Free Agency Joe Daniher [RFA to Brisbane for 1st round compensation pick]

[Johnny Bananas]

How are you and Lore etc.

Aware of the workings of the secret formula?

Contract length is a small part of the calculations or a tie breaker?

I just read the articles by journalists who aren't total hacks. I assume Lore does too.

AFL trades 2020: Free agency compensation formula, how does it work, Brad Crouch, Adelaide, St Kilda, free agents, details | FOX SPORTS

It’s perhaps the most complicated, confusing and controversial part of the entire trade period.

Joey and Hipwood both the tall targets at the lions. Talk about firing blanks in the forward line.

Yeah, us Lions fans are devastated.

If they have a good goal kicking night tho..

Geelong were scary this year. Imagine next with season with their ins.

Really?
Selwood is done, Danger is slowing down, Duncan over 30, Ablett done and Hawkins is over 30.

 

[dumb]

Nothing wrong with being pleased at getting pick 7, it's a tidy return. But it just makes last year's blunder not moving on an injury-riddled want-away all the more obvious.
2 draft picks wasn't enough at the trade table last year for many Bomber fans. Now pick 7 is a steal? Hmm...

 

[JayJ20]

Seriously? You think you won?

You know that 12 months ago there were two firsts on the table from Sydney right? One was their 2020 future pick, which was pick 3.

Now you get just pick 7.

But ok congrats on winning I guess?

I didn't realise they had somehow acquired pick 9 because they definitely didn't put pick 5 on the table.

Regardless, using pick 7 is good enough to allow us to potentially trade for Dunkley if he requests a trade. All that matters. Win/win for both sides.

Literally the oldest team ever to boot

Who is going to kick the goals?

I'm hoping we can trade up if Adelaide get pick 2 compensation so that we can pick McDonald.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

B-but Joe will just walk to Sydney for free! There's n-no way he'll get band 1!

Ok mate it was a big win for Essendon you got half of what you could have got last year I love the logic

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Geelong were scary this year. Imagine next with season with their ins.

I'm not sure we're going to see full benefit to be honest.

If it clicks happy days but the cats have spent 3 years on a forward line system based on guys playing purely defensive roles and pressuring the exits for midfield and back half turnovers.

This is important because the backline has a few decent players but gets exposed with fast ball movement. This is why they are often so slow and deliberate.

Now with Jez in we might be 2-3 goals per game better off on the points for column. But also maybe we find ourselves 3-4 goals worse if in the points conceded column.

I have reserved optimism. Excited to find out

Adelaide will take him pick 1 won’t they?

 

[Hollow Knight]

My feel is Brisbane didn’t offer as much as people are suggesting it maybe be cynical but I believe the AFL have given the Lions a thank you present for the Queensland government saving the AFL this year and needs a strong Lions team

I think the AFL present clearly is for Essendon, not us. They have literally uttered the words “the AFL needs a strong Essendon” before.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Hard to see why Essendon fans are so smug about having a former best and fairest, all Australian, son of a club legend walk out the door because he can’t stand the joint all because the AFL have gifted them pick 7 so that Dodo can pick the next Aaron Francis or Scott Gumbleton

Not if they compare it to this year’s reduced cap.

Great deal for both clubs and we don’t have to ride the Dodorocoaster.

Welcome Joe you bloody stud!

That moustache is instantaneously way less irritating.

They don't even know what the cap is so how can they base anything on an as yet unknown figure?
I would think most of these contracts would have adjustments for the yet unknown reduced cap (i.e. Daniher's contract to be adjusted by whatever the cap reduction is), meaning that these figures would be compared to current figures and reduced in proportion to the existing contracts.
I know you would desperately want to believe that you aren't paying him more than that, but either you are or Essendon have just been given a massive leg up. I think you must be paying him $800K per season.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Maybe it's backend contract with a higher salary next year which is closer to a million. Has anyone taken than into account?

It goes on the overall amount of the contract how they structure it doesn’t matter he could be getting the majority at the end of the deal it wouldn’t matter

 

[JayJ20]

Adelaide will take him pick 1 won’t they?

I think they're looking to take Thilthorpe with pick 1 because he is from SA.

 

[juss]

How much did the Lions have to commit to a guy with a chronic overuse injury? Not sure he's ever going to be the full preseason/season type. You'd think hed be on fair coin for length to get Bombers pick 7.

 

[Northernsoul74]

I think they're looking to take Thilthorpe with pick 1 because he is from SA.

That’s a reach at 1, plus McDonald has some family ties to SA.

Yep if anyone at Essendon had half a brain they wouldn’t Let dodoro any where near the draft with 2-3 top ten picks I would be sending him on a holiday

 

[NeutralFan]

With Brisbane's medical history and Daniher actually in a good mindset it'd not surprise me at all if he gets back to 2017 form.

You’re wrong, but thanks for your thoughts.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

7 could end up a spud. 3 + 9 much better chance of landing an elite player. If 7 is a Joel Selwood though rejecting the Sydney offer won't matter as much

I think I would still take pick 3 and 9 over pick7 mate

 

[fddf]

Agree with this. He's likely to make a McCartin over Petracca type of mistake

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Pick 8 for Saad thanks

When the trade falls over after a week of trying to negotiate with dodoro he will probably be silly enough to use pick 7 to redraft sadd
