seeing as how we would be doing essengone a big favour by reducing their wada impact
i'd settle for essengone adding in their second rounder as a sweetener
only fair
in your first example he would have to sit out of football for a year (i think) if he refused to go to the club who drafted him
your second example sounds like draft tampering
and one could argue, in this context, the larger the sample the more out of date it is i.e. irrelavance increases
the only way the sample can increase is to go further back in time
are you sure the crows can't dig their heels in and insist danger accept the matching offer?
if he refuses then he sits out for 12 months
have you seen the rules or are you going on what's been reported (or not said)?
otherwise, i agree
i guess you also need to compare it to what would happen if no fa and ooc
i.e. trade, else go into nd/psd......which is what seems to be happening anyway
you are making a big assumption that we offered 1.5m per year
the media notoriously use inflated figures
it could represent 1st year of a massively front-loaded offer
it could be total bs
i'd ignore the 1.5m bit but accept we made a higher offer
but dusty just continued his good form (and got a nice pay rise)
if howe stays and is disappointed he might just do the well worn melbourne thing and coast until his next contract year
