Why can't we be gracious and appreciate his time in our beloved red and blue. For mine he will be my favourite opp player! Hope it all goes well for you, Jayden. Will miss you, your flair and your feistiness!.

Is that a fact? Or are you just kicking a kid when he is reluctantly leaving? Most unfair You realise he was taken at pick #57?

I didn't know not to open it until I opened it! 😉 Then saw the 'hypothetical' and who wrote it! They are getting desperate at Trade Radio!

Another thread to not open!

His contracts have been for 2 years at time. I would be surprised if he was on $400k at the dees or if he gets that at WCE. Sometimes we fans over estimate a player's salary e.g Freo reportedly offered Blake Acres a two year contract of $200-$300 p.a. Carlton offered $350k for three years. Not wishing to compare the players more giving an example of some salary realities for 'journeymen'.

They may not be so overjoyed for too long. David King has highlighted that in the 10 years Scott was at North they did not finish in the top 4 in the H&S season. They made the finals twice and reached the PF but lost both. They got the most experienced coach available but doubt anyone can say he has a successful track record.

So much for being united! How embarrassing for a Board member come out and say that especially now. Oh well, looks like the undermining will continue.

Possibly. I didn't think he would get that sort of offer. I was using the Amon deal of 4 years on $600 to $650, as a guide and Port get a 2nd round pick.

I'm glad he said 'shattered' just to let them know messing around with someone's career isn't ok. Ess never had any ethics. Still don't!

Noise thrown around from one media stooge to another!

So for Jayden we would get a third round pick currently #51 but that will come in to a pick possibly in the low 40's once the second and third round picks have been cashed in for F/S. Can't tell you much it pains me to write that.

fwiw this these are the compensation categories. Free Agency Compensation pick categories: • 1st round • end of 1st round • 2nd round • end of 2nd round • 3rd round In applying the formula, an expert committee reviews the formula outcomes. The committee has the power to recommend alternative outcomes to GM – Football Operations where the formula produces a materially anomalous result. The word 'expert' made me laugh!

Thought I would put this here as it might come in useful: Free Agency Compensation pick categories: • 1st round • end of 1st round • 2nd round • end of 2nd round • 3rd round In applying the formula, an expert committee reviews the formula outcomes.

Yes, now that Berry wants to go to GCS and Brisbane need points and GCS get future picks that is a likely scenario.

😢 Watching them together was always a highlight in any game.

I'd trust Demons 11, who has a good track record of mfc info, a lot more than anything reported in the media.

Pick 7 and Bowes for a salary dump is a furphy. Gold Cost will want a good pick back, most probably a future first and depending where it lies give a pick back. Effectively they are sliding down the first round draft order not simply giving up pick 7. eg from contenders Geelong and Brisbane it might be there future first (high teens), from Ess or Saints it might be their future first and GCS give a 2022 pick back. After all they have plenty of them this year: 7, 25, 31, 34, 43, 52, 67, 70, 79 and they will get pick 5 +/- swaps for Rankine. I reckon they will swap a few the 2022 picks for 2023 picks and won;t use the last three.

Would love some insight into why he decided not to sign 🙏

Another example of how incompetent the Trade Radio set up is the AFL 'Trade Talk' website is showing the 2021 material. No idea where they are posting this year's ramblings to keep track of them or to see if there is anything worthwhile to read. They have a daily blog and that seems about it...

Maybe we didn't give him encouragement to stay...

There wouldn't have been many assistant coaches during the time the report covers. Process of elimination for those who knew them and then the name spreads like wildfire among the media.

Semi official:

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.

MFC have ruled out trading Weideman. Another rubbish story made by Tradio Radio! They should stop throwing names around without any back up. It is getting more and more embarrassing for them.

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