Crows need to push this and match it. It’s another example of a top 6 team taking players from the bottom clubs. Free agency as an equalizer!    What BS from Gil Mc !!!!!

Early in the piece, clubs have just let player go, this is now changing as they see the impact of restricted agents moving without a decent compensation.  Seems we are seeing a shift in how RFA works.  Plus the "lower" clubs should have more salary cap room to match the payments.

What i can't believe is the sums supposedly being offered by the saints!  How big is the total player cap?

 

Saints just went from getting Crouch for free to having to trade. Ouch!

pick 23 is harsh on the crows

Such is the way at AFL house.  Not really a surprise after Crouch racked up a strike for drug possession.

But couldn’t Saints now walk away, leaving him at Crows on matched salary, or being traded to another club. It is still their choice to trade or walk away.

FA should be scrapped

Or the secret formula shouldn't be secret anymore.

It really is a bit of a joke...

Everyone knows the formula is not a formula at all just a set of non binding guidelines wholly dependent on the outcome head office would like.

The AFL have been giving Essendon a nice old helping hand since the drug saga happened.

Doing everything they can to get the cheats up and running again.

It’s purely for the fact that they don’t think he’s worth pick 2, despite Adelaide’s bottom finish.

It would be akin to them dishing out a similar pick for a player like....ummm I dunno....say James Frawley or something like that.

Can someone enlighten me on the rules of what happens after an offer gets matched? I understand that it means a trade needs to be facilitated but if it can’t does that mean it defers back to the old model of nominating of the PSD/ND?

That the druggies got pick 7 for Daniher and Crouch gets pick 23 tells you all you need to know about how much of a messed up system it is. 

100% Adelaide should match, as should GWS. Could be an interesting trade period now that the Saints (and likely the cats) will have to trade for the players they want. 

Bet you the AFLPA have a cry about their players not being able to get to their clubs of choice easy.

Changes: Tomlinson, Melksham, Jones, Hunt --> Petty, Narkle, Harmes, Spargo 

Tomlinson IMO is a better interchange than Hore as he is much more versatile.

Like the team but Lockhart IMO needs to be given an opportunity to mind the oppositions smalls. We always get burned by the midgets who are too quick!

The Couch pick of 23 is rated as Band 3 (2nd rnd pick).  Daniher was Band 1 = 1st round.  Band 2 = end of first round. 

So the AFL has 'discounted' the Saints offer to get to Band 3.  Big difference in principle to the Band 1 Adelaide were looking for.  I'm a bit surprised the AFL didn't rate Crouch offer as Band 2, if only to 'manage the optics' which the it loves to do.

In practice it doesn't matter in this case as Band 2 would be pick 21 because Adelaide finished 18th but in principle it is significant in how it could impact the assessment of other FA offers.

The Frawley compensation was our ‘priority pick’. 


If daniher got 3x700k for band 1, the crouch offer must've been pretty low.

The AFLPA and their spokespersons have been spruiking the "Ämerican system" for a while now, except they don't want all the negatives, such as players being traded against their will to maximise trade value and public knowledge of payroll.

But we are slowly moving closer and closer to the American systems.... I think it's sad but anyway that is irrelevant.

On the matching, i don't have all the details but essentially by a club matching an RFA offer from another club that player remains contracted to the original club and if the player wants to move a trade has to be agreed to.

We haven't seen the situation yet where a offer was matched (lets use Crouch) and no trade being agreed to.

Will be interesting to see what happens and if the Crows get what they want (better than pick 23) as compensation.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
