What's all this complaining about trading Yeo? Nobody is trading for him as a UFA. I'd also suggest the very best compensation that could be hoped for is band 3 and it might not even be that since were he to leave I can't imagine the destination club offering a deal that doesn't include a...

This is entirely correct. We paid for Jackson in points equivalent pretty much what WC would have hypothetically been prepared to pay. I.e. Pick two with something coming back. I know we ended up paying the points equivalent of pick two by itself but us finishing as low as we did in 2023 was at...

It's Father sons that have been the problem recently not the academies. I think this will be the first time since 2016 there has been more than 1 first round NA player. Whereas the last 2 drafts have had 5 first round father sons and we're looking at 2 this year and 3+ the year after.

So Freo trade entirely out of draft and give up the equivalent of pick 4 in 2018 points alone in order to obtain a future third rounder and a first round upgrade of a few places that could even potentially turn out to be a downgrade. Why would anyone waste time talking about this as if it was a...

I heard the club flew him out and made sure he was seen down near the HQ to try and force Carlton's hand at three.

Would definitely prefer a summarising Preust competition to the North / Richmond shitpost one in the draft rumours thread

Ryan may be small be he is not a 'small forward'. Hardy crumbed a goal in his life. Hard to when you're jumping (admittedly impressively high) for every ball or be front and square when you're coming straight up the ground at it.

So how would such a system work then? Clubs are forced to agree to accept a player at the best terms offered to them? What if it takes them over the cap?

Their company forces them to go and work for someone else on terms they dictate? Not a good comparison Yeah for shirtload more money. And they players associations agree to the conditions. In a regular employment market it would be restraint of trade.

Uh-huh, and on what terms? Team 1 offers a player 3 years and $750000 and pick 20 in trade and club 2 in the state offers 2 years at $450,000 but pick 10. Does this mean the player should be forced to accept a much worse deal when his career is only one injury away from ending? The system as it...

All you could do with deal like Krakouers and Lee's is maybe try and rate them by the points system brought in for the academy stuff this year. Lee's deal I suspect would be equivalent to a very low pick (my recollection being he being for a pick downgrade from 12 to 16 I.E. not much). Krakouer...

Crazy talk, has a recycled player even been taken below 50? Let alone a high second round pick? Quick research here A bit of quick excel filtering the above here suggests no player in the last ten years has been redrafted higher than the 50's and in the last 20 years only 2 or three players have...
