Did it suggest how Marty Clarke would get to us? Eg first round draft pick? PSD? Some deal with Leprechauns? or Giants? Or maybe the AFL are about.....to bring in a new rule? (to supercede the 'old' new rule about players being allowed a year off and then return to the same list; now all past players on any list have a 'free time away from the game agency' right to return to said list if Club agrees after a relaxed few years down the track).
Think Bucks and an attacking-focused Marty would click well, but there might be a few rainbows to tick yet before anything 'is certain'.
GWS are in it for the long run and most want high draft picks and future draft picks.
O'Meara is a projected no.1/2 overall for the 2012 draft - very strong.
Shaw is worth closer to pick 7/8 in an open market I would calculate - but would obviously have far greater value to Collingwood due to age + level of production when playing.
!
He would never be on the open market. If they had the chance to secure a player like Shaw who could lead their backline for over 5 years they would do it. Especially when they are likely to secure a few other compo picks in the 2012 draft anyway.

I reckon you are spot on Knightmare. I would expect the range for Shaw would be 7-10. Not lower than that, though.
GWS would want a Shaw, plus an early first round pick (which we wouldn't have) if they were going to even consider giving us one of the picks that could land O'Meara.

Wouldn't these 4 as rookies have been one year contracts. Thus contract ending at the end of this year?
Nah standard minimum contract is 2 years for new draftees. Don't know what the rules are for players that have previously been in the system though.
I also believe that Blair would be signed up until the end of 2012 as I'd assume he got a standard two year deal when upgraded.
Have they changed it recently? In the past the whole point of the rookie list was that they were only on a one year contract.
The CBA ensures that all Players drafted for the first time must be contracted by that AFL Club for a minimum
period of two (2) years (apart from promoted Rookie Players who can be contracted for one (1) year).
The minimum payment to Rookie Players in Seasons 2007 is $30,000 which is not included in Clubs’ TPP.
i was just thinking before that collingwood love grabbing a delisted or recycled player and turning them good i rekon we might grab one again this year
someone like byron schammer or something hard to tell but hes one thats worth a punt and looks on the verge of delisting
Anyone else read the short article in todays paper about Marty Clarke likely to make a comeback to the pies?
Saw this article that said Clarke spoke to the Pies, who didn't want him, so he'd just be nominating for the draft.

Given the date of this article, it is a lot more recent (only by a few days). Surprised that we said "No" (must be salary cap reasons) and also surprised that we could claim him without him nominating for the draft or trying to orchestrate a deal with another club.

I don't think we could have claimed him directly, without him going through the draft somehow. We could have last year, because there's some clause that allows (international only?) players who have been off a club's list for 1 year to return directly to that club. However, Clarke's been off our list for 2 years now, so that clause wouldn't be applicable anymore.
Hypothetically if we did have first dibs at Marty- could we trade him on to another club? Marty, Goldy and pick for.........
