Tiger71 on the Tigercast youtube channel tonight:
* Repeated the Sean Darcy stuff. Similar to the Geelong deal with Gold Coast. We're going to absorb Darcy's contract $800k p.a. over 4-5 years. Freo give us Darcy and their first rounder. We give them a 2nd or 3rd round pick plus a swap of later picks.
* 95-98% confident Butters will come to Richmond. If Butters doesn't nominate the Dogs by next week then he isn't going there. He is giving us and Port time to organise a deal. 60-70% of his contract will be front loaded in the first two years. Cubs will re-sign on two-year deals during that period and then the money will be available to them going forward. Lalor not going anywhere.
* We won't bid on Cochrane at pick 1. That will mean for Port, Cochrane will be cheaper than if we bid on him at pick 1. They will retain their bonus pick, the first rounder we get from Freo, our future first, plus a swap of second and third rounders.
To match pick 1 they need 2700 points or picks 5 & 22.
To match pick 2 they need 2265 points or picks 5 & 42.
Us having pick 1 makes a huge difference trade wise.
* Not hearing about us and Briggs.
* We're planning to bring in a forward during next year's trade period.
