Ok, how does compo work then?

Is it based on what salary White has been offered from Port?

Would we be looking at maybe a 3rd rounder?

[Yeahright]

It's funny how players Claw likes will automatically be as good as they promise but every single AFL club have some fails and take their time in building up a list. If only one club could hire Claw, imagine their premiership window

If it's a trade, what are we likely to receive in return?

I think they take into account things like games played and salary and then give you some arbitrary pick. Reckon it's safe to expect a 3rd round.

I supose part of the issue some folks have and I can understand their view is the fact that the Club will offer people like Grigg who aren't great players either long term deals on good coin. They seem to be prepared to pay overs for some but not even come close to offering others what they are worth

WP , you have nailed it !
So I gotta ask the question
Is this a ' Dimma's favorites ' issue ? Grigg , Houli , Petterd for example ?
Or is it a Dan ' I used to be a player manager but I'm above that now and I don't tolerate player managers  ' Richardson issue ?

Not sure how it can be a trade when he is an "Unrestricted Free Agent" meaning he can go where he likes. The Tigers don't even get the option of matching any offer

We got one from Port in Chapman, so I'm not gonna begrudge Port one of ours.  I think we won out of that one.

Ekto sends fish and chips, whats your point?

[JVT]

Nope, he will sign with Port on Friday and move across.

I would have thought Dan Richardson knows exactly what offer(s) White was looking at, and stated we (RFC) wouldn't be willing to match it so White has decided to move to Port (which he is completely entitled to do).

You win some and you lose some. He was good this year but average at best prior. Just means we need to continue doing what we have been which is bringing in more talent.

If it all goes as expected, best of luck to Matty White, has been a great servant of our club.

Matt White to leave Richmond

A day after re-signing Dustin Martin, Richmond has lost free agent forward and midfielder Matthew White, who has told the Tigers that he wants to leave the club.

White, who is an unrestricted free agent, is set to move to Port Adelaide.

White informed the Tigers of his decision Tuesday morning, after the club’s best and fairest count, won by Daniel Jackson with Martin second. White finished 19th.

White’s manager Anthony McConville confirmed the 26-year-old’s move.

"Matthew is an unrestricted free agent and he has advised Richmond that he is going to explore some further opportunities elsewhere. I have had discussions with Port Adelaide and that is his likely destination," McConville said.

"Richmond had indicated Matt was a required player but they understand the free agency situation and the opportunities for Matt to play a role at a club."

Richmond would be likely to get an end of second round draft pick, at best, as compensation for White.

The mechanism for determining the compensation is influenced in part by the age of the player and the size of the contract he accepts at another club. As a contract offer has not yet been put to White - and won't be until the free agency window opens on Friday - it is uncertain how much the compensation would be likely to be.

A quick player with endurance, White has played 16 games this year for a total of 105 and 54 goals in his eight seasons with the Tigers.

 Yep !

[lamington]

I'm going to miss Matt White. With interchange caps coming up next year, pace and having a ready made super sub could be the difference between 8th and 9th.

I'll always remember him dominating the Grand Final Sprint, his amazing 4th quarter goal (should have been goals) vs Freo, and the role he played in helping Richmond crap on the Hawks this year.

Matty, all the best
