack of itWhy's is it Bad luck that where not paying 1.8 million a season for a average ruckman
Good luck keeping some of your good young kids coming through in the next few yrs because you've given all your salary to 2 players
Must be a nice problem to have. Enjoy your lack of it
are you highWhat would you guys be hoping for in a trade for Charlie?
Top 15 pick?
Good luck with that list

For pick one, we'd probably toss in the TDK compo pick as well as Charlie. For pick 2, you'd probably get Charlie straight up... maybe a second round coming with pick 2.Genuinely interested in what Blues fans would expect for Curnow if he moved. We don’t need key forwards at WCE but would pick 1 suffice?
No way - just no way ......For pick one, we'd probably toss in the TDK compo pick as well as Charlie. For pick 2, you'd probably get Charlie straight up... maybe a second round coming with pick 2.
