Baker nominating WCE should make this easier for them to negotiate a deal that suits us.
RFC can tell WCE to pay Graham more to ensure it's P22.
With us paying a large portion of Baker for them
He's not contracted, so we have no obligation/option to pay Baker.
Only Rioli and Bolton, to sweeten the draft picks we get for them.
Yeah true
Makes it hard with manipulation of the Graham compo in that case
I'm 90% sure the clubs can enquire with the AFL what compo the deal will get, then change the deal later and ask again before it's signed.
This can be used to sweeten the Graham compo if they refuse to hand over 13 for Baker, but I hope they do that anyway.
