if we finish 2nd dont we have the 2nd pick in the PSD ... and with so many older players leaving the club wouldnt that give us massive salary cap relief...that being the case couldnt we do a Carlton and have a massive front loaded contract say $800,000 year 1 and 250k in years 2 & 3 which would put Melbourne out of it? By the way heard rumour that we would be chasing a name player but it wasnt Kerr. Anyway time will tell.
The problem is it's unlikely any player these days would have a major fallout with his current club and walk out straight to us or any other club for that matter for free. Okay yep we got Cuz for free but that was exceptional circumstances. The last player to walk to another club via the PSD was Nick Stevens to Carlton 6 years ago but that was only because Stevens wanted to go to Collingwood and Williams said to Stevens stuff you you're off to the wooden spooner.
We could to force a more favourable trade deal though especially if we got the player to select Richmond as his preferred club (As with Judd the AFL will do their best to get the trade through to avoid further free agency talk). However I don't want to trade any of our picks so pass.
Btw which club does the player you've heard Ramps play for?
