Richmond receives no compo for losing Matthew White [updated]

[WilliamPowell]

Think The White contract value will have a bit of influence on what we end up getting compo wise for White 

[Stripes]

My guess is a combined pick of early third or late second.

[tony_montana]

looks like mcguane wont be signing with Brisbane before Fridays deadline which means we'll get sweet FA for him and just get compo for white

[one-eyed]

The Tigers are hopeful rather than expectant of a quality compensation pick as a replacement for the pair when those selections are allocated after the first period of free agency expires on Friday.

[Yeahright]

How you think a second and third rounder combined becomes a first rounder is a reasonable assumption is beyond me and probably most people who can add.

2+3=5 so we get a 5th rounder?

[Rampstar]

1x3rd round draft pick is what we will get for White and McGuane I heard

[Loui Tufga]

1x3rd round draft pick is what we will get for White and McGuane I heard

McGuane is out of the mix now so a 3rd rounder for White is about right I recon.........

[one-eyed]

Yep no compo for McGuane as the Lions will wait until after Friday when he becomes a delisted free agent.

[Smokey]

So why doesn't the club offer McGuane a small 1 year contract to force Brisbane's hand into taking him in the trade period?  Surely it's not going to matter to them when they sign him as I don't see what he will be offered would be dependant on any other signings?  If he becomes a delisted free agent doesn't he then have to enter the draft to be picked up, taking the risk (not much granted) that another club could take him?

[Penelope]

nah, pretty sure there is another period where delisted free agents can be signed before the draft.

the risk in offering him a one year contract is he may accept it.

But they offered him a new contract before the end of the season and he knocked it back

No point in offering him a contract as he's decided he wants out. Besides we can offer but he needs to sign, clearly he isn't going to do that, so just let him go and we move on

[Judge Roughneck]

*shudder*

The free agency window closes at 2 pm on Friday.

The trading period has been held up in recent days by clubs waiting to confirm what picks they will receive as compensation for free agents. The decision on compensation for free agents will be revealed after the 2 pm free-agency deadline.

So we'll find out later today what compo pick we'll be receiving in return for losing Matty White as a free agent.

[one-eyed]

Jon Ralph in the Herald-Sun reckons we'll only get pick 47 as compo  .


RICHMOND
Lost: Matthew White to Port Adelaide on a three-year deal at around $300,000 a season.
Gets: White is on modest cash and is 26, so Richmond will probably receive nothing, or at best a third-round pick, likely to be pick 47. Luke McGuane is going to Brisbane but hasn’t been signed as a free agent yet so they get nothing for him.

If Whitey is hardly worth anything then why are Port signing him up for 3 years  .

[Rampstar]

Pick 47 is about right for White. He hasnt done much in his career IMHO.
