Trade rumours

As i said i think its a free agency thing, but clubs can match the wages offered to some players, maybe the top 25% on their list, if they dont match the wages the player can leave. This may only be for restricted free agents or i am confused?

The way I understand it is there are 2 types of free agents:

Unrestricted Free Agents - those who are out of contract and have been at the club for either 10+ years, or they have been at the club 8-10 years and are not in the top 25% of earners at the club. These players can sign for whoever they wish, and the current club has no option to match the offer.

Restricted Free Agents - those who are out of contract and have been at the club 8-10 years and are in the top 25% of earners at the club. These players can pick any club they wish, but the current club can match the offer if they wish.

 

Seems like every year, Salopek is a chance to be traded...

Would love Clinton Young at the dees. Knows how to kick a footy.

Clinton Young trained at the Demons after 2005 season (u/18's) and then went to Hawks rookie list (!!!)

Can't divulge too much, but my mail tells me he's been wooed and is getting quite chuffed by the attention he's getting from a couple of clubs.

mabee this is our gws no bid ticket to j.viney pick #23

honestly right now I would prefer Blease + a draft pick over Viney if i had to choose between the 2.

Edited by olisik

Josh Drummond? Would probably be pretty popular with the guys in rehab and recovery groups but I'd rather get somebody who can get on the park more weeks than not.

Talent to burn in a body that wont let him.

Clark would hopefully be able to lure some disgruntled Lions to the Dees...

Blease is no free agent...

Agreed......... I am not 100% over the rules but Blease is not an FA

If he does not re-sign with us I beleive he will have to nominate one of the drafts and be drafted to play next year - Unless he is off to GWS as they can still sign FA's

Rivo & Moloney (probably one or two other un-contracted) can walk out to a new club if they elect....

surely we can trade blease if he requests it.

I think thats making the assumption we wont trade him and make it hard for him to stay in Melbourne


Hope so - but, I'm nervous as my mail is quite close to the boy.

btw, PSD, how's our small forward progressing, the left footer? is he still ripping them up?

It could only be GWS or GC who would have a real chance of getting him as unless a club higher up the ladder made an offer we couldn't refuse (which is unlikely as unless a club specifically needed a small quick player who is yet to prove himself at AFL level they're not going to offer up much) then i have no doubt at all we'll play hard ball and force him to the draft (even if that means we get jack) and into the arms of GWS. Does he really want to go there?

Even if he walks he ll have to go into the national draft. Cant really see a team willing to pay a first rounder for a kid who just walked out on their old team.

Everything I hear and read says Sam is enjoying his footy, has close mates at the club and credits his coaches for his recent form. He also did an interview on 5aa radio earlier in the week saying he's enjoying being at the club and speaks about taking the club forward. Contract negotiations are taking place, I'd be very suprised if he wasn't playing for Melbourne next year.

good read

this part is interesting

Fantasy trade: Brent Moloney and pick 13 for Josh Caddy.

Also

Travis Colyer

Very very average read.

For the last time - MOLONEY IS A FREE AGENT!

Restricted. Can be signed and traded.

Ha, all this Sam Blease talk put to bed on SEN going on the thread about it! THANK GOD!

Restricted. Can be signed and traded.

As someone who has floated this - I have not heard anywhere that the AFL sanctions this type of behaviour. And as it is new to AFL (if sanctioned) it is fraught with danger.

If Essendon sign a RFA and then a club meets that contract and says 'here we will trade him to you' - I bet you the Bombers say 'nah, don't want for the price' and that club is stuck with a player they don't want and who doesn't want to be there.

Even if he walks he ll have to go into the national draft. Cant really see a team willing to pay a first rounder for a kid who just walked out on their old team.

Good point, neither GWS or GC would use their first round on him. Would any club? Is he worth a first round pick in this years draft? Perhaps but only just you'd have to think. This would perhaps imply that a club that is keen on him would want to trade with the dees to avoid him being forced to go into the draft.

If we refuse to trade we have the upper hand i assume. As i said i reckon nwe would play hard ball with him and if he wants out force him to go into the draft.

If Blease were in this draft I would take him with our 3rd rounder at the lowest.

surely we can trade blease if he requests it.

That is correct...... I didn't mention it as I am hoping it will not happen!! :)

If he goes do we get to break his leg for a year?

Would be fair enough .

 

Blease is as likely to leave as jack Grimes is... heard from his own words about four times and the bloke im pumping for info tells me to be confident.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
