Footywire have it as 8 though, and I think they'd have a formula to decide whether or not the player is classed as a Restricted Free Agent, rather than manually updating them all. (fwiw it seems the formula still hasn't accounted for lifetime free agency either)8 years at the club but only 6 as a listed player.
bit of a unique story/set of circumstances I'll grant you.
not that it really matters - can't see him going anywhere else (or anyone else being interested)
Yeah the lifetime free agency changes were delayed to start in 2019 so clubs had time to adjust.He was at the Bulldogs for a few years, have the lifetime FA rules started this year under the new EBA?
Moot point I imagine, he seems like a popular guy and well settled at the Giants.
Ryder would be a move the Giants could consider.Would hope we re-sign Cogs and Tomlinson and if we already have their answer get onto the 2020 crowd to get ahead of it all. Big names there.
With HH signing and doing well and Toj also getting it done can see Patton being up on the trade table.
We don't seem to be fully confident in Flynn or Briggs yet so hopefully we can get a ruck to bridge the gap between a done Mummy and when they are ready.
Bonar also seems to be talked about but the club Can do what we want there with him being still contracted.
Drafting is easy as Green is being picked and or matched where ever he goes in the draft.
He is a talent.
Im sure the question would be asked but would he want to come to Sydney?Ryder would be a move the Giants could consider.
Probably quite cheaply too.
Still chasing a flag. GWS or Geelong would be his best bets, unless the Pies lose Grundy.Im dure the question would be asked but would he want to come to Sydney?
Ceglar is one that could work in a trade for Patton.
I believe Green is a top 6 talent in this years draft, so he’s likely bid on at 6 or 7. Unless Essendon implode, it’s doubtful that GWS get to use the Essendon pick before a bid is made.Would hope we re-sign Cogs and Tomlinson and if we already have their answer get onto the 2020 crowd to get ahead of it all.

He'd have moved to Sydney several years ago it if weren't for the Swans trade ban.Im sure the question would be asked but would he want to come to Sydney?
I seem to recall GWS were interested too and there were talks pick 6 or Boyd were on the table. Im stretching the memory to a period i dont care to revisit now.He'd have moved to Sydney several years ago it if weren't for the Swans trade ban.
Jacobs might be a cheaper and better option.Don't think Ryder is the right fit for us, hopefully someone else pops up, if there's a number 2 floating who wants a number 1 gig, the opportunity is there, don't need to throw big money. A ruck and re-signing everybody would be all that's required thanks.

So much talent. They just need to get the balance right.
I am not convinced Leon Cameron is the right coach moving forward and I can see them (and the AFL) throwing big money to Clarkson to get him to jump ship (or when he is next out of contract)
Big mover is Cogs and I think he is gone. Most likely to West Coast but could be hawthorn bound.
They will move on Patton as well and will be able to bring in some more good talent witrh the draft picks they get for both along with the pick they already have from Essendon.
Mumford and Lids are an interesting pair to see if they keep them around. If they let Mummy go I could see them approaching Port about Ryder.
Green is a massive issue to work out.
Currently based on ladder position they have picks 9 and 15 and possibly 16 is Coniglio goes.
Need to either upgrade to a pick before Green would plus have enough points for him. More likely if Coniglio goes.
Or they need to trade out pick 9 for a 2020 first round pick. Then downgrade pick 15 for more points like the Swans did last year.
Ceglar is one that could work in a trade for Patton.
Some tough decisions coming up, can GWS keep all of Cogs, Whitfield and Kelly? Multiple Melbourne clubs will come at all three with very big $ offers.
Might be that only two of the three can be retained but whoever is prised loose will garner significant trade picks. No way will GWS just accept the compo pick for any RFA wanting to go, will extract a pound of flesh under threat of matching.
The largesse of the start up concessions keep feeding high draft picks into GWS as they keep turning high quality escapees into two high draft picks.
Every chance he ends up at Collingwood alongside his fellow Texan.Taranto out of contract at the end of 2020 as well. Should find many Melbourne-based suiters (Victorian kid). I do find the lack of hype around him puzzling though, given he's close to being an A-grade mid in just his third year.
