Danger for the Crows

[Dudge]

Nobody is going anywhere, we will flourish under Walsh and all will want to stay. ;)

Theres always one comedian :P

Had to lift everyones spirits. ;)

Every ones, or your own? ;)

Everyones you know im a people person.  :P

Onya. And I tend to agree mate, I'm starting to think Danger will stay. To me the AFC has made tough decisions for all the right reasons. The Crows seem to be in a lot more positive place now than 2 months ago, and hopefully Danger feels the same. As most people say, it's a talented squad, and with Phil at the helm, I can see the club improving on the last couple of years without doubt. The main thing I reckon, is not to get in Walsh's way, and give him a decent shot to do things his way. By that I mean CEO, Board members (Roo ) and the players all need to read from the same page as him

Yeh i agree 100% Dudge, need everyone rowing the boat in the same direction and thats where ever Phil points to. I know i have been really pumping up Roo's tyres alot lately but i honestly think he knows what Phil does and doesn't need and is the perfect guy for Phil to have around to make sure it happens. Hopefully the boys can get their head around Phil's game plan and style quickly so we can progress in 2015 rather than go backwards for a season. Despite what those outside the state think our list is more than good enough to make the eight.

Okay I thought Free Agency just meant the player was out of contract and had decided not to sign. I thought restricted free agent had been with the club for a number of season and was in the top 25% of the club's salary bracket, therefore the club could match another offer and retain the player. I though unrestricted free agents fulfilled neither requirements, thus other clubs could make offers and the player was free to choose, even if his club matched the offer or raised it.

I didn't think it was any more complex than that... Can someone verify if this is correct of not - in essence? Because I'm now confused after reading other posts on this thread explaining the FA policies

I'm pretty certain it is

Restricted: Been on a list for a minimum 8 years, uncontracted and was in the highest paid 25% in the season past. Club can contest offer.

Unrestricted: Been on a list for a minimum 8 years, uncontracted and was not in the highest paid 25% in the season past. Club can't contest offer (or club can contest, make higher offer, but player can still decide).

So the player has to be on the list for 8 years? What happens to players with less than 8 seasons? Is that the purpose of the pre-season draft? (I just thought that draft was for dodgy trades haha)

[Grazz]

I think if the player wants out of a club with less than 8 years service to them then it's up to the club to agree or disagree to terminate your contract. More often than not the club agrees to let the player go as it doesn't serve them to well to have a player that doesn't want to be there. Clubs are generally very good in these situations when they could play hardball they choose not to. Also the club tries as best as it can generally to see you get to where you want to go by organising a deal with the players club of choice which often see's them the loser in the deal. Clubs are very good to the players certainly better to them than the player wanting to leave is to the club in these situations.

Agree with Grazz here the clubs do their best to accommodate the players requests. Look at Brisbane last year with how we traded the players to clubs of their request (do not agree with this but have already had my say).  It is in the clubs interest to get something done where they can at least get something for the player, maybe not the true worth, tayher than noting when the go to the PSD.
