Has to stipulate the terms, if he wants to set some, when enters the draft. Equally has to agree he will go into the draft and play for whomever selects him on those terms. Every club enters with the same option to draft him and he will have to go there. Having fun yet? Im having fun :)
He does but they aren't made available, only the Hawks will know, other teams have to give their cap details to the AFL who will decide whether they have room, if they do they re given the contract terms, if not they are simply told no they cant.

The tricky bit is the player can nominate exact amount in the ASA and cap and teams will need to have enough space in both to meet this, just having enough money overall gets you a no, like Brisbane and GWS did with Tippett.

If we did 8 for our 2017 first rounder and the Hibberd pick, Hawthorn would be completely boxed out and would have to up the offer if they had any chance of securing him.

GC have two picks for next year so they can chase players again.

We either get O'Meara for a first and second or at worst, we have two top 10 picks in a very good top 10 of the 2016 draft.

Long shot, but more realistic than the Hawks getting 3. Might be the catalyst for getting Hawthorn to offer more.

Its my understanding that he would nominate a contract length and amount per year (lets say $750,000) and then its up the club thats looking to pick him up whether they want to front-load it etc to fit him in. Think its crazy to think that clubs like Essendon, Fremantle and GC themselves wouldn't be able to match the Hawks offer.

And the likes of EfC and Carlton will have the cap room.

There is no room for Hawfies to wriggle.

It's time to pay the Tone.

Those three could, Brisbane and Carlton could do it without even consulting the books.

once we have 8 and JOM committed, we would surely get him to go to the PSD.
No skin off GCS' back or ours.
We just need to make 8 worthwhile to GCS.
2017 1st & 29 is better than 10 and 48.

Yep, but it could be 550k in ASA and 200k in the cap or 0 in the ASA and 750k in the cap or any combination in between.

Only the Hawks will know that part.

So a team will need to clear $750k from its cap and all of its ASA component to be sure of meeting that contract. Then course if its 800k a year they will be told they cant afford it. Look up how Tippett got to the Swans wit the last pick in the psd.

Mediators coming in tomorrow. Question is not whether it will get done, but what else is Hawthorn giving up?
Has to be a player to either GC or a third party.

Uhhhh can you explain 2 things to me please.

1. What do you believe the ASA is?
2. Where has it ever been said a player can nominate whether their paid in the salary cap or ASA?

The answer probably lies between 10 and 48, and what he would be worth on the open market. If he just said to the Suns, send me to any of the 17 clubs, just get the best value for your club.

He is literally worth top dollar according to Hawthorn.
There would be 40 or 50 players at least on more coin than we are offering him.

We will get a good look at how shrewd Cochrane is tomorrow. If pick 8 gets traded to Essendon/North/Richmond/St Kilda (or any other Victorian team), we can expect things to heat up drastically, as the draft threat loses much of its venom. That club has a month to work on Jaeger to get him on side.
So Cochrane will help other clubs get his player for free? That makes exactly zero sense. But given its Cochrane I suppose it is possible.

Next year hopefully another club has a crack at a GCS player then we can make a play for them in the Draft.
