Essendon and Port have indicated they'd take him if he went into the PSD.

Port wont, Essendon a very big possibility

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

O'Keefe's manager said that he wants to go to Carlton, so there is a very strong chance of him coming on board. We still even get to keep our pick 6. GREAT WORK CARLTON.

unfortunately bluesforever he has no say in the matter now... If a team can accomodate his terms he will be heading there... He can longer nominate his club of choice...

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

If not ROK in the PSD, who else is there for us?

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

No we wont be getting ROK now. We can't fit him into the cap and the Don's are hot on his arse.

I see... hmm. Hope Essendon backs off.

Dont worry... Swanny has everything under controll... both on the salary cap issue and essendon issue

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

Tough, but not impossible. Too many factors outside our control IMO. The 2 things going for us are:

(A) The Blues are his preferred Club
(B) We have enough $ to accommodate his needs

The bigger issue is whether he want's to risk going into the PSD, because he might end up at one of the regional bottom-4 disaster Clubs. I suspect he'll re-sign with the Swans. Plenty of time for him to sit down with Swann and work through the scenarios.

He'll be 28 years old next year. Pass.

Last I heard Ratten had a "must be able to play 100 games for the Club" criteria. We need to be strong and stick to our development plan, and resist the top-up urge.

Oops.
EDIT:

Interesting to know what the reason was, but glad he's off our list.

Double Oops.

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

he will resign with the swans, if not i dont see how melbourne cant afford him i would love to know who the hell they are paying anything over $400,000.

EDIT:Double Oops.

Did I want us to trade draft picks for O'Keefe. NO and we didn't. Would I like the Blues to get him via the PSD. YES and we might. Think you don't understand the difference between Trade Week and the PSD. lol.

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

I'm guessing Murph is about to sign a back ended contract soon?

There is a difference?

You learn something new everyday

They need to reduce their TPP to 92.5% of the salary cap.

Source? Where has this come from that Carlton is his preferred destination?

Maybe so, but is also speculative, just because they made the biggest reported play for him doesn't mean he has nominated them as his preference. They can;t afford him anyway as if he does nominate for a draft the price he will put on his head in order to detract interest from non-vic teams will MOST DEFINITELY rule our hawthorn

 

[BlueYoss]

Re: Now for O'Keefe in the PSD...

Does anyone know if time on money comes into play when contracts are front or back ended?

ie. are do fontloaded contracts end up being less money because of the value of having the money earlier than backended contracts because the club gets the value of the money until a later stage in the contract?
