News NWM stays at Saints (Will Faulkner wrong about being crows bound)

[jackag24]

We would still force a trade for multiple first next year as a RFA over a single pick as compo.

hes restricted fa though

So we match whatever offers he gets, and then it becomes a live trade..? is that right?

Has their been an example of that in the AFL yet?

yep exactly

not sure about this though, but we are able to match any offer apprently

 

[dirty2]

If he goes to the draft and has a high salary.. the only club we would need to worry about is west coast if they "don't" sign that Harley Reid dude?

 

[ctpower]

The bidding for NWM is essentially a blind auction being run by Ben Williams. All Clubs are in the dark.

However, there is a belief going round that Adelaide have front loaded their proposed deal in a major way. Without giving the exact figure I was told the belief was well over 2M/year in 26 and 27.

Does that make a difference chewy

 

[Chewy316]

Nice analogy though it assumes highest bid wins and that doesn’t seem clear.

Doesn't mean highest bidder wins at all.
Could be a case of the player wanting to maximize the financial benefit with a certain Club. Keeping the bids blind would do that.

 

[all seeing eye]

That is not what has been said at all - more so NWM manager is keeping all offers secret and isn't using them to drive bids up by saying XXX Team has offered this much.

For someone called the all seeing eye, you sure miss a lot.

Do you really believe that its blind, oh to be young and naive

Jeremy Cameron was a RFA which the giants matched and forced the trade for 3 firsts instead of taking the compo.

Same for Danger when he went to the Cats as the trade returned a better haul.

I get it, I'd be a pissed off nervous wreck too if I were them. We might understand their pain next year if Butters hasn't signed.

If I remember correctly last year we lost a 2 x All Australian for SFA

I still don't understand why you guys didn't hold Houston to his contract.

 

[Port2Power]

I still don't understand why you guys didn't hold Houston to his contract.

Hinkley's promise of getting him back home so he could be with his GF which now has an ex in front of...

Dodgy Paul Connors bent Port over

Port work on the philosophy of creating an environment players enjoy and want to be there.

They don’t hold players who want out to contracts as they believe it does more harm than good in the end.

 

[longdonkey]

I still don't understand why you guys didn't hold Houston to his contract.

As I understand it there was a verbal deal with Hinkley that he could go if we could get the right deal. Its under the pretext that he wanted to move back to Melbourne to be with his girlfriend. Its my understanding the money he is getting is a lot more at Collingwood than Port and in general he wasn't the greatest admirer of our King and Messiah Hinkers.
So I think there were a few moving parts to it.

Praise our Lord and Saviour. 20 days to go

Swans held Papley to his contract when he asked to be traded to Blues all those years ago. Considering you guys were definitely in window last year, why then trade him to Collingwood who were a main rival and would only be made better.

Sounds like Kenny going is the best thing for your mob.

Hinkers likes dissent a little less than Vladimir Putin. But he is more ruthless than Putin.

Don't you just hate Hawthorn

 

[Rash]

Don't you just hate Hawthorn

Only because of 2014 and the fact they are victorian

All of the stuff thats happend in the last year is a one sided rivalry

 

[gbear]

Where are Hawthorn going to get 6 first round draft picks from?

 

[SainterinSydney]

Interesting, so if Nas goes to Port, Hawks think they can get Butters.

 

[longdonkey]

They think they can get Butters whether Nas comes or not. What they will try to do is get Reid this year and work out if they can get Butters in next year.

 

[SainterinSydney]

That is obscene if they get both.

 

[all seeing eye]

That is obscene if they get both.

Going to need 6 to 8 first rounders.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Hawthorn always pop up when a half decent player is up for grabs. They don’t always get them

 

[Rash]

If he doesnt sign after round 24, i think he is 99% gone
