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

Your Lordship - what does it say?  Can’t open the link.  

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.

Nah bro I've never called a player a dead beat of a human that needs a brain transplant.

But good try.

I'm a big fan of your work @Lord Travis. Just seems completely out of character there.

Sorry to hear mate.. know the feeling well. It's like losing a family member and the grief can be quite raw.

❤️

Top 5 draft pick at a minimum when you consider he was pick 12, and then add in back to back 40 goals seasons from a 21 year old.

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.
