46 minutes until any possible compensation for Hendo disappears

Why pay when he can reunite with Sando for free ?

You dont sell old dogs mate, you give them away to good homes for free.

Goodluck hendo

Hendo > dmac

A sad day

 

[dplggr47]

The question is, will he be delisted, allowing other teams to pick him up as a DFA, or will he be offered a minimal 1-year contract?

 

[Cleric]

Well that went well.....

Was sure that you'd be legitimately upset about this.

4pm today meant nothing

The important date for free agents is in 3 days time

Only if an offer was made by today I thought.

Then, if an RFA, the current club has until 3 days time to match

Clubs are not required to advertise if an offer has been made.

They are only required to advice if they decline to match the offer.

I imagine that will happen sometime tomorrow or Tuesday.

Henderson is not a restricted free agent so if he's not picked up by 4.30pm he cannot leave as an unrestricted free agent.

In other words, he will either be retained by us or delisted. Won't be traded because clubs could have had him for free

Need to trade Douglas/Mackay/Otten to get the pick we expected from Henderson compo. Then sign Hendo for 2 years to replace said traded player.

It's not like we lose anything and could probably save cap space doing it. Definitely the way to go.

This article says he is contracted until the end of 2017

Ricky Henderson has signed a two-year contract extension, which will see him remain at Adelaide until at least the end of 2017.

Henderson was contracted until the end of next season, but the Crows moved quickly to secure his services long-term.

Unrestricted free agent and uncontracted. Did not meet an 11 game trigger on his 3+1 contract

Had a games played trigger apparently.

Delist the lot. All chaff at this point

 

[douglyzia]

I doubt we'd delist him if nobody else wants him. Good for depth.

 

[Rusty Crow]

No offers? No 3 day rule for Hendo anyway.

There's a few blokes like Eddie, Lever, Greenwood, Doc Clarke and Tayte Keasler (sp?) that are in Fiji for some BLK promotional thing.

Laird just posted a pic with him and Hendo on a plane too/from Melbourne.

Eddie, Lever, Greenwood, Clarke and Kaesler and their partners/families were in Fiji as part of the Crows Foundation to help rebuild a school that was destroyed by the recent cyclone. They did a visit with BLK but that is not the main reason they were in Fiji.

What's the likelihood of an offer sitting in an email inbox at AFL house and it's not really newsworthy on a Sunday afternoon.

No he's not. Only players in the top 25% at the club are restricted.

I think we'd get a 3rd for either of Dougie or Mackay. Then package it up with the other for a 2nd or very early 3rd. But I'm probably overeating our players. Overrating Mackay, now there's a laugh.
