That was for FA's where a club can get a better deal trading them out a year early than getting a lesser AFL compensation pick when an FA.

But a club does have more bargaining power with regards to a trade with a full year on a contract as opposed to a contract that is finished

The Luke Jackson example for instance ... many here are saying that we might have to accept unders as we don't necessarily hold a strong hand

That may or may not be true

However, I'm reckoning that Kossie will re-sign an extended contract. If that doesn't happen, the speculation will heighten

So there's a few different outcomes (more than 1 club might want him) and none of those possibilities can be ruled out

Have Port said they are not interested?  Why the hell not?  The bloke can play and who wouldn't want him?

Many here have stated that we can't afford to lose Kossie ... so it could be assumed that he is valued highly

Do you reckon we've offered Kossie an extention?  If not, why not?  I understand that we've been busy securing other players but we can do more than 1 deal at the same time

    Absolutely agree that a club has more bargaining power for a contracted player.  I was clarifying the Roos reference.

    Particularly when they're only his second and third years. Kozzy is a star.

    He is, but he can definitely be better. I think he needs a bit more forward craft coaching and if we were able to snare Stevie J, would become the prominent SF of the comp. Skillfully better than Stengle and Papley IMV, but lacks a bit of experience based smarts.

    As much as I'm somewhat confident that Kossie will re-sign, I'm a bit concerned that we haven't secured him past the 2023 season

    So it's the optimist vs the pessimist in me that arrives as the realist

    Boring hey?

    The Tradio Radio guys seem to making stuff up as they go along.

    If I had to guess, Kozzie will sign for two years or four years the latter being his FA year which is when most players sign up to.

    I don't take any notice of trade radio and I wouldn't even know where to find it

    However, my opinion on a talented uncontracted player or a talented player nearing the end of a contract remains constant. 

    Secure the player or you may lose the player

    Even Gysberts, Martin & Morton were traded whilst contracted and none of those 3 are in the same conversation as Kossie.  Most here were happy to see all 3 players leave

    Mind you, pick 88 hardly qualifies as a 'trade'!

    Every year at least one very good player will be out of contract.  AFAIK Luke Jackson is the first one, that we wanted to keep, to leave.  You'll have an unhappy time if you stress over every case.

    There's zero stress involved as far as I'm concerned.  If Kossie wants to go then I'm not sure I'd want to keep him anyway

    So you do the best deal possible in that scenario.  Don't really have favourites unless that player is pure A grade.  The rest are tradeable

    Right now I'd rate Kossie as a notch lower to the best.  He has the potential to be an A grader but he might not get to A grade status.  That's all up to Kossie

    First and foremost, this is coming from Triple M (their news is self generated), secondly it is from an Adelaide footy radio station, couldn’t find a more biased incorrect news station if you tried.

    That ‘noise’ was KK just trying to make up a story out of nothing. Only those of the lowest common denominator seemingly believe it’s happening.

    Talk about Chinese whispers.

    Ridiculous attitude you will have this team dismembered  by 2025 with that attitude if only keeping  A graders or one if our game breakers on our already suspect forward line. 
    Or did you fit get that you would exchange Connor Rozee in the deal?

    Get the impression this is Rockliff trying to build his media presence in a similar way to how Kane Cornes did early on in his career.

    Commiserations LT, I know exactly how you are feeling. Our beautiful 13 year old border collie had to be put to sleep on Wednesday night.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
