Trade week rumours and innuendo

[one-eyed]

Hawthorn backup tall Sam Grimley has asked the Hawks to explore a trade for him after a brilliant VFL season without a senior game. The 23-year-old kicked the most goals in the VFL this year (45) with hauls of seven and six entering the finals for Box Hill. But the Jim ‘Frosty’ Miller medallist could not add to his senior tally of games at Hawthorn after three games last year. His manager Ben Williams told the Herald Sun on Wednesday he had alerted Hawthorn that Grimley wanted more opportunities. Grimley is contracted for next year so Hawthorn would receive compensation if a trade was struck.

Melbourne will get GWS defender Sam Frost, with GWS and the Demons working on a trade for the younger brother of Collingwood’s Jack Frost. GWS is asking for Melbourne’s second pick and while the Demons are reluctant a deal will eventually be brokered.

I agree with 100% that we desperately need a back up Ruckman but the problem with all the Ruckman that are currently looking for trades (Giles, Goriange, Grimley ect) is than none of them want to go to another club to be a "Back Up" Ruckman.
All these guys are leaving to either get more game time or become the #1 Ruckman at the new club.
Unfortunately whole we have Maric it's going to be very hard to entice any out of contract Ruckman to join us.

Hmmm interesting. Could be worth a look.

Has played 36 VFL games for 86 goals in the last two years.

Has there been an explanation on the Frawley pick 3 compo yet?

I thought the compensation was linked to the new contract, but how does that compare to Buddy on his $1m per year for eight or whatsoever years with the Hawks only getting pick 18 or 19 or whatever it was?

The afl refuses to share the 'scheme' they use to work it out, with the public apparently

White worth nothing hmmm

IMO Vlad just puts his fingers in his bum and sniffs it and comes up with a numberhe thinks is good. Doubt kit's note scientific than that

Yes it is based on the FA contract with the new club ($ value and length). They then decide what round and it then falls immediately after the previous clubs pick in that round.

Compo for buddy was a first round draft pick, but Hawks being premiers 1st rd pick was 18, next pick in round one after that was 19

Because the dees are crap the Frawley compo is pick 3 because their first round pick is 2, first pick after their 1st round is 3.

Same compo has been applied but where a club sits on the ladder is the thing that influences it more

[Judge Roughneck]

How come whites worth nothing. In comparison especiy with the last round of free agents

Richmond not crap enough?

I can't find that button on my calculator

My ambition to get O'Rourke to Tigers is officially over. He has been traded to the Hawks.

Paddy Ryder will not become a “free agent” in a contentious deal between the Bombers and Power.

The AFL today has blocked a plan that would have had:

ESSENDON rip up Ryder’s contract — that still has two years to run — and reclassify him as a free agent

ESSENDON gain a first-round compensation pick (No. 21) for losing Ryder as a “free agent”.

PORT ADELAIDE gain Ryder and hand over its first-round draft pick (No. 17) to the Bombers in return for two late-order draft picks.

ESSENDON finish up with draft picks 17, 20 and 21.

It is understood rival AFL clubs complained about the deal that effectively rewrote free agency.

Port officials today reacted to the AFL decision saying: “We go back to the drawing board to find a trade that satisfies everyone.”

Overnight, the Power and Ryder’s management moved to trigger a breach of contract clause against Essendon.

Graham Wright has said on Trade Radio that a couple of clubs have approached the Hawks about a potential trade for Ryan Schoenmakers.

[Judge Roughneck]

Cheats.

I really hope the Bombers get nothing for Ryder and they are forced to delist him for breach of contract.
