Also unlike Carlton, I don't see us extracting much laughter out of this one.Exactly. Since when is Richmond a rival? We've only ever played one important game against them

So do I. So when he signs a three year deal for around the 750 to 800 we were paying him are we gonna get a better compensation pick than Brad Crouch?I had a hunch this was happening, he wasn’t able to get on the park due to injuries
I wish him all the best!
750 to 800 could be in the ball park for tier 1 (pick 5) compo if it's for a reasonable number of years (maybe his age tells agaisnt it but). Probably RFC wont give him that much unfort.So do I.

Noah Balta would be my first preference to bring back in, but Talia would be great depth at worst.Tigers makes sense. Astbury out, DT in
Don’t we only get some compo if he is signed as a RFA? If they wait long enough and we are forced to delist him, we get nothing as a DFA. Have Richmond got any players leaving under FA and potential compensation of their own to protect?750 to 800 could be in the ball park for tier 1 (pick 5) compo if it's for a reasonable number of years (maybe his age tells agaisnt it but).

Does the same compensation formula apply to delisted free agents? Or is compensation only for restricted / unrestricted free agents? I was under the impression that you didn't get any compensation for DFA's, only RFA/UFA, but I can't actually find a clear answer either way.So do I.

Couldn't they play all three of Talia/Balta/Grimes (presuming Talia's not cooked, of course)? It's a formula that seems to have worked in the pastNoah Balta would be my first preference to bring back in, but Talia would be great depth at worst.
Not sure - recent posts here haven't been able to conclude whether we'd get compo if Tals signs with another club.Don’t we only get some compo if he is signed as a RFA?

When does the FA window open? Before 31 October?Not sure - recent posts here haven't been able to conclude whether we'd get compo if Tals signs with another club.
[thumbing thru AFL Rules] from section 4.8 Players Bound if Listed:
(b) If a contract between a Club and a Player expires on 31 October in any year, the
Player shall remain registered as a Player of and be bound to the Club until the
conclusion of the National Draft Selection Meeting in the relevant year. This
Rule does not apply if the Club deletes the Player’s name from its List during the
period 31 October until the time and day when the de-listed Player is able to
nominate for the National Draft Selection Meeting under Rule 6.2(c).
So just because we're not offering Tals a new contract, he's not necessarily-deleted-delisted () right away.
Also, from Fox article AFL trade state of play: The big list calls every club is facing ahead of exchange period, it states:
Daniel Talia will not be offered a new contract as he finished up the monster five-year deal he signed in 2016. He is one of two high-profile unrestricted free agents at the club, with ...
Article doesn't list any Richmond free agents leaving.

While dates are still TBA, the Rabbit's thread gives a good idea of the sequence of events I think:When does the FA window open? Before 31 October?
Apologies for coming in so late, but I am all of 24 pages behind.
I'd appreciate some brief answers, or a summary, please:
Talia has said he's got 3 or 4 years still in him at the highest level. Why did the Crows not offer him a contract?
Is there some kind of ill-feeling between Talia and Nicks (who has admitted to clashing with Seeds last year)?
Of course that's what Talia woukd say, what else is he going to say when he wants to extend his football career and earningsApologies for coming in so late, but I am all of 24 pages behind.

Hard to buy this too much given we were a team who spent half the season trying to get away with only playing one.Crows have a backlog of KPD’s that we need to get games into.
